Opel Treffen Oschersleben Germany June 2011 Dates TBC

[ChrisMk1]

I went to Oschersleben this year with the Mk1 Astra (weekend before PVS) 3-6th June 2010.
What an amazing show!:thumb: :thumb: , 19,900 cars, 67,400 attendance for it.
Does anyone fancy it for 2011?
The likely show dates are to be 2nd -5th June 2011.Thursday-Sunday.

I arrived on the Wednesday evening and met loads of friendly Opel fans, as was made to feel very welcome.
It's a mix of Billing and PVS.
Billing style camping and club stand displays, also a big party out the back of the motorsport arena. (PVS)

This is how far people come from!
Participants from: Benelux countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Poland,
Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, England(Me):thumb: , Spain – amongst others.

2010 Review
http://www.opeltreffen-oschersleben.de/englisch/review/2010/index.html

I've already had feedback from the oragnisers about a UK club stand and they will do that for us.
The official date comes out at the end of the year. Bookings HAVE to be in by 1st MARCH or no stand tickets available. 20k cars is rather a lot for the organiser to get through, so that's why is that date.
Checking out ferry/tunnel prices at the mo, Some bargains if you are booking that far in advance.

Eurotunnel £90 return
P&O Ferries £? Prices TBC
The dates I put in were depart 1st June 8am ish & return 5th June 8pm ish.
It's 484 miles from Calais (60mph avg 8 hrs drive all motorway/autobahn)
If this clashes with PVS 2011, I would rather go here.

I went on my own this year, however Rickardo and a few guys on here said they want to come over for the next one. Anyone else up for a trip?
One bit of advice if you fancy going, try and learn some German, I was in the Army back in the 90's so knew a bit of the language.

I only found 1 other natural English speaking person, most was pidgeon english, but enough to get the gist of what was being said. Don't let it put you off though, It's the BEST show i've done EVER!

[tommy8252]

Hell would even come over just for the show and banter :)

[MK999]

Mates were all planning a european road trip next year and I dropped this into conversation so hoping that works out, although not sure I'll have the nova ready in which case I doubt I'd want to go, mates all wanna go driving on europes best roads in a minivan or something :tard:

[Plug]

the thing is though if i was going to drive all that way i would want to go to the ring aswell,

And you say cheap holiday i payed £200 for a week in spain and i would guess the fuel bill to drive over there will be more than that alone.

[stupot89]

chris spent less than that on fuel this year

[John]

I'd possibly be interested. always wanted to go.

[Plug]

chris spent less than that on fuel this year

[ChrisMk1]

Holy Cow 21 replies!

Here's a breakdown of EVERYTHING it cost me to go and come back, Also what you need to take for the trip.

I will go through everything I can think of with a brief explanation, just in case this would be your first eurotrip.

Required Things Needed - CAR.

1) Passport - Not get out the UK without it!
2) Log Book (V5 Document) - Needs to be original, not a copy.
3) Insurance Green Card - Normally free, but check with your car insurance company. Normally up to 90 days cover free. Just need to tell them the dates you will be away.
4) MOT Certificate - Needs to be valid original, not a copy.

Things Needed to be in the Car by LAW.

On the spot fines IF the foreign plod catch you without any/working.

5) Headlight beam benders - for driving in europe, and not dazzling them with UK spec headlights.
6) Spare set of bulbs - Headlight & tail-light ones.
7) Warning Triangle - In case you breakdown - to warn other drivers.
8) Hi-Viz Reflective Vest/Jacket - France (if you breakdown)
9) Spare Tyre/Can Tyreweld/ Runflat Tyres - Must carry a spare of some sort
10) Country of Origin Sticker (GB sticker) - Needs to be on the back of the car (No. plate GB ones are ok)

I Recommend to have in the car, But not required by law.

11) First Aid Kit - Breakdown/Accident
12) Fire extinguisher - Breakdown/ Car Fire/ Accident
13) Tow rope/ Jump Leads - You never know if you'll need them
14) Oil/Water in 1/2/5ltr containers - whatever you want
15) Tools/Spanners/Fan Belts - Comes in handy if you need to do a roadside repair to get you there/home.

COST FOR THE TRIP

All costs are from the 2010 show and MAY go up slightly for 2011.

1) Car Club Stand Pass - € 15
2) Gate Entry (weekend wristband PER PERSON IN THE CAR) - € 25
3) Ferry/ Eurotunnel ticket (return) - £50-90
4) AA European Breakdown Roadside/Recovery Cover for 1 week
(27yr old Mk1 Astra) - £69 Extra £30 included £500 labour cover to fix IF breakdown/accident occured and needed to recover car back to the UK.
5) EHIC - European Health Card Insurance from the UK Gov - Free.
Register online/Post office for free/reduced costs for medical expenses in europe (Not free like NHS)
6) Travel Insurance for unforseen problems (eg broken leg & can't drive home) - £8 Single trip, 1 week cover
7) Food & Drink - Like PVS/Billing - Burger/ Kebab/ Chip stalls and beer tents available. Can bring own or Supermarket in Oschersleben for local beer.
They normally drink bottles in Germany and find cans a bit odd !

8) PETROL - £320 for 1600miles of travelling from Rochdale to Oschersleben (50miles from Berlin) and back again.

This INCLUDES the first fill up in Rochdale to get to Dover.
I used European Motorway services for fueling. The cost was €1.44 per litre (£1.25 per litre) This was when the exchange rate was £1= €1.15
Hopefully the exchange rate will be better in 2011.
£120 of the £320 was done filling up in the UK.

TOTAL COST is around £550 for EVERYTHING.
1 week in Germany with your own car.

Give or take a few quid for what type of Ferry/mpg you get.
I averaged 30mpg with a Mk1 Astra Turbo Housebrick aerodynamics.
the fastest I went was 75/80 for a short burst, no rush to get there on the Wednesday.

AT OSCHERSLEBEN

There is no camping allowed on the Wednesday night inside the show area.
Gates OPEN Thursday Morning 8AM!
There is a layby outside the main entrance.
Quite a few people park/camp there the night before.

Hotels may be available in the area, but I think they will be booked pretty quickly.
The Hotel onsite at the track is fully booked already!

It is possible to set a tent up for the night.
I didn't, I slept in the car for that night, (long day driving, slept like a log!)

At 7am (German time) the road will be FULL of Opels waiting to get in the show grounds. We blocked off the main road for nearly 2hrs trying to get in.
Thats the fun having 4 days of just chilling and talking cars.

SUNDAY RETURN HOME

The Show is all done and dusted by 12pm on the Sunday.
The prize giving/trophies are given out then. Most people have gone by that time, people drift off from 7-11am and there is no great traffic jam to get out and back on the motorway.

Nurburgring Visit 2011:

Rock Am Ring is on at the same time as the show.(3rd-5th June 2011)
I went down on the Sunday night after the show finished. It was the last night of Rock Am Ring and there was NO chance the track would be cleared ready for any Monday running. IMO, The Tuesday would be the first time you would be able to get on the track.

The best option if you want to do the Ring on this trip, would be to go BEFORE going to Oschersleben.
Setting off 2 days before to get track time, then drive to Oschersleben on the Wednesday to meet up.

Any questions or queries, let me know and i'll try and answer them for you.

[ChrisMk1]

well for me its easier to drive to newcastle and get the ferry to holland and drive in from there so fuel costs wouldnt be too high

Maybe we could meet you en-route on the Wednesday.

Mayhem: where are you in Holland, Possible do the same and meet you on the way, or maybe meet with Tommy and convoy together.

Chris

[Rickardo]

I should of gone this year, I'm definately going next year.

[tommy8252]

just to clarify my route its actually a ferry from hull to rotterdam for an overnight ferry trip. Leaves at 9pm and arrives at 8am the following morning at a cost of roughly 147 quid for en suite cabin for 2 adults and your car. Then from rotterdam a blast over oscherschleben. So a bit more expensive but it is the easiest route for me and prob most people in the north. Final check in for the ferry is 7.30 and the times are the same for return journey from rotterdam to hull. Anyone wanting to come on this route and wanting to meet up/convoy would probably be best to make their way to hull meet on the ferry then convoy through the continent. All details of this route can be found using the p&o link in the first post for ferry details and the full route and breakdown can be found at www.multimap.com

[dj_wudgey]

id lik e to go this but i doubt id be going in the sr f*ck that many miles on my baby lol

i'm from a small town about 20 minutes south of Rotterdam.


edit

iirc the reflecting vest is also needed in germany.
if youre going into town centre's, you also need a sticker, something about keeping 'bad' polluting cars out of the towns (it's only with a few big city's, and i refuse to do it... the same f*ckers also made you wear a yellow star about 50 years ago..)

We're quite lucky in England, we do not have a sticker for the cars for city centre travel. Just tolls for going into London City Centre.:tard:

[ChrisMk1]

Tommy, had a look at the Hull-Rotterdam ferry.

For me,
If you have a passenger, it's worthwhile doing the Hull-Rotterdam route.
£240 for Car & 1 driver
£248 for Car & 2 people.
You have to pay for the cabin, No reclining seats available on them anymore.:(

If you are in the car on your own, then Eurotunnel works out cheaper to do.
This includes the fuel used to and from Dover (from Rochdale).

Just a couple of more videos of the show.
Eventually managed to get a couple of more videos uploaded, Was having a mare with the sound transferring from the mp4 phone setting to avi's, (sounded like in a tunnel).

All sorted now and a happy chap :)

Just had a reply from the organisers about dates for 2011.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your visit.

The date for 2011 is not fixed, at the moment. The reason is, that the dates of major racing series are still not fix.
Probably we will publish the date for 2011 until end of October.
I would be delighted if even more cars would come from England. A space for the Kartbahn is not a problem.

IF the dates are NOT 2-5 June, then a trip to the ring on the way back WILL be on the cards. Didn't get to play last year:cry:

Chris

[bmw156]

this is sounding better every time i see it.

:D:D:D:D

[ChrisMk1]

The date has been released for the 2011 Treffen

May 19-22nd!:d
Passport & polish at the ready!:thumb:

Listen up, listen and! Date for the world's largest Opel Meet the May 2011

Some of you already scrape (rightly!) With the hooves. Now, the wait to an end as the deadline for the 16th Edition of the world's largest Opel meeting in the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben is set! As the exact date was now the 19th to 22 May 2011 set. So you have more than six months time to make all necessary preparations for the biggest bash of the Opel world. We also put in the first plans, for the Opel-Treffen 2011, this year's meetings continued to beat record time. This is certainly not easy, but we are confident. First details about the program highlights in December 2011, we want to announce at this point. So stay tuned!

That's how come 20,000 cars fit:thumb: :d

Chris

[Danb1987]

Iv just been looking into this with the missus!
It would work out 1411 miles in total.

Two choices ferry depart 8am arrive 10.30am = £82
Eurotunnel leave same time as you = £122

I think if funds allow I think this trip maybe on the cards! For me it'd be a once in a lifetime trip but I think it will be worth it!!

Just gotta try and work out costs and pursuade the missus! :thumb:

[Danb1987]

Right little bit of a rough late night break down ;) cost wise worst case..

1411 miles @ 27mtg @ £1.30 ltr = £298ish

Ferry costs £82

Gate and weekend pass £40??

Guestimating £420 in total minus spendo!

Would there be a convoy goin down??

Hi Dan,

I live in Rochdale and will be driving down, Picking up Si Walker(off here)
Maybe meet you at Chesterfield area, then meet up with 4 VVOC lads around watford gap services.

As I've said, It's not a big blast to get over, so 60-70mph MAX!!
Eco drive. I managed 35mpg with a LET Mk1 Astra. Doing about 250 miles on avg 29ltrs of fuel.

There is no rush to get to Oschersleben, We can get there anytime Wednesday evening, as the gates only open at 8am Thursday.

It's 8hrs driving at 60mph. I think everyone going over will be happy to do this speed. The aim is to get to the show and enjoy it. Not go blatting over and having a knackered car / empty wallet when you're there.

How about sharing the trip with Dan?. You can spilt the costs for the trip 50/50, and make it a cheaper option for both of you.

As much as I'd like to share it would be deemed impossible lol

Only 2 seats and the missus wanting to come along it wouldn't be able to happen I'm afraid sorry peg

I'm the same as you Dan, Only 2 seats in the Astra.(Si as passenger)

It was just a thought for trying to get as many bods over who want to come over, and for it to be as cheap as possible to do.

16th Opel Meet
16th Meet Opel Advance Ticket Sales

Advance Ticket Sales World's biggest car meet wants to up the ante:
Opel meet 2011: the pursuit of new records continues!
By Sabrina Gorges

In May, the wait will be over: For four days, Oschersleben's Motorsport Arena will become Opel City when fans from all over Europe will gather there – for the majority it won't be the first time.
Because our meet has come a long way from a casual meeting of Opel enthusiasts. Over the years, it has turned into a meticulously organised mega event, creating a positive state of emergency in and around Oschersleben every year.
In May, the hunt for new records under the sign of the lightning bolt continues – and you'll be part of it!

The bar is set high...
We don't know about you, but we certainly still get goosebumps when we think about last year's numbers. After days filled with euphoria, partying, fun, stress and uncountable fervent prayers to the weather gods above, we were proud to announce a total number of 67,400 visitors and 19,900 cars – an exhilarating feeling which was hopefully passed on to every single one of you, too.
We're still riding on this great feeling of nothing is impossible and ask ourselves: Can we up the ante once more? We say, sure we can!

Popular Event Highlights
To meet our ambitious goal, we've come up with a programme that leaves nothing to be desired.
As usual, we'll have popular event highlights such as the Show & Shine competition, the 1/8 Mile Sprint, the Public Race or the Drift Challenge.
The latter will again be a Particularly attractive event. Repeat winner Patrick Becker will be competing once more – can anyone beat him at corner drifting this year?
As usual, the parties will take place in two separate marquees – with lots of music and lots of fun guaranteed.

Volker Strycek rocks the house
OPC boss Volker Strycek will show off his musical talent.
On Saturday, May 21, Volker, his Flying V and the legendary Opel band B-Kadett will have the crowd going wild.
You'll get to know a completely different side of this passionate rock musician and ex racing driver. The contestants for the „Miss Opel 2011“ beauty contest will present their best sides at the paddock's main marquee on Friday evening (May 20).
On a side note, the jury members have not been chosen yet.
In other words: The organizers will invite one or two surprise guests to Oschersleben, with guaranteed fun and excitement for all.

Competitions non-stop
Car-related competitions have always been a part of tuning meets.
They have the pleasant side effect of entertaining and exciting the audience.
Underdogs at the 1/8 Mile Sprint are just as much part of it as tires going up in smoke at the Burnout and Donut contests. The participants can win cups – some of the popular trophies have already become true collectors' items.

Buzz and action everywhere – right up to the last corner
The bird's eye view reveals it every year: The Opel meet takes up every corner of the Motorsport Arena. Every piece of lawn – no matter how small – provides temporary room for tents, gazebos or barbecues. All over the grounds, people will be partying, chilling out and showing their good humor and commitment to the Rüsselsheim cult brand.

Don't miss a thing!
In 2011, the Opel community will meet again at their place of worship – The Oschersleben Motorsport Arena! We look forward to welcoming everyone who wants to join us – no matter where they're from, no matter what they drive – as long as it's Opel!

Some important information at the end:
The safety of visitors and helpers is our highest priority.
We will therefore rigorously enforce the “Safety First” campaign as we have done in the past.
With your help, there'll be no drinking and driving! Anyone caught drink driving on the grounds will have to leave the meet. Please take care of yourselves and your friends to ensure that even the last “black sheep” sees reason.

How's you german practice coming along!:english:

i might, make a last minute snap decision on this, need to see if the chevette is ready.

i will say no atm.
can you get tickets on the gate lol.

[ChrisMk1]

You can pay on the gate BUT it will only be on the party space 2 slot. See the bottom right of the ariel shot on page 1.
The rest of us will be on the Kartbhan(Gokart Track) right in the centre of the show.

May have an alternative plan, if you ar SERIOUS about going.
Send us a pm if you are.

Just had a look on the Official Osch site.

Looks like the Spanish are coming again.:wtf:
2,300km drive from Alicante in a Corsa C! :cuckoo:

Guess we've found the furthest travelled trophy for 2011.lol

This year some members of the ClubGSISpain, me with them, are travelling to Oschersleben. Personally, I "only" have 2.080 km to make with my Astra mk3 XE, but some collegues are coming from the very south and will drive for more than 2.700 km with an Astra mk3 LET and an Astra mk2 LET. Is there a price for the furthest guys? :cool:

Regards.

There is a prize for most travelled car. (sonderpokal)
When you arrive there, you need to register for sonderpokal at the main info office.
This year there are 3 trophies for it:d


Does anyone want their spec sheet converting to German?
I'll be sticking one in the window of the Astra.
Let me know if you want one doing.

Car stand passes should be with me next week hopefully.
Just waiting on Mr Postman.:tard:

I know how you feel Tommy.
I've got the engine stripped and about to change the water pump coolant pipe. Nice easy job!

Got to make this one, got a photo-shoot with the Opel-Flash magazine on the thursday afternoon to do!

Nice, well the rings have gone in mine so fitting a whole new bottom end, on the plus side though when I emerge from the garage it will have a strong bottom end and be running on twin 40s :)

[ChrisMk1]

If you need anything and if I may be able to help in any way, give me a call.

Chris
