Just received this update from Barry Salmon, one of the instructors @ the BMW course : -
"Motorrad Action Training, Nürburgring 2011
Despite 48 successive years of providing driver/rider training courses at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the BMW Club Mülheim a.d. Ruhr, along with several other long established clubs, are currently experiencing significant difficulties in securing dates for their 2011 training school. Whilst negotiations with the Nürburgring GmbH are ongoing, the likelihood of an acceptable contract being offered seems to be remote.
However, to maintain continuity for those motorbike riders who have been with us on previous BMW courses, we have the opportunity to participate in a Motorrad Action course in September. The Motorrad Action team have held motorbike training courses at the Nürburgring Nordschleife for many years, they have first class (English speaking) instructors, and they have very high safety standards.
The dates for the course are 4th – 7th September inclusive – arrival and registration on Sunday 4th, departure on Wednesday 7th, with 5th & 6th on track. The first day on track begins with a review of safety procedures, followed by training in two sections prior to instructor led total lapping for the rest of the day, breaking only for lunch. Day two begins with training in two more sections, followed by instructor led total lapping for the rest of the day, again breaking only for lunch.
The costs are as follows:
€849 (including 3 evening meals in The Dorint)
€190 3 nights B&B in The Dorint, double occupancy
€325 3 nights B&B in The Dorint, single occupancy
For anyone preferring not to stay at The Dorint, you are entirely free to make your own accommodation arrangements elsewhere.
As a further enticement, you might like to note that round 10 of the World Superbike Championship takes place at the Nürburgring on 4th September. What could be better than a weekend watching the professionals in action, followed by two days riding the Nordschleife whilst it is closed to tourist traffic?
We have places on hold with Motorrad Action for a limited period, but to secure the option we do need to respond fairly quickly. To gauge the level of interest, and to exercise our option with Motorrad Action, can I please ask that you respond to me before the end of March with an indication of yes/no/maybe – at this stage there is no commitment, but a positive response would help move the planning process forwards.
If I can help with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards, Barry Salmon

Barry is a fine instructor, one of the best & will keep us all posted as matters develop.
The Motorrad Action courses are very good and much cheaper than the BMW Club run course, if a little shy on the section training front by comparison.
All the best, Jim.
