Cost? Depends on how long you go for, how many laps you do and how much beer you drink http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Basic costs are...
Ferry Crossing: Approx £120 per car.
Room: £20 a night B&B per person.
Petrol: You will do roughly 1100 miles in a weekend, depending on laps. Budget on about £40 for a full tank of super in Germany.
Laps: £85 for 12
Meals, Booze and Misc: Dunno, £30 a day perhaps? Depends on how mad you go.
Travel Insurance: £20 - £30.
Green Card: Make sure you have one. My insurers charged £25 for this.

So for a Fri - Sun session:
Ferry: £120
Room: £40
Fuel: £220 based on 200 miles per tank (remember this is a combo of track and motorway usage)
Laps £85
Meals: £75
Insurance: £55
Total: £595

So thats £600 give or take.
Thats for a full on weekend with no scrimping.
You could probably do it for £450 with only 6 laps and not getting completely b0ll0cked every night a la Stef http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Hope that helps

James.

Sounds about right - remember tyres take a hammering too (esp SO2's)

Oh and tracking after you lend your car to a loony http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif LOL http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

guys, June is looking shaky for me too as my parents will be visiting for 3 weeks... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
However... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif ....I have already booked for some harness belts and some semi-slicks for May so I will be rearing to go either July or September sounds good (August=family hols).

I'd say let's finalize a date asap so we can all get organized with plenty of time (I'll be coming up with at lease another 4 people from Italy - 911 996, MY00 turbo, Elise, Elise 135).

James

Can we confirm a date please mate .... will it be on the 28th of Sept as I will need to book holiday.....

Also we can then start getting some idea of how many are going to be coming in Sept.

Mark

All righty then http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

How does...
Out Sept 28th @ Midday.
Full day on track Sat 29th.
Full day on thack Sun 30th.
Back Oct 1st @ 19:00'ish.
Sound?

Harj, would you bo coming on this? Would you be cool to sort the Hotel again (as the word discount was mentioned http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif).

Based on the above dates and times, I have got the following crossing prices based on Car and 2 people:
Seacat - £162.00 (

Hi James

Those dates sound good to me.

Does the SeaFrance Ferry take longer than the Seacat?? If so by how long....??? Otherwise I think I might take the train or the Seacat....although I am not keen on that parking lark http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

Like you said we may get a better deal if we wait until mid August to book.... lets wait and see.....

I have already put my holiday dates in...... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Roll on September.....

Mark

Yep... ferry takes just over an hour, so I suppose thats an extra 20 mins.

I think ill wait till nearer the time to book a crossing, to see if the prices drop at all.

Parking aside, Seacat was a good way to travel. Its relatively quick and provides a comfortable break in a long journey. Unlike the cattle crates of the shuttle.

James.

Yeah your right the Seacat was a nice way to travel and was quite quick once we had a beer or two http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Lets see in August what the prices are like then make the bookings......

Ring on 29th Sept anyone http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

James.

James,

I'm far too scared to go again! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Matt

I am still going.........

Yes Please http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

I think we should use Bike 2 Track again for the travel and accomodation as John Reeves did a great time considering I can kick his ass around the Ring :P LOL

According to John, there is a guest house around the corner from the Zurburg which would be around £20 per person per night!

Crossings are also alot cheaper through John.

Harj...

Harj,

Sounds like you know da man http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/cool.gif

Can I leave it in your capable hands, or would you rather have a rest this time and have someone else do the organisation bit?

Let me know...

James.

Evening geezers,

Even though I still havent come down after last weekend, (and the Renault clocking its 100,000th mile at the 'ring), much to someones surprise (Harj) I see no reason why September should be out of the question.

If anyones daft enough I may have room for a passenger or two.

Thanks to Harj for his hard work in organising the last trip.

Cheers
Lee

End of sept ??

RedFive will be there http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
