Cost? Depends on how long you go for, how many laps you do and how much beer you drink 
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
Hope that helps

guys, June is looking shaky for me too as my parents will be visiting for 3 weeks...
However... ....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).

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
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......
Roll on September.....

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.

Yes Please
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 *** 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.

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
