This is the week Mrk and I have to confirm accom and pay deposits for Circuit and accom, we are looking light which is a real shame, good news is that we are amongst friends.

In the interim we will reserve five more rooms

An update will be sent to all

Meanwhile many thanks for your deposits and inputs on Ferries, once update is sent out we can start talking ferries

 

EB09 Feb newsletter just sent out

If you didnt recieve it let us know

Stormy

 

Thats it

return Chunnel booked leaving Saturday Tea time

Stormy

 

Are we all getting the same ferry/chunnel crossing? Am undecided what to do at the mo.

 

Tony H, Stormy & Hugh, MRK, Mark G, Phil B &* Girlfriend have all booked the same Chunnel

Ref Returning aim for a tea time crossing unless you intend to go via autoroute from Lux or via the ring.

 

16 weeks to go, at last time is flying looks like its going to be half the amount of drivers compared to previous trips.

13 Drivers on PAU circuit equals unlimited track time for 4 hours oh dear that will be a real pain.

Track time opens at 08:30 and finishes at 12:30 then we are all off for lunch courtesy of TM.

We're thinking of staying here on Sat 6th to break up the journey South: Château de Salvert : le plus sculpté des châteaux en Val de Loire. Unique B&B



And here on Sun 14th after a day playing at the Nurburgring on the way home: MOTORSPORTHOTEL.DE - Welcome



Cheers

Is anyone taking camcorders to record the usual track and trip action and does anyone have the knowhow and editing software to compile a dvd like Paul did for EB07?

I'm thinking of getting a camera and mount to get some footage.

Rog, Marv, are you taking cameras?

 

Yeah, I'll be taking my video camera as usual

I think Phil B will be taking all sorts of camera equipment, he's ex BBC so should be good quality as well. Maybe even HD. Although not sure I want my gurning face plastered over a 50" Plasma even if it is HD.

 

labman wrong Phil B I think ;-)

Remeber guys if youve signed up for the trip you qualify for a free track day at Brands on Friday

Nuff said

 

Will you be employing the "Roger's patented Video camera mounting system"? (Handheld to the un-initiated!)

Oh the hours we spent looking at shots of the carpet as he changed gear!

Stu

 

Mrk, Trackman, Hugh, Mark G good to catch up yesterday at Brands

 

LOL Stu - it was fine going downhill

Rog

 

14 weeks to go guys

1. Ferry booked
2. Passport valid

Stormy

 

Would love to take part in this...

 

Passport is valid... must get ferry/chunnel booked...

 

Rog

 

Very nice Rog...! Assuming it makes it to the south of France (or even to the south of Scotland this time)I'm looking forward to some laps of Pau Arnos with you.
Can't (officially) take mine on track or I will invalidate the warranty on the new engine.

12 weeks to go...

 

Wow! Only 12 weeks already? Better get a move on - to book crossing etc.

 

Well I've been testing it out and so far so good

61MB Vid - Right Click & Save As Please

Cheers

Rog

 

Okay, think I'm going to have to get the Chunnel crossing on the Saturday and follow Stormy/Mrk/TonyH etc, assuming they'll drive slowly enough for me to keep up

 

Eurotunnel boooked...
Think I may be getting new discs next week so they'l be nicely bedded in for the trip.

 

Weird! Just talking to the person who sits next to me at work, and he's going to be in Pau on the Sunday we're there. Small world or what?

 

Tony

No need to worry about keping up! Mrk 'air cooled' Ahlin only has 280BHP to play with
now

Rog, cool Knockhill vid! Is that a head-up display you are using? The Caterham looked a bit twitchy in the moist conditions.

9 weeks to go

 

I've been practicing: Right Click & Save As - 117MB Video












Rog

 

I've been sorting out the car - new brake pads and discs now on, headlamp deflectors bought. Sill undecided about the tyres as they have a reasonable amount of tread left.

 

i will defo have to meet up with you to get a ride in this rog!
just waiting for my 2.1 stroker to be built for my murtaya-should be picking up at knockhill motorfair-can meet up if you want??
martin

 

TonyG - good stuff matey And how much tread have you left on your tyres?
Also if your friends wants to come on track with us, ask him to drop me an email.

Rog - cool vids, and how much power? Your flywheel power seems rather conservative compared to your wheel power.

Tony1 - I have 285bhp thank you, those 5bhp will make all the difference,
