Nah my whole intention of the trip was to do the laps of the ring, could we not reverse the direction of the trip?

When I checked online last night I'm sure it said there was a drift event on 12th too, Just our luck a?? I know it's far from ideal but if there's no way of doing it then maybe something SWS could do next year??

Bri,

Just had a look and we could do Spa/Francorchamps on the Saturday (6th) across to the Ring, down through the Mosel to Stuttgart, down to Garmische, depending on which way we could do Davos and Stelvio to Como but cut across country to Grenoble then back up via the old "out" route.

It would mean missing Monaco but we would get to the Ring.

Thoughts ladies and gents?

Tues and wed stopover

Now this is a wild shot but certainly spectacular place and works out to be £75 per person per night
