I have not heard from our Swiss contingent yet but have heard from someone in the UK who is bringing her entire family :D

The SWRT VIP Day passes will entightle you to spend the day with the Subaru team in their hospitality area, you wil get to meet the team and drivers, be able to take pictures and get autographs you will also get to look closely at the rally cars of the 2 Subaru drivers.

You will also be fed and watered all day by the teams Hospiatality tent.

You can sit and watch the world go by and the mechanics working on the cars, whilst the other menials are the otherside of the fence.

Feel important for the day. You also get one of those SWRT necklace things with your pass on it.

NOt sure about cost yet but will let you all know closer to the time.

How do you get the prodrive VIP thingys? Would love to go to rally abroad, only thing is i can't do a fly-drive option (too young for hire cars) and I don't have my own car (plus I don't think dad would b too happy me taking his)

i wanna go. me and a mate were thinking of going to greece. but the olyimpics are on etc and it's easier to go to germany.

i'd be very grateful of details of this trip. and the prodrive info!

Me too guys and what the costs maybe.
Thanks
Colin

Ok not quite the entire family now as some have to go to a wedding that weekend (sound familiar Steve? :D )

So just:

:D

Ta very muchly & YHM

Sal

Wurzel, Chuck us some details I reconn I can get across probs with a few mates

Ok I have heard from Prodrive but I am going to wait a bit longer before making and promises as they need to get in touch with me again when they know more about what the sponsors are doing

Watch this space.

Driving or Flying???????????????
 

Are the England contingent flying or driving??

They usually drive.

Yep, we're driving via the chunnel, staying in Trier, booked already :D

Wurzel, you can count me in, but may be dependent on where the job takes me! You should also contact the others that joined us last year, I'll give you the email addresses when I get back from Canada (if they dont contact you directly).

LOL at STi Bimbo!

How long is the drive, might be interested in coming???

It's just under 300 miles from Calais and took us about 6 hours but that included refuelling, food & loo stops of which there were many :D

I've done a similar journey (from the 'Ring) which took quite a lot less time but involved rather more mph and only one stop ;)

V intrested, any details going?

Sal, you must have been going very slowly if it took you 6 hours from Calais, I used to do Calais to Heidelberg in 6 hours in my Escort with a bike rack... maybe you shoukd see a doctor about your bladder problem ;)

Rigpig, can't remember the exact dates off my head, but you can find them on www.wrc.com and I think the official website is www.rallye-deutschland.de & should be available in GEnglish!

Al :p That included a stop for brekky in Calais, plenty of coffees along the way and a lunchtime pizza in that godforsaken service area in Belgium of which the name escapes me :D

Oh and another detour to have a drive of the public road part of the Spa circuit which was closed due to a race meeting :(

It was a very leisurely drive :D

Would that be Luxemburg then? Must admit, its a nice drive from Calais to Trier, so it is worth taking your time and enjoying the view! I never really got the chance driving from South Germany to Northern England in one day :(

Interested in going as well. If I get no joy from a couple of my mates by the middle of this week I'll be looking at booking the really expensive single option. Unless anyone wants to share costs/drive etc (I'm based in the East Midlands, UK).

Latest news from SWRT:

If any of you are genuinly definately absolutely definate then just let me know.

Steve

well up for this could also pick up people flying in on the way down

Steve, I'm genuinly definately absolutely definate I'll be going and am up for the VIP day again - Me thinks the Sunday would be good so we are with the team when Petter wins ;):D

I can try for some goodies also, my dad is mates with nicky grist maybe he can sort us out.

BMWhere?, now what sort of english is that mate??? You are slipping now that you are jobless ;) :D

I just replied to the question ;)

We are coming with 5-6 men,2 cars.
@BMWhere and Wurzel

Siggi

Siggi where abouts are you coming from?

We are going to be camping for the weekend and will be leaving Böblingen on thursday afternoon/evening to get up there ready for the start on friday.

We should have 3 or 4 scoobies going up.


I really must read peoples posts properly before replying to them.

Ok so you are going at 10am ok no probs just make your way to BBN and we will wing it from there.

Steve, He's near Reutlingen where the meet is on the 1st/2nd. (I think!)
We can all meet at yours on the Thursday and then head up!

Reutlingen is spitting distance from here, ok Siggi we can all meet up at mine thursday and go up in convoy. I will PM you my address closer to the time.

Siggi are you and your party wanting the Prodrive VIP cards or are you not bothered.

I really ought to start making a list of who wants them.

Steve

Questions over questions.....
