Default Gatebil Norway July 2011?

Planning on going to this, never been before but looks awesome!
Has anyone got any tips? Any of the days better than the others?
Cheers

Yeah bring a lot of money, food is quite expensive in Norway I usually go on Saturday, but I guess it doesn't matter that much. Sunday should be a bit less action with cars broken down already and so on I guess.

The police in Norway are strict when it comes to speeding so take it easy to the track.

And yes, it is awesome fun

Cheers for reply, everyone I speak to about Norway says it's expensive, but how much is expensive? How much is an average lunch from restaurant, sandwich from a shop, pint of beer etc?
Good point about broken cars, will aim for Sat.

If I recall correctly a simple burger was something like £10 at the track.

Yep Norways expensive and the current exchange rate doesn't help.
A pint will be around £7-10 depending on the beer, a lunch in a restaurant around £10-15+.
Its a good weekend, the Norwegians are top people and all speak English. They'll also teach you what binge drinking really is
As already said, dont speed! The police are strict and the fines are BIG.
