Ok, please keep us posted.
After I had great time on this years Nring & Spa trip I am planning to do it again. So I am really interested.

I'm def interested, Usually one goes on May time.
Would you all be doing the 3/4 day one, or the 7 day one that people off the board did this year?

I would be keen for the 4 day one (think it's a long weekend) as funds are tight, but really want to do the trip for my 30th. :happy2:

I wouldn't mind doing 7 but like you funds will be limited next year so all depends what the hotel, etc come in at, so might be a case of 4 days for me.

Does anyone know if they still let you do the GP circuit??

Think people said that last time they did a 4 day trip it came in around £500 including ferry/tunnel to get there.
People like Greeners/Top cat are the best to ask I think, as they know all the hotels.
I would be bringing the missus with me too, so expect a couple hundred more with her due to hotels etc.

4's enough IMO, probably a touch more if you're taking in Spa too.

We go on the cheap now, you do it enough times, the novelty of eating out and going 'posh' wears off.

4 lads & 4 cars sharing a cabin on the Hull/Rotterdam = £90/each return
6 person apartment self catering = 15euros/pppn

Laps and fuel are your biggest cost.

Thats not to bad. I'll probably be Dover - Calais or Dover - Dunkirk as thats nearer and cheaper for me to do rather than a 4hr drive to Hull

Exactly, you go the easiest route. Dover is 5 hours more driving and a tank of fuel each way extra for us... so £40 more on the Hull/Rott ferry is a no brainer.

Exactly it don't always work out meeting up this side, plenty of places the other side to meet up and drive down together

As per Mikes post (Danza) I wont be doing any more TF days at the ring, I'm sick of spending ££££'s to park my car up all day due to closures.  The way forward is to do a private track day, cost wise it's about the same especially if you bang in 15+ laps per visit.

Ring F1 & Spa F1 tracks are epic and I'd favour any track day trip that could combine these.  Also the hull-Rotterdam party boat is a no brainer!

The Hull ferry is a 10 minute drive for me  :smiley:
Also would prefer a closed trackday at the Ring as the tourist days are a joke at busy times,

Sure will. Should be sub 1100kg and 250+bhp by then, with all the supporting hardware  :evilgrin:
