Guys, is anyone going to be at the Ring Saturday ?
Zurich - Groningen is ~900km so I was thinking to split it.
Maybe drive to the Ring in the middle of the night at Friday LOL


PS: Who is bringing spare tyres is my question.

I had registered for the papenburg and I just sent an email to Peter.

Sent email to Peter for Assen and Spa for Mark (991 GT3) and myself, the others are coming along along for the road trip.

Alex, yes I want to squeeze in a visit to the ring around these if possible while we're out that way, and try and get an eve / steak in pistonklaus in.

Not sure if its feasible but see what gets booked and whats going on nearer the time.

Spa/Assen - booked.

Post one is updated.

The spa/assen trackdays are a bit London prices:whistle:

yep not cheap but im pretty sure if we all save up till we are 75 o we will afford it!

surely you have some wholesale customer visits to do to Holland :thumbs:, if not ill buy a shirt and you can deliver it to Assen

Come on get involved this is the best side of the site .. Not talking about key rings or paint matches here still drinking .. Driving and enjoying :whistle:

Lol! :supz:

I'm not booking anything just yet as i am hoping to have a new job by October so unable to commit just yet...

Evening gayers. :gayfight: I should be able to commit to this and book in a week or so. My better half is just pulling through some tough health issues at the mo and I need to be sure of a few things before I concentrate on my playtime schedules.

Dazza, I miss you mate. Straight talking from the hip as usual. :hahaha: We need beers soon.:beer:

Curly, hope you can make it, there's scalping to be done.;)

Same for you Rob, hope you can join in mate. :smokin:

Hope the issues are over soon Alex.
All the best.

Being a big eared boy on the farm I'm not familiar with "London Prices".

How much is the Spa TD in October?

Daz, will you talk to my boss and convince him I need more time off ? :hahaha:

Hope all good bud :)

5 booked up for Assen. 6 for Spa so far.

Will sort tyre support van later further down the line.

I'm probably the extra booking for Spa. Will fly out for the Groningen piss up :beer: then drive out to Spa.

Any hotel details for Groningen.

After my extended stay in uk due to no passport not sure i'm back to work so will have to see where i am nearer the time and most probs book up last minute once i know whats what.

Thanks Alex.

Looks better every day dude. Gallons of LPR on ice for celebrations soon. Ssshhhhhh, don't tell Stu and Kirsty!!

Hope you can make is Stu.

So was I from terryb's initial post :thumbs:

I booked for Saturday/Sunday nights.
Most probably I will be at the Ring Friday night.

Where is good to stay at Spa ?

Radisson Blu Palace is hotel of choice in town normally (not Raddison Blu Balmoral which is out of town)


OR we could do La Source Hotelk at the track?

You booked the Mecure Alex ?
