Journey to the Ring and Spa 29-31 May 2010

[shimmy]

Just thought i would start a thread (again because i am really excited).

I guess there will be a TF day at the Ring on the weekend before and we will have to wait for that before booking travel but i have jumped the gun and DONE IT.

Out - Saturday 29th 11.20am Eurotunnel
Ret - Monday 31st 9.42pm Eurotunnel

Always can change the out times if things move but it only cost £90 ret

Did any of you guys last year stay at the Ring on the Sunday night instead of moving to Spa?

AlexGTT, david, dave1 and i stayed at the Ring the night before. It meant an early start around 0700 but it only took an hour to drive to Spa from the Ring

Was working out some costs on this as well which may be a useful reference for people to know.

Mileage:

West London - Nurburgring = 367 miles
Nurburgring - SPA = 71 miles
SPA - West London = 326 miles
Track miles: 60-80 (I'm a track virgin)

5 tanks of fuel: £350
Trackday: £250
Hotel: £100-150 (2 nights)
Food & Drink: £200-250
Eurotunnel: £90

So looking at £1000+- for 3 days.

If the weather is good i also will be at the ring on sunday before the MLR trackday

If you remember Rob (so many trips it gets confusing) I only did Spa that trip but did stay the extra day.

I'm definately at Ring from Friday evening before Spa. My ET booking is 16:20 Friday back Tuesday 1st June.

I'll probably drive to Spa on Sunday late afternoon.

Leaving Tuesday gives an extra night in Spa for beer/food.

Oh yeah, lol! Liking your plans mate - out Friday, Ring Saturday and Sunday, Spa Monday, return Tuesday (maybe Wednesday with a detour home via Amsterdam...)
