NEEDS TO ATTEND C.A. - CARBON ANONYMOUS!!

hello people...

Having been to the ring a few times now, it is fast becoming a yearly tradition... Have been trawling through the Dates this year, and have decided on the following dates.. the more the merrier for anyone who fancies it...

Thurs 13th Aug to Monday 17th Aug.

There are a few reasons to choosing these dates...

- This is the weekend of the DTM race(the camp site has access to GP track)
- Track time is most your gonna get any weekend this summer
- August is HOPEFULLY best bet for weather...

Basic Itinerary is this...

-Ferry thurs morning
-5 hour drive to track(leisurely)
-set up camp
-thurs evening is track session 5pm-7.30pm
-Thurs entertainment.. prob camp site drinks as u will be SHATTERED

Friday
- morning- access to GP track for DTM Testing/qualifying/racing
- afternoon - 2pm-7pm is track time

Sat/sunday
- EASY - TRACK TIME ALL DAY - 8am-7pm

Monday
-up about 9, 5hour drive back, ready for ferry at 4
-back home to bournemouth at approx 7/8pm..

This was basically the same itinery as we did last year, but last year was the Le Mans weekend.. With the exception of olly's head gasket blowing, it worked really well.....

Costs

-The ferry is between £50-100 depending on times, dates etc.. (per car-regardless of passenger numbers)
- capmsite is £10 per person per night - 4 NIGHTS (has good facilities)
- petrol - 400miles each way(from bournemouth to the ring) - depends on your car..
- LAPS - because of exchange rate - range from £10 - £18 depending on how many laps you buy at a time - 1, 4, 8, 25, annual pass are options..
- Food and drink - we go to supermarket, so its quite cheap, and evening wise, the local restaurants are reasonable(apart from exchange rate..)
- Recovery - European road recovery is about £40 (you may already have with your insurance..
- Insurance - most policies give 30-90 days euro cover..
- Track Insurance - can be bought separately but not too cost effective..
- SIMPLEY PUT - DONT CRASH....WAAAAAAYYY TO EXPENSIVE..


I think that pretty much covers it.. This is an annual trip for me, and as is with everything, the more the merrier.........

I am hoping to get this booked up by end of april, to try and take advantage of cheaper ferrys, and if we can get enough people, hopefully a Group ferry ticket might be an option....

THIS IS A POST FOR ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED....... IF YOU HAVE NO INTEREST, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM COMMENTING, TO KEEP THE THREAD TIDY..

THANKS
