If i may be so bold to say that Sparco And Joe were (are) at the top end of cost. I only did the two half hours+ entrance for the weekend £100.
Hardly any fuel on track maybe £20.
Camping Cheap as chips.
Fuel to get there ? depends where your coming from.
The rest is booze and grub.
£ 600 for Marco i reckon is about right.

Yes you're right there Joe, if I hadn't of done all the track time and hotel I could of probably done this for £600, maybe a little cheaper.

Next year i intend to do more track time(fingers crossed).
This winter i hope to have the coupe set up a bit tighter on the braking.
I will tow the coupe up on a trailor,so if anyone needs to be got back to Calais/ Dunkerque it wont be a problem.I have booked the sunday night also at the camping.

You do not need to spend that much.

It depends how much extra track time you want to pay for at about 140€ per hour plus around 50 litres of fuel an hour driving enthusiastically.

The basic cost from the channel port will be more like
Ferry, £120 because it's half term.
Basic package £100
Fuel £120
Hotel and meals £150 two nights
or camping and meals £75

So around £500 if you are staying in a hotel, plus the cost of however much beer you want to get down your neck.

it would be a good idea if some one brings a trailor..

that way if any thing happens we can get it on UK soil to get it recovered home!

you could earn a nice penny off that mate!

We are running the weekend jointly with the French club, the English club is dealing with the circuit and the hotel is being organised by the French club.

We will be publishing details when it is arranged.

SpaItalia is still over 6 months away.

Stelvio pass is nothing. It's just hairpin corners and crazy bikers. And some snow at the top. We've taken FAR more exciting roads on our way to Italy! Stelvio on our way back and really really disappointed. And in some places the road / tunnels is too narrow for two cars to pass. Duh. From now on I call it the Stelvia. It's for girls.

Anyway. smile Don't let the price scare you off. If you take the club package for £100 you really only need to add meals, hotel and petrol - which are all variable costs depending on your trip, driving style, accomodation expectations,...

Yes helmets are required, with the exception of the parade laps when you can drive with no lid on.

Ok, thanks. So when do parade laps take place? I presume that's in addition to the coupe-only sessions?

Yes - I'm not sure of the schedule yet, but you need to pay extra for these sessions. They are good value for money, and a good way to introduce yourself to the circuit amongst some very interesting machinery - albeit behind a pace car.

marco you can do it quite cheaply as others have said. magooagain, coupedummy and a few others stayed at this caravan park and you can get one for 65 euro euros a night so if mario is there its 65euros each for 2 nights!! cheap as chips mate!! if lashes goes it's obviously much cheaper

also, i'm probably going the caravan route this year to save a few bob and spend a little more on track time. i'm budgetting £650 but i expect to spend less

+1!

I will (again) be staying at the campsite with Sem (Smetn.be) next year. Im taking a Dutch friend, Jeffrey, with a mint 16vt with me as well.I met a lot of great people there last year and would definately recommend those who are looking for a relative 'cheap' stay to take a look at that campsite. We have good belgium beer and throw-away BBQ's which we will buy 3 mins before the store closes laugh
