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.

few!!

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!

any news on the hotel yet??

cost i mean...
and is it B&B or all inclusive?

We're also be staying the Sunday night to then go onto the Ring Monday morning, fancy tackling the Nürburgring Joe?

your a bad man joe... you make me want to spend more money than i can afford..

BUT if you said you wanted to attack the Stelvio pass... on the way to the ring... i would just have to come with you in convoy...you know..just incase...

Mmmm sounds like a plan my man!

I'd love to but that would add another 2 days on the trip at least

Great stuff

tbh...i may die on the pass...

best left alone for a bit..
i will go there one day..

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. 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,...

Are helmets required for driver and passenger on track?

James

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?

James

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

Fixed that for you Steve

+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

been waiting for this thread since last june....i am definitely there...

I think we need to nominate a new head chef for the campsite bbq this year, JBT was garbage last time!!

after JBT's incident this week, ie: him setting himself on fire i doubt he will want to do it

His hair may have actually grown back by spa lol

No problems....i nominate.....nick!!

Its a deal.............. As long as I don't have to use those crappy disposable bbqs!
