Greetings René

Thanks René.

Great stuff René, looking forward to this

You are most welcome

Ferries all booked

NCL-AMS Friday o/night, HoH-HAR Sun o/night

What are your ferry times Simon?

NCL is a 1700 departure arriving at Ijmuiden 0900 Saturday morning.

Return is 2200 from Hook to Harwich, gets in at 0600.

Where do most folk stay?

That's a speedy visit and return if you're on the Sunday boat back.

We stayed at the camp site last year, it's comfy with an excellent shower block (50 cent coins), stands a chance we'll book here again.

It is possible to do a parade lap , this means driving behind a pace car and is actually meant to explore the circuit not at full speed, ordered online costs 25 euro, track time costs 40 euros , ordered online , for 20 minutes , there can also a Coupé only session being booked costs , 1850.- euro , but we should get at least 40 participants on the circuit to make it a affordable , cost than 46.25 euros for half an hour.

Great that you will join us with Viva Edinburgh

Can one take two passengers on the parade lap? and presumably one doesn't need helmets for this?

I'm up for a coupe only session

I let you know a soon they answered my E-mail , Working on the Coupé only session , i am also up for that

+1 for a Coupé session Rene, I'm sure Sam would join us if he takes his n/a.

i am also contacting the German Coupé Freunde on Facebook and see what they want.

But i hope we get the Coupé only session , that would be awesome

I think the de Weyert Camping must be on holiday as they haven't answered my messages and reservation request....

Ill take the coupe on a hot lap... ill be slow though
Its a very long fast track and this time ill have no fancy dynamic suspension and diff.... and a turbo...

Spa is a very long fast track

Sound really NICE.
Is there a binding registration?
Maybe still snow and salt on Danish roads.

Still no response..

Great! April 9 is bang in the middle of school Easter holidays so I might be able to bring both sons along and stay 2 nights for a real "boy's weekend" Except that passengers have to be 16, although I don't remember them checking anything last year?

They'd be ok on a Parade lap at least?

Yes they will, but younger non-driving son is not such an enthusiast (yet) so we'll have to see

Maybe young one will need to wait his turn?

If you let me know in time that you cant come , one week before the event i have to give them the numbers of coupe,s that will be on the paddock.

Gr René

That sounds awesome Dave , and yes they have to be 16 to be a passenger at the track time , but the checking for going on the track is not to hard, put him an helmet on and he looks 18 , alternative is the parade lap also 20 minutes without an helmet.

I have send them a mail , and will give them a call next week , its going be ok

Is it ok to take two passengers on the Parade?

Only one person older than 16 years , but i think i go on the track with the parade lap to , i can take one person with me

I'm receiving the emails about Viva, they're in Dutch so I have no idea what they're saying

Mail them to me , than i will translate them for you
