Monday, 2.10.2006
von 13:00 Uhr bis 19:30 Uhr

von 08:00 Uhr bis 19:30 Uhr

Come back up on Wednesday
3 days off work, 4 nights in a hotel
GBP 300- petrol all in Cooper S
GBP120 - hotel per person
GBP lots - beer and sausage
GBP 80 - cheap ferry

GBP 600 all in for a total blast (or get a cheap flight and meet us there!)



Any takers?

Date Change

Am now looking at going out at the end September as the start of October sees 3 days of unbroken public access to the track.

As this year has been pretty mild we should have pretty good weather - but be warned if it rains it is not the place to drive heroically - it is much better to tour round when the track is slippy.

I've driven the track in late October before without any problems and it is actually quieter (and therefore safer) as the bikers tend to be thinner on the ground.

This could be good!

Jon,

Hope we can hook up - the fastest M1D deserves another run round the Ring!.

Chris,
If you can move your holiday dates that would be awesome asthe Ring has pretty patchy opening hours the week before. The 1/2/3 October is really the last hurrah for the season as it gets a bit wet and cold after this, but the offer of 3 solida days of track time is too good to miss!

and T-Bone S - good to have you on board!

S
