I was thinking of a long weekend for this, plus Cully's expenses are for two people as well as 6 days worth, so that's a lot more than it would actually cost for this. But interesting to see though Cully
Doing anything more than a long weekend is going to cost mega dosh and will restrict the amount of people able to do this for both financial and time reasons.
Could even camp like Jonny and Rocker did a few years ago on the club ring trip to keep costs down if necessary.
What I was thinking:
Overnight stop at Calais Thursday or Friday night depending on whether people could take the Friday off or not. Not many miles for most but 350 plus ferry for me plus would be a nice stopping point for the next day.
Friday/Saturday morning drive to the nurburgring then get a few laps in mid/late afternoon then stop there overnight too.
Saturday/Sunday morning get a few laps in then head back to Calais for the overnight stop.
Sunday/Monday drive home in the morning.
The last stop in Calais wouldn't be necessary for most I wouldn't think, but as its 350 miles for me from Dover id most likely be stopping overnight there.
For me it would be 1322 miles for all that, so call it 1500 miles at 50mpg = 30 gallons at £5 max = £150 but ive got another 500 miles more than what most have down South
Would be nice to hear from those who have done it over a long weekend before.
I reckon you could just about do it on £500 with 2 hotel stops Sam.
This would have to be thought through properly once we get the numbers in for how many people actually definitely want to go and where they want to start/stop etc.
