[Eskiiboi]

If I'm welcome in the 106 Rallye count me in! Been threatening for ages but never bit the bullet. How far ahead does it all need booking?

I might stop off at Amsterdam on the way home though and make a week of it haha

[Jonny81191]

In the HDi, it looks like around £400 all in including tyres, food, fuel (incl. at the ring), camping, ferry.

EXCLUDING laps though, as not really sure how many people normally do...

And that's just me on my own, with a passenger would be cheaper...

[Ed Doe]

Im pretty certain on this now I'm banking on doing 5laps, as I think any more a and my tyres will be non existent and I can't afford to include those as an expense on the trip! I reckon it'll be about £500 for the whole lot driving the 6, and ill deffos be camping!

[Jonny81191]

I'm on the lookout for some part worns or something to stick on steelies and run on the way home...

EDIT: Probably just fronts though, the rears will be fine!

[7057sam]

£500 easily I reckon I've heard you can buy a ring card and pre load runs on to it? So may do that before hand leaving me more money for potential car breakages.Need to get break down cover aswel just incase shit hits the fan

[Jonny81191]

You may struggle with breakdown cover... all our cars are over 10 years old and apparently that creates issues when abroad.

There's enough of us, we'll just take a shitload of spares, tools and a couple of towing poles between us and it'll be fine!

[Jonny b]

It wouldbe rude not to!! Iam up for this

I'll be looking at the same that's 50 miles gonna be good enough for me and can always get more.

I'd imagine most people will take a spare set of wheels to tear up or just get new ones fitted there.

You can book track time prior to going haven't heard about a card.

[4WayDiablo]

Might be worth looking at personal accident insurance as if you it the Armco they will sting you for a lot of money!
Make sure you have a European health card too just incase

[Pugmarshall]

My car does 45.5 average combined MPG, so say worst case 40 MPG average?

So 980 miles round trip @ 40 MPG & 140p per litre = ~£155...

That sound about right?

[rocker8742]

If i can afford it bringing plenty of cable ties and the toolbox
