I'm off midweek, just after Easter probably.

Who's planning on a trip next year ?

Personal ambition to drive the "Ring" so I'd be up for it - just need plenty of notice.

So who's organising it?.......er light blue touchpaper and stand well clear [img]images/graemlins/flamethrower.gif[/img]

I'll be going back again next year although Easter seems a little early in the year for me.

Just be extra careful.
There's been several reports in the FR driving community that the Ring has turned sour in the past 18 months or so.
Aggressive drivers, too much traffic (before and on the track), too many accidents (and deadly ones), atmosphere can be very unfriendly.
I didn't see it myself but that's what I heard.
The main FR site (amateur site) dedicated to the Ring has decided to stop promoting it.

Thanks Eric! (interesting site too)

seriously though has anyone who normally has trackday insurance managed to get it for the Ring or can you get around it as it is a public circuit/road (or go without)?

I´ll be there also.
Would be nice to see there some rs246 friends. Mostly I go there 5 times/weekend each year

Right now they are upgrading the track.New tarmac on some place.
They also are woking on the "karussel", I wonder if they make it now of tarmac instead of concrete.....
