So to recap:

No ring.
Now no karting.
3/4 days accommodation.

£1k(ish)

Phil, I agree.

How about we just re-incarnate last years trip. Friday am leave, Sundap pm return. No ring means more sedate trip back.

Any agreeers?

Actually I hadn't realised about the karting being part of the even until recently, so kind of cherry on the cake anyway. And I expect Quattro GmbH may have their own back-up plans so Oliver may inform early this week.

If not, maybe there's a German track day opened on that Sunday that's not too far ? Or maybe even Hockenheim has a track day on Sunday [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But don't cancel too quickly : I do remember how most of us had their jaws to the ground when the first pack of 30 RS4's roared at full power in front of the stands, in heavy rain.

Agree Phil, Thorney.

Friday -> Sunday would be better.

Unless Quattro can bring on the dancing girls [img]images/graemlins/smile_smoking.gif[/img]

Anyone know whats happening at the ring on Sunday?

I appreciate that John.

Just wondered if it was closed to us because of a motorsport event that may have been worth watching for a while on the way back home?
