Fuel, with around 300 miles from Dunkerque to Nurburg, you can work out what your car can do ...
Ferry/tunnel £65
Accommodation £65 per night for two people sharing
Food £Depends how much you eat!
Ring time £10 quid a lap roughly

Tyres £Again, depends on how you drive!
Brakes £Again, depends on how you drive!

With two people sharing, its not that bad to be honest ...

So for a 2 night 10 lap stay...

~5 tanks of fuel = £200
Ferry = £65
hotel = £110
Food = £200?
Ring = £100

Total = <£700

Mmmm...

I'd love another trip to the ring, but just can't take the time off work and don't currently have the money either. Will definitely be up for a March/April/May visit next year.
