Any one up for Brands Hatch next week?

Tue 18th May, open pit, 0900 to 1700.

£225. bit expensive, but worth it, its a fantastic track. I have already booked.

For those who ain't been to a MSV track a, there very well put together, and Brands is easy to get to from the M25/A20

Sonny, where are you based? I'm in west kingsdown...

[sonny]

Not far from you at all.

MrMule - you coming to the Kent AOC meet next month, at Tonbridge Audi?

Check the Events section for details...

[mrmule]

It's goodwood revival that weekend but yes may pass by

[sonny]

You fancy Nurburgring in Mid/late October MrMule?

Im looking at heading over there for a weekend

[mrmule]

Sounds awesome. Never been though. Any idea on projected costs?

[sonny]

Long weekend, 3 nights (22nd to 25th October)

1) HOTEL, The Ringhaus. 3 nights: 1 pax 135e, 2 pax sharing 255e
2) LAPS, 15 laps 250e
3) Ferry £65, Tunnel £105
4) Fuel 3 x tanks £210 ?
5) Food and drink £25 per day?

Again this is a rough projection of costs. A good guess around £500.

You can by less laps, and again we could leave Sunday night, that would make it more cheaper, however, if lapping on Sunday morning it will make the dive home more tiresome.

[mrmule]

I'm guessing you only budgeted gas for just the ring, and not getting there and back?!?

Sounds OK actually. I think two nights would suit more. I think Cameron aka 'the6' would probably be up for it.

[sonny]

Im trying to remember what I used last time. Refueled at Calais, refueled at Ring twice, then when I returned, so 4 times in total, did 12 laps (Ring was closed on one day due to Fog.

To be fair, depends on driving style and how the car drinks fuel.

[mrmule]

Sounds good. I'm keen. You have a C6? Anyone else you know interested?

[stumpyrs4]

It's about a 500miles journey each way I think...

[sonny]

390 miles from Bromley to Nurburgring.

[stumpyrs4]

Yeah sorry was a typo, I meant c300miles from Calais.
So for me that's just about 1 tank of gas each way (driving carefully) + whatever I'd use there.
