Hi Gordon,
called DFDS yesterday and the reduced price ferry crossings appear to be if sailing before 1st Sept, so no good for us. Have you had any revised prices or are they as given some weeks back?

[gordon]

All i want is NUMBERS so i can talk to ferry companies ... the more going better the price ... Hull with P&O allways cheaper +times for crossings are also better although Newcastle is shorter drive .... so give me a YES or NO !!!!!!

 

[gordon]

Mon 8th - on track at ring, many many beers in evening (general bragging about track godliness expected)
Tue 9th - leisurely drive to Spa
Wed 10th - on track at Spa, again a few drinkies in evening
Thu 11th - leisurely drive back to ferry
Fri 12th - home

Put me down, car + driver and one for the Ring and one day at Spa.

Any advice on insurance companies that will cover me for both track days? Want to get some quotes asap?

Donald,

If your policy expires between now and then you'd be better to try and arrange it with your normal road cover, places like Manning:

do it, as do Competition Car Insurance..

Donald... myself, Gordon and a few others are with Manning, you will be covered for both Ring and Spa as they are both recognised events... I have just come back Thursday from the Ring (Destination Nurburgring) and trust me those that want to do the Ring, this is the event for you... it's an organised track day, not a tourist day where a lot of cars are not even fit for scrap yard.
For anyone who has never been before, it is worth studying the layout, maybe even playing it on xbox or playstation (only to study the corners, PLEASE NOTE Gaming console is nothing like the real thing)... I'm sure a few of the guys that have been before, would be happy to sit in as passenger for anyone who has not done it.
