Cos it would be the best CS trip ever...

drive down to Dover, get P&O over to France (or EuroTunnel)

then drive to Germany, and race on "The Ring" (get eaten by bigger cars too, but thats all part of the fun)

would be best for next summer, when there are no shows on over here... that way we can get all the cars we need

dunno how this would be organised tho ?????

any ideas peeps ??

Inspiration taken from Total Vauxhall?

Good idea all the same though! I did read that 5 people die there every week!

didnt read in Total Vauxhall... (dont buy it)

think it would be an ace idea.. but probably a really hard one to pull off...

need to find prices on

EuroTunnel
P&O
All toll roads
Passpost details
how far it is away from here
how much the ring costs for a day (not to hire out for just us.. although you can do that another idea)
hotels/B&Bs


will start having a lil look online soon...


what say you ladies and gents ???

Im sure Ive read in one of the magazines or on another forum a list of prices and everything you need for a trip to the Nurburgring.
Other car forums have done the trip, could be worth asking them how much it cost?
