The ring a forum trip
« on: November 29, 2008, 09:32:37 pm »
Ok guys after having a chat with  a few people today who would be up for a trip to the ring next year around April/May/june time.
it cost me and my mate around £400 for the weekend and thats petrol,ferry,dorint hotel but there are lots so much cheaper and will be booking a cheaper one and food,ring laps so not that bad. If you fancy it then just say as i would like to see who is up for it  :happy2:

How many times do you get to do a complete lap?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I'd be interested.

It's something I wanted to do for a long time.

May or June for me please!

How many times do you get to do a complete lap?

you can go around as many times as you like but you have to buy a lap ticket or buy a lap pass that has as many laps as you want on it ie you do a lap and get to the start again and put your ticket in the machine and go again  :driver: but 1 lap is worth the trip and i did 4 laps when i was there and its fantastic.

I've been to Le Mans twice in the last few years and the Chunnel is a doddle. Never had to wait and on two occasions turned up early and they let us straight on  :happy2:

Agreed however....

Speedferries recently went bust... thus a hell of a lot of LeMan'ers that had booked onto there will now be switching to other ferries/tunnel.

Tis a good point  :happy2:

We always tend to travel in the middle of the night so that can be quieter too  :smiley:
