When: September 8-10 inclusive
Where: European Ford Event, Landgraaf, Holland
How much: £135 per person



Organised by the XR/RS Club of Holland, the European Ford Event is the number-one show for Ford enthusiasts living on mainland Europe. Like a slightly scaled-down Ford Fair, the show is jam-packed with Fords from all over Europe and in styles seldom seen in the UK, including some classic Euro-lookers. With big club attendances, plus a drag strip and handling course to try your car out on, it's a cracker of a show. Plus the Nurburgring is only an hour-and-a-half's drive away! A few Brits in-the-know have been going over to the show for years, but now it's your turn!



We've put together a discounted package in conjunction with Continental Car Tours to take you, your car and your mates over to Holland in September. The price includes 2 nights accommodation at a three-star hotel in nearby Heerlen and return Dover-Calais ferry - the show's about three hours' drive from Calais.



How Much?
Just £135 per person based on two people sharing a car.
Price includes:
Return Dover-Calais ferry, and two nights accommodation in a three-star hotel

Entry to the show will be 12-13 Euros (approx £8.50)

Any ideas on whens the latest this can be booked?

RSwagoneer

I could be wrong, but the formula 1 hotel is in Kerkrade. Not in Heerlen.
F1 hotel is about a 10 min drive of the centre of Heerlen where there are load of cafe's for some nightlife action
A 30 min drive would bring you to Maastricht which centre has also lot's of places for some entertainment.
And a added bonus is that the F1 hotel is just / or less then 5 min drive to the Megaland .

Wiebe,
This is the correct link to your videofile:

http://s199.photobucket.com/albums/a...ent=efe062.flv

320Bhp sierra <=> 720Bhp escort
-------6.38 sec <=> 6.08 sec------

Only 4 cars could manage a sub 7 sec. run. The Escort though could see EASILY a sub 6 sec. run, but he was just 'playing' with the other cars..

Not bad!

Bit of a dumb question but is it a 3 day show, or just a 1 day? If so is Sunday going to be the main day and what will happen on Saturday and Monday?

cheers

YBJ

No dumb question at all

Yes, its only at Sunday the ford meeting at Landgraaf in Holland. But many do a trip on Saturday to the Nurburgring. Its only a 90 miles drive from Nurburgring to Landgraaf.

reisskahn

Cheers for the info YBJ... Could also pls tell does the Nurburgring be open all day and night or what are timings to go onto the track?

cheers
