Me, Mark and Alex were just talking about a trip to the ring earlier tonight.

We'd just about decided that with various things happening next year we'd probably have to wait until the year after and then you post this Si

Dependant on cost us me, Mark and Alex will definately be showing an interest

It cost as a round figure for me and my missus, £800.
That was;
fuel loads (from Essex)
hotel 3 nights B&B
food loads
ring tickets (12)
drink a bit
tunnel x 1
Extra costs to consider;
brake pads x 1 set
tyres if new OK if not you MAY need to replace when returning

If you go with mates, then you can obviously divide that cost between how many is in the car .

I think that is the worse case scenario that Chris quoted, as it only cost me £700 including all spending money, fuel, B&B, RAC cover etc.

The overnight costs are peanuts . Works out at £18 a night each (based on two sharing), so WTF are you on about? . The expensive thing is the crossing, the amount of fuel you use while out there razzing around the track and spending money (for the alchoholics anyway ) .
