Not that much, but 19% vat and crap £ to € rate.
21€ a lap x 14 = £250
1.5€ a ltr of fuel = £450
4 nights b&b double = £300
Ferry = £50
That leaves £350 for 5 days food and drink for 2 people + any other little extra's etc.

I've been to gatebil and I'd rather go to the ring. Gatebil's nice if you'd like to stand and watch mental cars go around a track. And then there's the girls but for driving? noo..
