I'd go for May again too, the weather was incredible. Any reason we went weekend after the bank holiday - guess it was when the track was open the most?

Play it on the playstation before you go, Mongo did a couple of thousands laps on the PS2 before he went, and was an instant legend when he arrived, he was giving me tips on our first drive round, and it was my 50th or so lap as driver/passenger at the time and he'd never been before

Why is it I can imagine another ring trip spent staring at an emerald mapping screen in an old red ford, and ending up travel sick for half the drive over?
(still at least it was appreciated last time by the sounds of Jim's opinion on me coming to this trip)

Ginge, probably will be bringing my clan.
Will be staying at the same hotel as last year. It was a few miles away and more expensive but the chicks dig it.
Centreparcs could be fun though and I am planning on staying a bit longer than 3 days this next trip so maybe something to consider. I cant have steak on a stone every night for dinner there though!!!!
Sure I will have plenty of room in whichever bus I take for a small one.

Yay. You like UK track days, the Ring is like a bigger and better version of them. More social, better cars, amazing place.
The more the merrier
Good news Rick. Not sure why we landed up on German Bank hol weekend, it was busy wasn't it! Weather was ace by then (although I guess that was pure luck)
Deffo reckon track opening hours had a lot to do with it - that is the most important bit I think.
Good man, proper enthusiast response
Take either, you will DEFFO love it. There's good reason why I have been there 4 times in the last 3 years.
A fair idea and the option is there if you want it, be a pleasure to take Maria rather than Chip, as it means his digital SLR will be taking photies of my car from the bath tub, with a hot blonde in it 
Great idea IMHO
Can take you home as well, the Evo likes to drive itself home as well as there (unlike the Cossie then, although now I've probably jinxed it!)
Sounds like a good crowd planning on going already - who else is going then?
Si
