Which is the better of the show locations to go to,mantorp park or rudskogen motorpark,I'm looking to hopefully go to one this year,would love to drive over for the road trip but will just have to see how things go closer to the time

 

Rudskogen seems to be the main event in July, plus the track has also been revised. I'll be venturing over this year too if all goes to plan

 

Yeh I did think rudskogen seemed to be the more popular venue,I've looked on maps on my phone and got the rough routes and distances

 

Rudskogen is the biggest and most popular show, and whit the new track, who was finish a week before last july gatebil, it`s great. Been there every year since 96

 

Is the camping within the grounds of the track

 

It is by the track yes. Id suggest u stay on a hotel or something if you are venturing to race your car and not to get drunk.

 

No not going to race the car just going for the show to experience it all really,camping will be a laugh with a few beers aswell

 

Went to rudskogen about 5 years ago ,awesome weekend ,will be going again

 

How much is it roughly for the show and camping for all 3 days as can't really see anything on the gatebil site

 

Not sure if the price for this year are ready jet. I use to get ticket from Wurth at work, as they are sponsor of Rudskogen. I`m used to stay in tent or camper, drink some beers and have a look at cars and girls, alot of them lo

 

I would love to go to this.

 

I will have to have a word with our wurth rep at work next time he's in then see if I can get any info from him

 

Do that, think i only have paid in there two times, rest have been free from wurth. I got the latest Gatebil mag. in post yesterday, and the movie from last year was in it, hope i don`t see myself lo.

 

i would really like to go, how long does it take to travel there from uk?

 

Worth a try asking our rep at work I suppose but not sure I will have much luck here in the uk

 

It's roughly 1100 miles from Luton going by maps on my phone

 

Ferry from Newcastle still not back on then...sure there was talk of 2011/12 starting it up again.

Some of the guys on here left from Newcastle in 07 or 08 I think(when it stopped).
I know it's quicker but how long did it take from Newcastle to the track?

 

It`s more and more people from GB every year now, last year it xcwas some drifters there, whit a big truck, whit Evo`s and Impreza`s
Tommy Field, Martin Hadland and broom was over some years ago. Romain Oppliger, come from Italy whit his wrc escort last year, and will do it again. People from Romania, Holland, Finland, Sweden, America (not whit cars)Japan comes, so it`s just to get ready for a nice trip

 

We all waiting for these, to start up again, they work whit it.
From Bergen, it`s about 7hours to Rudskogen

 

I looked at the Newcastle ferry to stavenger I think it was and it was a 21 hour crossing,then another several hours driving the other side plus the drive from Luton to Newcastle,when I looked the Newcastle ferries only sailed Tuesday's and thursdays

 

Can you fly over..?

 

Of course, to Gardermoen and rent a car there, or get some pople over here to pick you up

 

Looked on maps again and it's about 1 1/2 hour drive from Oslo airport to rudskogen

 

Correct, it`s also an airport on Rygge, who are closer to Rudskogen.

 

I'm going to look into this...cheers mate.

 

Do that, and maybe we can take some beers there
Cheers

 

There's a group of us (5 so far) going with a little caravan this July to Rudskogen. So at least we have a portable shower and fridge to keep the beer nice and cool on campsite. Will innevitably get shit faced and hopefully sober up enough to race. Can't wait!

 

Yes certainly...many thanks.

 

fly drive for me then, do sleasy jet fly to oslo

 

This is definitely on my "to do" list. I won't make it this year, but maybe next . Hope the Newcastle ferry crossing starts again.

 

Oslo/ Gardermoen airport is your best bet, there are a couple of other small shit airports. But there is no public transport connection to the track so will either need rental car or arrange a lift with someone

 

See you there

 

Good man Can't wait, gonna be epic!

 

one of two left on the to do list

gatebil and sema show !!

looking at sema this year , poss gaebil the year after as id like to take the s1



beef

 

Which ferry port would you be going to

 

Will go there this year too, maybe..

Are there any hotesl near the track? If not, how far away are them?

 

theres a dfds ferry mate from tilbury-gothenburg sweden it is a freight boat though so look on thier website other than that there is a ryanair flight from manchester to (rygge) that is closer to rudskogen any other help pm me mate

 

i,m english but live in sweden b.t.w not far from the norweigan border

 

I think the best option for me if I drive is to go Dover to Calais then drive but then not sure on the other ferry crossing later in the journey or just drive through Denmark to Sweden then into norway

 

We'll be going from Harwich to Denmark, then driving from there. Its the closest at the moment we can get via ferry, since the Newcastle journey no longer exists

Can't wait anyway
