Default The alternative to the ring trip!!!!

As Tonynutsrus mentioned how about a tour of British circuits starting or ending in Knockhill with a trackday at each circuit?????

I am sure @ Knockhill it works out at around Ł1600 for a four hour session. I am sure our local club can do a track night for Ł40-Ł50. Other circuits will be more expensive however there are some cheaper ones as well. We could do Knockhill, Croft , Oulton, Donno, Brands or any variation.

Do you also know how boring normal circuits are after having been to the Ring?

Thought not

Do YOU know how boring circuits are full stop

Was just a thought, not everyone would need to do the full hit, people could tag along and then drop out as they please.

I did a similar thing a while back with a car club and it was fun - and not that expensive

Yeah probably but as Tony states not everyone has a car that will make the journey ( I would hope mine would), some have to trailer there cars and others might not be allowed out of the country( you know who you are!!!)

A trip to the Ring is the way forward.

There is no alternative in my opinion.

Awesome holiday bringing Ford Nuts together for a good knees up and a fast drive.

Germany for me

What amazes me about the ring is how every year a new crew of people go over for their first experience and come back raving about it and are converted forever.

What an awesome place. Its about the second place I would drive after buying a decent car. First place to the R/R to get it checked out
