The track day on the June trip is the F1 circuit at Magny Cour - the whole tracks been hired just for Eurothrash!

Theres a ring trip planned for sept

Not sure if I wanna drive or be a passenger yet in June but an open pit at Magny Cour is well tempting!

I know theres a checkpoint in Monaco and thats about it ha ha - gonna be amazing though! Probably best to take something reliable like a Golf

Its maximum eagle regulation size so it's cool

That 'shonky' motor in the pic is the only car that didnt break down or need attention on the last trip! 2000 miles of constant, foot to the floor, red line abuse!

If you get your deposit in before the end of Feb, then although Ł872.50 per
person might sound like a lot, it really isn't. This gives you the chance to
take your car on the Mgny-Cours Grand Prix circuit, party in the South of
France, eat out in Barcelona and arrive back in the UK aboard a Ł100 million
luxury cruise ship. All hotels are 3 and 4 star, include evening meals as
well as breakfast in almost all cases and unless you've got Ł4.5K to spend
on the Cannonballrun Europe, then this is as close to a huge mobile party as
you're likely to ever get. No expense has been spared or compromise been
made to ensure this is an experience of a lifetime for anyone who comes
along, and as all the money made on the trips goes into making the next one
even more exciting, you know this is not just a bunch of people jumping on
the Gumball bandwagon, but a group of people who love what they do and want
to see as many petrol-heads taking part as possible.

Yeah - no mis-fire from me though, waited til i got back to England for that - Literrally! (was just a loose spark plug though, not my black that was cracked ha ha ha ha!)

The earlier you pay the cheaper it is I think - the price structures on the site.

Copy & paste - sounds like James's words am I right?!

Without warning the road turned to loose gravel, saw Mark brake but by then it was too late, 380bhp+ of RWD Saff Cossie was all over the shop, I couldnt brake too hard cos I wasn't confident about keeping it under control (TVR Tuscan AP's on the front, at least 330mm so very sharp braking), but I managed to keep it under control and not enter the fields on day 1! The windscreen was chipped all over the shop and the fresh paint on the front was ruined! Turned to see Restalls reaction (the owner) thinking I would see a face of thunder and he was actually impressed with my car control, top man wouldnt go as far as saying he was happy though

Mark can tell you all about it, he could see what was happening in his rear view mirror

Further info (hoping for a discount now)

'Everything has to be paid in full by mid May, so get your Ł50 deposit in now
and you've still got 5 months to sort out everything in between.

We have now just secured one car magazine to come along and cover the whole trip and are expecting to sign another within a couple of weeks.'
