Cant wait.. :)

:hurrah::agreed::drive::drive::drive::drive: :drive:

So just so I can gauge things - how many Euro's do people take with them? I appreciate it depends how much booze, and food people eat, but on an average do people think €500 would be sufficient for 2 peoples food / drink / 3-4 laps of the ring / petrol for the whole trip? Or am I in fantasy land ??

Ryan :ok:

Think I took minimal Euros, just enough for food etc on the way down, I paid for all my fuel by card (I think that was the only option at the Belgian services) and just went to the cash point when needed. Think I spent a good £250 to £300 on fuel alone, it's about 1/4 of a tank per lap :)

Thanks Shane......In that case the extra cash put aside for map check e.t.c. might have to go towards fuel / spending money instead :-(

Good to know though :ok:

Fuel was the main cost after accommodation, once you're sitting at 90 to 100 on the Autobahns they drink fuel, I dread to think what Chris spent in his Type R with the low ratio 5th gear, saying that a newage STI has a 6 speed box so may be a little better on the run there and back. Think those that go as a couple budget about £1000 for the trip, I know there are some old threads somewhere that break the costs down.

That's ok - ill just do 40-50 mph on the autobahns and ill be fine :oldman::rofl::rofl:

Think i recall filling my tank in belguim and that got me to Germany in my type r then filling 2 more times in Germany .

Brimmed in Hastings, topped up on M20, Brimmed in Belgium, another tank of 102 in Adenau, again in Cochem and then probably again on the way home. Take the Audi and do it all on a single tank.

500 euros should be more
Than enough (excluding fuel and lap tickets!) :p

Ha Ha Ha - id love to take the Audi - quiet drive, economic, although its not really in the spirit of the SES Ring Trip ha ha...

Cool :ok:

On second thought Jackie will want cash for the room, 500 euro each is probably closer to the mark, (this is what we normally take and end up coming back with 200 or so)

Still excluding petrol and lap tickets!

Already paid for the hotel in full mate via bank transfer :ok:

Think of it this way 100-150 euro per day Ryan thats enough for fuel/laps/booze and amazing food with amazing company .

If you want to do 3-4 laps then buy a 4 lap ticket which is about 100 euro.

Spend as much as you like on food/drink. I reckon if you allocate enough to fill the car 4 or 5 times in total, you'll be about right (2 of these in Belgium on the out/return trip). If you get short of cash there's a cashpoint 5 mins up the road from the hotel where you can get more euros out.

Brilliant - thanks for all the replies gents :ok:

Ive not got a clue how much i need yet but i defo need a shell fuel tanker for the trip down lol .

Do we need octane booster ?or is there v power available
Just noticed it was on the ring check list

Sitting at 90-100 mph... is ok for a long period in a scoob ?
Sitting at 80 makes me twitch lol :)

I believe they run higher octane over the water :ok:
