Only thing you've missed out is the new exhaust cost. :)

Is that because you are buying Exige wheels and tyres that you don't need ?

I have booked it, but haven't even thought about it yet, I still have things to do for the Spa and Zolder trip, living a week to week life right now, just too much on.

I think my plan would be to turn up late to Zandvoort, off the Newcastle ferry, then head to Zolder. Ferry back Rotterdam to hull.

Ferry gets in at 0930
so - Zandvoort at 1030.

Heres what Paul Golding said to me.
" Hi David

If you’re experienced or been to zandy before then 10.30 will only cost u 1 hr track time so not an issue

However, id be inclined to come night before – stay in zandy – do zandvoort properly – then get a boat home after zolder – even if u have to leave zolder earlier"


Might get the ferry on Sat night & have a night in Amsterdam on Sunday

Difficult to compare static with drive by.

Flat out all day, no noise issues. Closed the valve, and used 5th at the two meters, was almost at the rev limiter anyway, so lost nothing.
