Does BigD make it round a lap without refill?

Very Good.

Fuel is without doubt the most expensive bit about a ring trip. We did a couple last year and I intend on doing at leats the same this year. Will probably do FF7 and as Ali tag the ring on at the end. (It's on the way home anyway)

Rough costings for a Ring weekend:

Ferry - £300 (necastle or Rosyth) you can go the cheap way but that works out about the same when you factor in the fuel.

Digs for say 3 nights around £100. On top of that you have food and drink.

Fuel getting there and back £250 and same again for 15 laps of the Ring so £500. (I use a quarter of a tank per lap)

Ring tickets £163 for 15 lap ticket (2008 Prices gone up again

). Obviously if you do more laps then it costs more for the ticket and the fuel.

So I get that at roughly £1,063 for a long weekend with 15 laps (not alot). Still food and drink to add on.

I actually don't like adding it up as I prefer not to know.

I would be up for a long weekend doing Spa and Ring. Was at the ring a long time ago when it was 2 quid a lap. It was awesome.

If you just do Spa and it rains..which it usually does, even on a good day..well...I think you would be a bit disappointed.

Not sure how to edit the list...

Can I gatecrash? If so I might be up for either Spa or 'ring or preferably both. Going to the 'ring 5/6/7th May anyway, so might be up for another trip later in the year.

I'd love to go but I don't think I'd be ready for the ring, only ever done knockhill once

One major thing that you lot havn't factored into your expenses is the uber high costs of getting your car recovered to the uk if the worse should happen...just a thought
