Alright JJ

Yes its Grand Sambuc on Friday 26th - although it sounds like it might be one of these closed circuits with the paddock in the middle of the track as we all have to arrive and leave together.

Would be good to get a catch up

Everything being ok I'm planing to head for the Ring (or Spa if raining on Sunday) from Grand Sambuc on the Friday afternoon.

Going to go via Stelvio as I've never been over that pass and that just keeps me out of Switzerland

but has anyone got some recommendations for other passes (better?) than Stelvio that are on this general route...

Craig can sort out the bacon rolls for everyone then!

I'm ok to leave earlier. Ali will be leaving early as well I guess so that he can get his service done.

Frank, I think Passo di Rombo isn't too far from Stelvio either...might be the link between Austria and Italy? It was fun on our 1999 trip (!)

When Scotty turned up with his van full of tyres/wheels - i did think - I've got to get a car in there also!!!!!!!!!!

I should've offered to drive the van for him - extra capacity for everyone

Frank,

Here's a route I was planning last year for this year's trip.

Google Map

Let me know if it doesn't work - I'm not 100% sure the map is visible to all.

TIP: click on Switzerland

Cheers,
Robin

Did not realise just how close it all was to the folks place in Ventoux this year

Nice one Robin,

I'll use part of that "ring road", last time I was in Switzerland the cops had sniffer dogs in my car ffs.
