Ferte Gaucher and Folembray double header in March?

Post by robin » Tue Nov 04, 2008 10:15 am

Looks like it could be a good wheeze if anybody fancies it, I might be persuaded to go - perhaps someone wants to co-drive, which is deffo loads cheaper than taking two cars!

Cost for the tracks and hotels is 235 all in. Would need a crossing on top of that - am guessing 150 quid ish for that. Plus 1,500 miles or so - say 200 quid in fuel. So about 600-700 per car or 300-350 per person for those sharing cars.

You cannot tell what the weather will be like, and no obvious UK circuits to hook up with en route, Donkey Punch stylee, but Folembray was good and this new (to LoT) circuit looks pretty fast if a little flat.

Cheers,
Robin

tempting. very tempting.


I'd need to choose between this trip, and the oulton/anglesey double header, as i probably dont have enough holidays to do both

Yes saw this the other day too and thought it might be an idea ~did point it out to Lachlan this evening although that was before I saw this thread :D :D
Do's anyone know what the weather's like in France @ that time of year?

I've just booked the OP/Anglesey Coastal double header in Feb - I don't think I'll be going to this in March now. Weather in that area of France is not so different from weather in the south east of England - so it could be anything from sunshine to snow :-)

Cheers,
