Is anyone here going must for this trackday alone?

I'm thinking about it - just trying to get the man maths to add up...

I'm sure if you mentioned it to Paul he'd be OK and there's always the chance of getting on at Zandvoort if there are any breakdowns or crashes. Worth it even for an afternoon at Zandy.

Booked. BigD, do you want me to book the ferry/cabin as per Spa?

[DDtB]

Booked!

Happy to share a cabin on a ferry or whatever too....

BTW, is accommodation included - it looks like it should be based on the "great escape style" huts in the middle of the track - but not sure that is actually part of this deal? For Zandvoort we have used the big hotel at the track (NH is it?).

For ferry users I think the itinerary is:

Tue 9/8 Newcastle->Ijmuiden (arrive 10/8)
Wed 10/8 Ijmuiden->Bilsterberg, hotel/prison hut at Bilsterberg.
Thu 11/8 on track at Bilsterberg, then drive to Zandvoort.
Fri 12/8 Zandvoort track day, Amsterdam for the night, stay in Amsterdam (Or, if the weather is nice, stay in Zandvoort and have a day on the beach).
Sat 13/8 Ijmuiden->Newcastle (arrive 14/8)
Sun 14/8 Newcastle->Home

Is that what people are thinking - any input on hotels (esp. if the plan is Amsterdam) appreciated.

That's me booked. Will see if there's a reserve list for Zandy otherwise it'll be more time in the bar

Fear not... I'll be in the shed so the chances of it lasting both days are slim

I think the 'huts' are actually garages, kinda like a distributed pit lane.

Partner hotel looks posh:

That looks very nice

BB booked. Newcastle ferry out booked. Was showing as second reserve for Zandy but emailed Paul and he has confirmed I have a place.
Question now is do I do a second Zandy day on the Saturday with BookaTrack and return Rotterdam Hull on Saturday night. Anyone else tempted?

Ooft, Blister Burger in a Zandvoort bun!

Ferry booked - ended up with a 4-berth cabin & 3 cars, 1140 quids ... looking to be fully booked and getting more expensive by the day, so don't dilly dally - if you're booking the ferry, book it now!

Cheers,
Robin
