Not much of a selection but it is open most Sundays though.

I know it was pretty busy last Easter but I don't think that really stopped the enjoyment.

Usually meet at Maidstone services for the boat at 14:00, get to the hotel about 19:00.

Plus I have another 4+ hours to drive to maidstone first.

Sounds like quite a day then. I've always fancied a trip on the euro train that can carry cars.

We went on that last year to France, 30 mins and your in there. Works out expensive though, prefer to go by boat really, you have a longer rest before the driving starts again :)

Your more than welcome to join us, whether in your focus of a lex.

[Unregistered_User]

Believe me I'm tempted but the poor little Focus would struggle to keep up - maybe next year. It would be great. In the mean time, I'll just have to settle for photographs and video footage!

Do many of you go on the track then or are you spectators?

Everyone went on the track the past 2 times we have been. Can't see the point in driving the 400miles over there and then not go on it. Even if its just at a snails pace with cruise control set to 60 ;)

[Unregistered_User]

Admittedly I agree. However, I've heard endless stories of damage which must worry those that go on the track.

How do you find the wear and tear on the cars?

If your car is in good condition and maintained properly you'll have no problems. You just put the risk of crashing to the back of your mind, its not all about going the fastest its about enjoying the track and weekend.

The only damage I had last time, was on my front spoiler, scraping the tops of the curbs and a curbed alloy but that was my own fault really

[Unregistered_User]

I suppose so, but you really do have to be careful as it's so easy to loose your pride and joy.

J

I was speaking to a chap at the Trafford Centre who owned a Porsche and he had just got back from the Nurburgring circuit and he had more or less survived but he too had curbed a rim.

He was telling me that when he was coming back through France, he skidded off on a roundabout and damaged the whole of the passenger side. Panel beater and respray jobby. Ooooch!
