Hey all,

There are a few of us from the Noble forum heading over and just curious if there are any takers from up this way fancy joining the fun...

Plans are as follows...

Friday 7th - leave Aberdeen and catch Newcastle - Amsterdam ferry.

Sat 8th - Amsterdam to Nurburg/Adenau.

Sunday 9th - Full TF day at the Ring

Monday 10th - goldtrack day at Spa and the ring is open for evening TF session for a lap or two when we return.

Tuesday 11th - same as Monday's plan

Wednesday 12th - chill out day or do some sightseeing then evening session on the ring.

Thursday 13th - head back to the Uk.

The weather will be a little colder (not that it's warm now) but it will hopefully be quieter and regardless of weather be a great trip and two awesome tracks!

I could be up for this, finally someone has booked a jolly in the middle of my time off.

I'll see if I can round up some more folk.

I've not booked yet, will be booking at the end of the month once I've been paid, just putting my engine back in this weekend so will also make sure it runs before I book up track days and ferry too.

There's no deadline for booking, only the longer you leave the spa day bookings the less spaces there will be.

Just back from Holland via the Newcastle / Holland Ferry (family holiday!).....must admit the on/off the ferry was OK (incl spoiler height etc) but room on the ferry for the wifes A3 wasn't great!!!...saying that I really do fancy a trip to the ring!!!! would be great if 8+ would sign up though!

Hi Graham,

Are you still going to Spa in October? I'm off with a few TVR guys on 30th Sept for GT race weekend on 1st/2nd then 2 days track fun organised by Dulford Racing. They're running a Sag over the weekend and will have full tech support backup for track day......not that the Tiv's will need that!

That's still the plan Neil but not booked yet. Do you have a link to the trip details? I checked dulfords website but can't see anything.
cheers

Well that's me just booked to catch the ferry from Newcastle on Friday 8th, on the nurburgring Sunday 10th and the goldtrack day at spa on the 11th, ferry home on Tuesday 12th overnight.

Sadly staying for the full week, an extra day at spa and an extra 6 hours track time at the ring doubles the costs of the trip so I'm just doing one day at each track.

Ferry cost £229 through www.directferries.co.uk which was £100 less than booking direct with DFDS seaways.

Spa day £300 and 3 nights hotel was £220.

There are a handful of guys taking the tunnel from down south but I'm the only one doing the trek from up north, it's not too late to book if there's any other takers.

Will miss you by about a week, off across on the 14th with the same Ferry.
No track days unfortunately, South of France for hopefully some sun and nice roads instead.
