I guess until France and Germany are in our green zone there will be opportunity ti travel there. Makes it impossible to book in advance, unless someone can suggest an alternative. I can only go in school holiday times as that coincides when my wife is off work.

Was looking forward to going this year, especially as my wife has decided she needs to have a drive round as well.

I've been trying to go back since the end of 2018 when my engine developed a fault nearby.

Spent 2019 getting the car fixed up, and planned to go back in 2020 - but that, er, didn't happen - and I'm now waiting for news so that I can go back. But am expecting to pay premium rates for ferry/tunnel/accommodation.

If you're planning on doing it in school holidays, then you'll have to be expecting even higher rates than I do, as I can go any time (usually Wed to Wed).

We went for the first time last year in our Golf 7.5r.

Fitted with bilstein coilovers, it was a brilliant tool to enjoy the three tracks we did in 3 days - Spa, Nordschleife and the Nurbugring F1 circuit.

Dying to take our Cayman round there for a blast.

Track days seem to be circa £500. I expect places to be in short supply when we can get there.
