A rare opportunity has come up for a couple of track days at Monza & Mugello in northern Italy on October 1st and 3rd respectively. Should also be a great road trip there and back.
I most certainly will be going....

Just had a look on google maps, and from where i am, to Monza. is 1200 milesfrown. So am thinking of meeting my car in Barcelona and driving onto Monza 680 miles smile. so much better and not so many mikes on car.
Would be an epic trip up, and have always wanted to drive Monza one of the fastest grand prix circuits, Would have to meet you guys there, but really fancy this.

We're unlikely to get a date at Zandvoort to tie in with our Spa dates this year. The Spa dates have moved forwards a couple of weeks, and it means they clashed with the Zandvoort Masters race meeting and the circuit is booked up solid around then.

That said, the Masters meeting has moved (as of this morning, according to Autosport) so I've fired off an email to see if that gives us any hope.

Mugello is a 3 hour drive south of Monza.

Its much further to monza for me than any of you, so no excuses lads! wink

About a 12 hour drive for me. That's a nice leisurely 2 day road trip. Quality.

Looking at the route again, I have a choice of driving through Monaco, or Turin, only 10 miles difference, never been to Turin, and Monaco, was too young to remember, Monaco would be a coastal road, decisions, decisions .

ps the way its going, I might need a lift.
