Hi,
I have already run this through a few people I know here, but just throwing this out there for interest.
There are now 8 people, 5 from this forum going out on Sunday September the 13th, via the tunnel and a long leisurely cruise down to an English owned hotel on the borders of Bordeaux and cognac, most are there for 4 nights, and most departing back for home on Thursday morning of the 17th. This is very much a social trip, good banter, fine eating, drinking and visiting local sites trip, this is not my party, but I have been invited along, with between the itinerary of timed things, lots of visiting out to local sites, but on the Tuesday 15th, we have already paid and secured the circuit de haute solely for our use, link below
Circuit de Haute Saintonge | Track Reviewers
The cars going within our group, Porsche 911, Jaguar Xf, BMW 335, 2 xSL55, CLK63 BS, E55 or CLS55, E55 or SLK55, not sure on the other cars identity. We then return to the same circuit on the afternoon of Wednesday 16th for a full on karting competition on their 1.5KM kart circuit.
As you can see the track will be very much under used, especially on the Tuesday, a couple of the guys going, never tracked before, so lots of room to experiment, and take your time playing out there.
Anyone with any interest to this trip, get in touch, be thinking of around the £1400-1500 cost, inc: return tunnel trip, hotel, food, drink, trackday, karting afternoon and we estimate £500 of fuel within that cost.
I would add this is not a trip to upset the local gendarmerie en route, or smash and crash our cars on track, we all want to be driving home in our pride and joys afterwards.
4 of the guys going went on this trip last year, they spent £1400, with no karting, and the Euro is now very good for us at the moment, so maybe a few £s savings to be had over my quoted figures.
We are all happy to go with our established group of 8 no, its all already paid for, but bringing a couple of extra people onboard, will 1. help lessen the cost to us, and 2. also make sure the track gets a little more used, and 3 hopefully a little more evening banter.
Should anyone be interested, please get back to me.
Regards

Along with the committed 8 no. going, there is another pondering on business commitments, so maybe a 9th, the tunnel from an enquiry yesterday, still has a few spaces available on our train out, and the hotel whilst currently geared for individual rooms, of which one is available, can alter and accommodated twin rooms, allowing further people.
