OK Here we go this is more less it. Just need to find a few hotels.

2nd may sunday Leave dublin fast ferry 1.30pm
arrive holyhead 3pm
4 to 5 hour spin to get as near Dover as possible stay overnight.
Monday boat early Dover Cailias 4 hour spin to the ring.
Maybe get track time monday evening.
Tuesday Take a drive around the area for the day.
Back to the ring 5pm for a few laps
Wednesday at the track all day.
Thursday leave for cailias to dover ferry
Friday holyhead to dublin

Cost:
Boats return 270 euro
Boat and tunnel 340 return.

I'd say with hotels, food, fuel laps of the ring YOu are looking at about 1,000 euro max.

List of definites:

1) Stig & J Leamy

Thanks for the major input Ivan - this trip is looking good!

Couple of things to address -
I'll probably do the chunnel for the experience but as discussed on the phone, We'll hook up at calais anyways.

My Co-pilot has to work until Sunday evening that Bank Holiday. Can we try to cater for this somehow?

And yes JohnC, It's great Ivans in charge of this, so when it goes arseways, we can all spit at his porsche

He could fly out and meet us there on monday? 30 euro with ryanair
50 miles from the track

We are leaving late enough on the sunday but thats because of the fast ferry time

Or .. fly to Gatwick on Monday early .. cheaper flight €26. Stig could pick him up if you guys are driving by the way from your hotel

Flight to Germany is working out €80

[Stig]

No need, John's in!

It's all sorted.

Sounds good, I'M in. Does the return boat from Callias or Chunnel have to be booked in advance or can you just turn up. Reason I ask is if I'm going to Autolink for hardtop I may leave the Ring a day earlier,and catch up with you for return across uk

[Ivan]

I would think so.

I'd say so,@ peak times the chunnel leaves 3 times and hour. We'll find out for ya.
