One of the great advantages of living in Europe - stuff like this is a couple of days drive away.

Worth also booking for the Ring Taxi. Might get lucky and go for a cruise with Sabina. ;)

Make sure you book early as they are always booked out on the day (a mate was there on Friday for the day and couldnt get a ride in a Ring Taxi).

You will love it, just keep off the armco. :clap:

didnt the guys from topgear drive through the swiss and Italian alps with their Aston Martin, Lamborghini and ferrari ? now that would be a trip...perhaps next time ;)

Well considering when I left the UK in Feb petrol was about 1.10 (pound) a litre which equates to about $2.50 atm. ide say it were.

But is it worth it ? HELL YEH ! dont forget the Vids though.....I cant wait

[Astra VXD]

yeah am soo looking forward to it but saying that am even more excited about my trip next year :)!!

but yeah should cost me probs about £200 in fuel ($511)

but i'm taking about £600 ($1533) with me so that will cover hotel, ferries, laps on the ring and beer and food and some more beer :D

Steve

fark... pretty pricey!

its not bad considering it will take you nearly 10min to complete one lap... i thought it would have been more expensive than that personally...

fyi, eastern creek costs $300 for 5 laps

[WoundWowfanAU]

Thats Awsome! :)

I would like to do that and the Autobahn..... :)

[bornwild]

Autobahn is speedlimited...contrary to popular belief. It's not speed capped when there is no traffic...and only a section of it, which I don't think VXD will see

but saying that i don't take the car about 110mph with the kit on the car.
