The Banana Republic Crew (stu, apw99, Chris and TeDeum) are booked on the overnight ferry from Rosslare to Cherbourg on June 21st and back on June 27th (except for Chris who is going on his hols). It's only 1180km from Cherbourg to Masserberg. We'll probably stop once for cake and coffee.

I Knew there'd be a catch, shall we book elsewhere?
Fine by me - we'll have to check the tourist dates when they're posted on the ring website, but an evening session could be on.
Matt - not impressed with the hotel in Amay. I never did get a reply directly from the hotel despite having contacted the owner direct. I haven't cancelled the booking yet, though, just in case!
Full dates fior the ring are not up on the website yet, but there is ADAC 24 hr racing from 23-26 June at Nordschleife. Most likely (to be confirmed) the ring will be open for tourist rides on the Monday evening. I'll keep checking the dates.
You'll be needing to know the track and what a better way than to do it but from on board a TDM.......HERE [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

My Tesco vouchers finally arrived and I have booked the same Tunnel crossing as you and Trevini. Just got my confirmation.
It's all coming together.
