Camp in the circuit. Houx Annexe or Le Houx

Or you could go with the MK1 club, they do an annual trip out there and stay in a chateau, which is nice, if a bit far from the action and the partying.

Quite, bit late given its April now and they tend to be booked up by December though ;) Best bet would be to look on Ebay or somewhere like Club Arnage (if its still going!) near the time and hope to pick up some tickets. Could be interesting trying to find a ferry crossing now too.

Last went a couple of years back (2005 I think?) and I'm doubt I'll go back, taken over by chavs imo. Which is a shame as it used to be a great event.

The classic might be worth a look though.

Mark managed to procure me a ticket a month before the event, for camping in Houx Annexe.

That was in 2002 though.

I would like to go back again at some point, haven't been since 2003 though, can't believe that was 5 years ago. :aghast:

Mind you i do prefer to drive the Ring and Spa. :+:

You mean the Nurburgring. :tongue:

We have been a few times. Not really an 'IMOC' trip per se, but the enthusiasts amongst us have been a few times.

Would like to go this year after not being able to do the usual Spa & Ring trip last year. Not sure if its going to happen though.

What I would say is, get a few more trackdays under your belt before taking on the Nurburgring as its not for the feint hearted or inexperienced. I've just seen too many people getting carried away and finding themselves considerably lighter in the wallet as a result.

Its petrolhead mecca though so essential to make the pilgrimage. :+:

Spa is stonking too. Went there 5 years running, just love that place. Much easier to learn than the Ring too. All said and done the Ring is the ultimate really.
