Yep went last Sept, my 197 was not as fast around the track as the 225 cup I had, but boy was it more fun :lol: could take the bends a lot harder and throw it around more, all I can say is go and enjoy.
Costed the trip from Newcastle to Amsterdam and it's £225 for return ferry, share a room with a mate on ferry and hotel room and it's £25 per night, then 600 miles fuel, plus £40 for 3 laps, then food and drinks on top.
£500 can do a cheap trip to the ring (no benders or 100 laps). Book in advance to save mucho moolar
If you are SERIOUSLY bored, there are some videos I put together of the whole trip i did with Saxperience in May 2007 (I was un-married then, so was allowed to go on these type of trips lol!) on my page here: http://www.michael-cracknell.co.uk/forums.htm
£700 -900 for fri to mon, sounds expensive until you break it down.
3 nights 4/5* hotel b&b, 8 laps included, ferry included & tuition. Also one included any UK trackday in the price so say £249/299 for say Donington or Silverstone GP.
Now add that lot up & it's getting reasonable.
Also the other members with party will have some very tasty toys that you can easily blag rides in
