[OzCarfreak]

Synopsis of the trip:

7 days in Europe with 6 supermodels (oh- supercars I mean!) and 8 fully prepared race cars at the world’s ultimate racetrack – Nurburgring!

Schedule:

Day 1, 17th June: Welcome dinner and drinks at Kent in the UK
Day 2, 18th June: Lenham to Dijon (7-8 hours with some motorway) – cross country through part of Champagne and Burgundy
Day 3, 19th June: Reims to Interlaken (7 hours with some motorway) – cross country to Geneva, around Lake Geneva and then into the mountains
Day 4, 20th June: Interlaken to Baden Baden (7 hours with some motorway) – To include some of the great Swiss passes before a stretch of motorway and then into the mountains as we come into Germany. Finish with a small stretch of autobahn.
Day 5, 21st June: Baden Baden to the Ring (3 hours on the motorway or 7 hours with some cross country) – the motorway route would include a chance to visit the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart in the morning
Day 6, 22nd June: Ring

Day 8, 24th June: Return to UK via motorway

Total days now will be seven, with 4 days to the Ring, and then back from the Ring in one day after our 2 days there. Our route will encompass some of the most amazing and picturesque driving in the world, including some of the world’s best driving roads.

We will end up crossing 5 or 6 countries- UK, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and (possibly) Luxembourg.

Accommodation:

Accommodation will be available in each of the city stops in shared, basic queen or executive style. As everyone has their preference, accommodation forms will be given out once your application is accepted and you will be able to choose your preference. As I have mentioned before, the aim of this trip is to drive some of the best cars in the world on the best roads in the world, so accommodation is completely up to you- do it in style or do it on a budget. The Hotels we will choose will be able to give you a preference.

Accommodation forms will be available once your expression of interest has been accepted.
