Well before you worry about that you need to figure out who actually wants to help organise it, Its alot of work and will take up alot of hours in your spare time - BUT - If done correctly and as a team it wont be hard.

If we can all settle on a date, 17th is when GTI Joe is going i think then thats a start, could start a new thread and get some names of who can drive and who will need to buddy up with some one.
To be fair i am not too bothered about sleeping, i will sleep in my car if it comes to it. But as you say tenting it is always an option

BUT that'll mean febuary before you can set a date.. :) So maybe this year, rather than going international to nurburgring just around england, Say - starting off somewhere daan saaf travel up through the midlands (taking in all hill scenery!) through the north stopping somewhere in the lake district. Would be easier to arrange and get the run noticed in the community - and it'd mean that if its decided to do again next year the names already established so you can afford the extra few months it takes to set the date.

Could work that way (staying in the UK), I think all the way round might be too much, are there any race tracks in or near cornwall? I've always liked the idea of Newquay, but you know the nearest place to us without a speed limit is the Isle Of Man...

It only has no speed limit because by the time you speed up you gotta brake before u hit the sea :P

Well how about gettin some suggested routes sorted out, then sticking up a poll to see which one people prefer?

I'd suggest a variety of them based in the UK.. eg:

Edinburgh -> newcastle/sunderland -> middlesburgh -> Leeds -> Nottingham -> Donnington race track

Although that may be a pain for most people to get to the start!. So i guess it'd be best of starting in the midlands? But then you got the difficult question of finding a decent ending point... Possibly a slightly more scenic route heading starting in the midlands, heading up north via west coast to the lake district, stop the night in the lake district (Plenty of photo ops for nice cars n nice scenery!) then back down south via the east coast to the leicster to donnington race track (Or another decent track with track days!)

Another possible idea would be to start it off up north somewhere, working our way down to bugjam!.
