Ever wanted to do the Gumball - Speedball is the next best thing

[omg its aj]

Is that entry fee per-car or per-person?

[speedball]

The entry fee is per car

As stated you get your ferry crossings, all the stickers for your car, the final stage party, 2 embroidered speedball shirt, a welcome pack with everything you need to know and organise, route cards each day and other bits and pieces - these bits alone nearly equate to the entry fee

We will have a cameraman there documenting the event too so that a DVD of the event can be produced along with a profesional still photographer to take pictures of your car doing silly speeds on the track!

it's a nice thought, but i doubt i'd get past Amsterdam.......

[monzablue16v]

Me too Hardcor3! would be sooo cool but the fuel bill alone would be too much and they drive on the wrong side of the road!!!

I must say I am tempted! i just need a reliable car to do it in! 

[baz_the_man62]

same here.. somethin id love to do but the car and the petrol it guzzles would mean id never make it.

[speedball]

Petrol is obviously  the biggest expense - spare a thought for the bentley who took part last year £1400!!!

I would estimate for a GTI that fuel would be in the region of £600-£700, my skyline was £1000 but that is incredibly thirsty - so IRO £300/person for the whole trip.

Driving on the other side of the road is difficult for the first couple of miles but after that its fine - crossroads are...well fun!!! Just as a sneak preview in Amsterdam I am looking to have the meeting point at a comedy club in the Red light district (it is a safe place I have been reassured! - unlike SOHO and other areas in other countries)

Haven't had any entries from this site just yet - the entry form has no obligation but provides us with details to contact you to discuss any concerns you may have and information should you wish to confirm

I would love to do it but am on the bones of my ar*e and couldnt afford the fuel bills!

also if you supplied a mechanic in the pack then i might consider it

the reason i said that because i been on a tour down to Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours with the bmw boys all in our e30's.... about 5years ago.

it was the best thing i have ever done! and amongst 20 of us there was some who knew f**k all about cars and some who were professinals and loads who knew what was what etc....

no one broke down anyway had a few flat tyres country roads in france can get bit sh!t someareas.

i think a club the size of this one will easily be able to arrange something like leave on friday b back by sunday etc. that way only need one day off work.... or do it over a bank holiday starting on satda etc....

if theres enough interest i dnt mind helping out to arrange it.

[omg its aj]

If theres enough intrest seen as its only £275 per VEHICLE..


lets all just chip in, get a coach and do it
