A bit slow putting this up (a bit like the lap really) but here is lap from the trip in Feb:

Sweet.

The track looked empty. Open pit lane?

[Cavetroll87]

Looked awesome mate

[Godzilla]

Thanks, no Kwacky it was sessioned .

(Although people were not exactly sticking to their own session lol.)

Looks great. Would love to do one of these one year.

[Godzilla]

It was fantastic Duke, I would love to go again sometime

[duke63]

In the past when i have finished a trackday, i always feel after thinking about the day that i want to go again the next day to put into practise what i have learned that day.

[Kwacky]

I need to do a Euro track event like this. If I start to badger Mrs Kwacky now she might give in before I retire.

[D6Nutz]

It's my 40'th next year so I'm very seriously considering a euro track day as my present to myself.. It does seem that Cartegena is popular, it's also at the right time of year..

I do want to do a couple of track days this year though. I really want to learn proper body position, and a track with a tutor is the only place for that kind of thing..

[Kwacky]

If you're serious about doing one early next year I'll get to work on Mrs Kwacky.

[D6Nutz]

I need to work out costs and feasibility, I've already mentioned it to Mrs Nutz and have got an all clear.. There are a couple of restrictions on dates, but apart from that. It would be good to know if there are others going as well, it wouldn't be the same by myself.

@Godzilla - Roughly how much do you think these trips cost, all in ???

[Frankie]

Nice Vid mate enjoyed that, lovely track that one.

I would book up a trip for early next year!

In regards to costs, the rough breakdown of when I done Aragon last year
£600 for trip (track costs, bike transport, hotel)
£160 flights
£60 car hire (could share if theres a few though)
Approx £100-£120 on fuel
£250 tires - I went through 2 rears (but that was down to bad suspension and and a reasonably old bike)
Then your food and drink on top

Roughly, £1000-£1200 all in I reckon

[Kwacky]

That sounds expensive but it's easy to put £100 aside each month.

I'm very interested.

@Godzilla - Roughly how much do you think these trips cost, all in ???

Then your food and drink on top

That could get expensive...

Actually that doesn't sound too bad, as you say Kwacky its just tucking a £100 a month away.. Need to put some serious thought into it..

Thats a pretty good estimate. My trip was £469 for 4 days on track.
£120 flights.
Shared a hire car.
I didnt add up the fuel, but maybe a bit less. Cartegena is a lower speed track.
Tyres - same here, 2 rears and a front, but still some left in the rear I put on whilst there.

I can feel a Tankslap Euro rip coming on

[Kwacky]

Right, I've got permission.

That was so easy she's either shagging someone else or she wants her own trip away. Either way who cares?

[Frankie]

Ha ha
