    We'll be heading to the 'ring again at the end of June and then in October.

    You going for a track day at each circuit or just making a road trip out of it?

    Chances are will do Ring at least, in own or Ring taxi. Last time went round was few years back in an M3. Part of longer trip further into Europe, possibly Austria again. Hate the driving in Blighty to/from Eurotunnel but no other choice.

    You should look into the Hull crossing - far more enjoyable and no more expensive than the Eurotunnel when you factor in the extra fuel, snacks and stops.

    We only use the Eurotunnel when we need to get there or back in one go.

    Will look into Hull to Rotterdam. Not actually booked tunnel/ferry yet, just the hotels. Rosyth to Zeebrugge was great when it existed. Used a few times and Newcastle to Amsterdam once. That was a total booze cruise.

    We are heading to Italy, Lake Garda, at the beginning of August - a regular trip for us. We are on the Hull Rotterdam ferry this time since the Hull Zeebrugge is no more. Haven't done the Ring or Spa, not really track people, but a racing driver friend of ours has done both and MUCH prefers Spa these days.
