We're planning to head over on the Thursday, get there by Good Friday morning, spend Fri/Sat/Sun on the track, then head home gently on Monday.
I dunno quite how the costs work out from the UK side as I get the ferry to my nearest French port (St Malo), then drive across Europe to the Ring, but I think the costs would be broadly similar, but maybe a little less from the UK.
It costs about

Hi Ben,
I'm already going to the 'Ring at Easter, so I'll hopefully see you there. It'll be the second time I've taken the S2000 - the last was August on the 40 degree weekend!
For anyone thinking about going, you have to do it! You will not regret it - its got to be one of the best pieces of tarmac in the world! It would be really cool to have decent sized group of S2000's there.

well kinda... braked to avoid a cat crossing the road. Back end flipped. front met what i though was a concrete post - but checking at the incident site - showed to be a tree, which redesigned the front wing. Upside is my washer jets are now color cordinated...
then.. bad luck.. I take it it wasn't black? good to hear you got some red jets though.. I'd like mine done but can't justify the expense.

no, i couldn't see that low down!
the jets are free. Gave the chap a quick bit of work related advice in exchange. you want yours? I can ask how much it will be - i guess paint is the largest cost, but if enough of same color were to be done. Think i may even get the front grills done too on mine.

hmm.. not sure about the grilles myself, I think I'd have to see some painted first.
I might be interested in the jets - I take they are sprayed in situ then if theres not much to it?
