    Couple scary moments at the end!!!
    Excellent video!!!! That biker at the end wasn't hanging around!! - he (or she) was going seriously quickly!!!

    And if my eyes weren't deceiving me, there was a COACH going around the Ring - WTF!!

    Has anyone checked availability of the Taxis on the day? I'd be seriously interested in taking a trip in one of those and experiencing the Ring at it's best.

    There is a bus trip for 2 EUR

    the taxi... I think the front passanger should pay a higher percentage than the rear seat passengers IMO

    My routeplanner makes it a 1400 mile round trip..... I might catch a ferry from nearer home to cut a few 100 miles off the journey, or stay an extra day to make it feel a little more relaxed. Got it down to 1038 using Harwich - Hook of Holland route.

    That M5 certainly seemed to be a bit on the edge at times!! Seriously qucik drivers of both cars
    I have played the course that much on Forza motorsport even the 2nd half of teh track is starting to look familiar!!

    Ah, I see!! When they said there was a 'bus' I thought it would be something along the lines of a speedy people carrier. Like how they describe the M5 as a 'taxi'. I wasn't expecting a full size luxury coach!!! LOL

    it all sounds fantastic....be it by coach or taxi (taxi being my first choice )....

    The video looks cool..... was a little worried that the bloke had to ask if the porsche was 4x4 or not would kinda think it would make a difference on how he was driving even more so that its someone elses car....

    catch the ferry at about 8.00 ish next morning and arrive in calais about 9.30
    then spend the saturday traveling to the ring
    saturday nite at the ring camping or if you prefer hotel (i will be camping)
    then sunday or monday having a leisurely drive around the track
    then monday teatime head off home (i will be off to france and germany)
