get well soon, Rick  Mark, if you're in Holland by then you can simply drive along with us, no problem! We'll be leaving Saturday morning early to arrive in time for the free practise of 10.25. Should be about a 3,5 hour drive from Rotterdam or Nieuwegein, same mileage. We'll sleep at the camping site in the large Gazebo, and leave straight after the race. Let's keep in touch! |

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Smokie; we as DfH are debating what to do at the moment, aparently some would like to stay the night in Aachen - I don't. I don't want to wake up Sunday at nine having to drive an hour to the circuit. So we might split the group, and me probably some more will stay at the camping circuit hgb has pointed out. Also more fair to JPChenet, he'll want to see the race too, not drive all the way to stay in some hotel at Toyota Allee...
Will let know how it ends, I'll be staying at the camping site for sure!

Since I'll be going with Paddy I'll sleep near the track  No fun going to a hotel anyways if you are to return to the circuit in the early morning again. |

I've mailed the campsite to book for Saturday, also asked hgb to call them as I have had no reply. So I will be there too, with a mate who has never been racing before.

Apparently there's a bar with Veltins beer from the tap on the campsite and they have music during the 1000km weekend. Also on the campsite is a Mini-Meeting, as they're doing the Brands Hatch to Nürburgring Run. ( www.theminiforum.co.uk) Prices are: € 10 per person per day. Electricity: Connection € 3 once Use of power € 2 per day Arrival on Friday night will be counted as 1 day. So friday night arrival and sunday night departure = 3 days. |

I am still hoping to go. Work have said no but that is depending on one of three things. 1- If we finish all the work early. 2- I can get Monday off. 3- I quit!!!  |

The fourth thing being...whether there is space in the car! Would also need to sort hotel bookings etc as these are all now done for John and I. Car failed it's MOT yesterday (bulging tyre) - retest happening Wed... Two tyres = £200+. Also recommended 4 way laser tracking. I can tell it's gonna be an expensive week.... |

I called the Müllenbach camping site this morning. Smokie's booking is confirmed and there's still plenty of room available. The Mini guys will be on the same camping site. The weather forecast looks splendid. |

Shouldn't be a problem by the looks of it. The weather forecast looks splendid. Oooohh yesss, cool beer awaits us  Couldn't get any worse then Silverstone anyway, unless you'd have something like in Louisiana today |
