I tend to agree with you Barry.  However,  Lets not count any chickens yet. :-)

Any more recent insight into this?  I'm flying on miles and would like to get it sorted ASAP.  Coach award seats are already gone on my preferred flight for the possible 12/13 dates.  ::)

No news on any of the sources I use.

Did find return ferry crossing yesterday.

Norfolk Line Dover to Dunkirk £41 return :: Out Weds 9th June & Back Mon 14th June.

Very tempted to book it.

Landman

I think that the Dover Dunkirk route is unlikely to go up much if at all, I paid less than £30 one way this year booked in Feb (or there abouts), return wasnt much more. Even just weeks before the price hadnt increased.

Good route though if a bit further up the autoroute.

Well, I booked my airfare anticipating the 12th-13th race date.  This ought to ensure that it's the following weekend, so I recommend making your bookings based on that.  ;D

Isn't also time already to look into flights to Orlando next year march? ;) And what are the appropriate dates for that?

I've been checking on those fares for a while now.  ;D

The Sebring race date is March 20th.  Tickets are already on sale at http://www.sebringraceway.com/12hr_tickets.lasso

Prices are up AGAIN this year.  $100 for the 4-day and $25 per car for parking/camping.

I said it last year, and I will say it again this year. The best time to book flights to Orlando for Sebring is in November when BA and Virgin have their sales. It has been like this for the last four years.

Normally sub £300 from Gatwick.

Pay attention at the back...

Stu has a contact at BA so if anyone has specific dates they'd like to check now, he can usually get the best available.  BA are selling flights rediculously cheap so I don't know what the likelyhood is of them falling further.  I guess it wont hurt to hold out 'til November.  We're flying out to Orlando in September for 2 weeks for £235 each!

Will we have any Melans going to Sebring?

I wont be there next year, not sure about the other Melans.  We shall see.  I have a lot of home improvements to spend money on over the next 6-12 months extending Maison Melans...  It's only the fact that our US trip in September is working out at less than a trip to Spain that we're venturing to the US at all...  One day we'll make Sebring!  Stuart really wants to go as well.

Vic, going out on 13th, coming back on 27th is what I'm looking at at the moment. Would cost 460 quid right now. from Schiphol it would be 480 euro's though, which is cheaper.

There are a few hospitality firms selling places for the 12/13th Weekend.

None of the dover calais companies of Portsmouth routes are selling their spaces yet.
Take life by the horns and live it.
