It's £500 for the week roughly

I don't play it on games so don't know the track that well and would often find myself thinking I knew where I was only to find out I had no idea It's alot less forgiving than the gp track in terms of run off areas hence why I cut loose a bit more on the gp track than the ring

Playing it on Forza deffo made my knowledge a lot better, I don't care what they say on Northloop it does make a difference.

my knowledge would have been better because i played it on Forza and i used a force feedback wheel and pedals.
You wont get the same effect playing it on GT5 though as it isnt a SIM

GT5s ring with a wheel is very realistic and will help a lot. Steve you biased homosexual.

I think there isn't much between them in all honesty Butler.
And considering that Forza 3 is a couple years old now and doesn't have the luxuary of being in production for the plast 10 years either.

It would be £500 minimum just for fuel alone surely??? You'll have accomodation then food/drink on top.

i managed on 500 quid last trip even less the time before
that got me about 8 laps of the ring, gp session, food and drink, fuel and accomodation!
however we are sensible as a group and dont go mad on the lash every night and each put cash in a pot and go shopping at Netto.
We do go out some nights to eat though
Might be a bit more for you as your car is thirstier too

The vid look brilliant but it amazes me what kind of traffic your likely to spot out there 2:15 in and you come over a hill about 70+mph and a flat bed lorry is just casually driving along at 55mph, imagine passing someone at that moment in time

Plus the ferry/euro tunnel is right on your door step
We've got a 7hr drive just to get that far

on one of my laps in fact this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsFoMWf6eMk
coming down flugplatz about 2:40 into that vid doing 125ish, suddenly come round that bend that graham crashed on and there road works narrowed right down
that was my fastest lap aswell, my sub 10 mins, would liked to have known my time if it wasnt for them roadworks would have been a few seconds quicker
