Hello Mr 154th reserve :D

Cross boarder nationals in Kampenhout - now there's a good idea :cool:

I did! :D

lol :o

I was going with my mate but he didnt get the chance to register until 10 am so it looks like i will be travelling alone. I will have to meet up with some of you. I cant go to Belgium on my own. How sad is that! I will be travelling from Newcastle to Hull on the Wednesday night for arrival on the Thursday. Where are the UK lads staying? Im good at making new friends!!

you should meet up with us guys at hull we gonna have to arrange times and stuff my dad was planning on following dan and chris down to the track so you should follow suit :D

the more the merrier on the boat ! ;)

I can't say how amazed I am at how quickly this thing sold out. Of the usual UK lot who got in;

Pidge?
Truman?
Mat White?
Reevsy?
Whyman?
Grant?

Not sure on the staying plans yet, plenty of time for that. You know you can camp at the track, but sleep will be at a preminum?

Actually lets have a role call now;

Dan Greenwood,
Chris Long,
Mat Dodd,
Chris (can't remember your second name),
Gary Driffield (sp)

The ferry there leaves Hull at 7pmn, which is all great!

Problem is coming back, as it leaves Zebbrugge at 7pm and the meeting doesn't finish till 6pm. There is one from Rotterdam at 9pm, which despite being further away might be the best answer, and ready to leave after last leg of A sharpish!

Andy will only be in Belgium if the Government decides to invade it woud seem. No places for past winners!

Chris Stewart. Dan you helped me out with a Novak 6.5 motor at Bury Regional last year.Do people know how much to sail? I have been told that it is cheaper to organise a one way there and a one way back to the UK as its cheaper? Strange but worth a try.

Not if they aint up early enough to book in Charles LOL

As Danny says "bloody lazy students" :p

Stan & andy newbound are in aswell :D

im not goin this year as much as i would love 2 . gonna be doin my first euros. im shocked at the amount of uk drivers that have entered in such a small space of time!! from my point of view its a shame so many ppl will miss out willy could cut the finals to 1 leg and sqeeze in another 30-40 drivers on both days. but thinkin of it parking and camping was a bit tight last year.

grant williams
p.s im a sponsored driver now woohoo. cheers dave at cml

Hi Craig.
Heard from a mate who does night shift. He thought we would be there and booked in! Only been driving RC cars for 2 weeks???? This is not true but I am sure the sentiment is correct.

only 20 minutes driving for me

Chris, I remember who you are, I've not been reply to your PM's with not the foggiest who I', talking to ;) I just couldn't remember your second name :)

1 way Hull - Zebbrugge and 1 way Rotterdam - Hull = £298

sorry people...the double champ is not going...got euros to concrentrate on......

I will be there going for the iron man challenge this year!!

I am running all 3 classes..........:D

So is Chris Long, you're freaking nuts IMHO

Si - you will have to try and get some practice in this time!!!!

With brushless and maybe Lipo for Practice i will have no reason to leave the rostrum :p......

You going Matt?

LOL, who told you my plans?

Do you know if we can run Lipo in the race, or only for practice?

Guess we will have to wait and see what becomes Efra Legal, as they normally adopt all the rules with the exception of cut and shuts which are allowed, however i have noticed that next year they want truck racers to use truck tyres, did think the trucks looked strage last year with buggy tyres and a large truck body!!

Im pleased about that on truck tyres. Just got to fill them up with harder foams than usual to cope with the grip.

lmao si was the first on the track and last off haha

That is why i like belgium so much! i would rather rag a car round a track than race any day!!:p

Think thats why people say my car looks good in practice and it goes to pot in qualifying......:eh?:

Thats not true Si!!!! I've never heard anyone say your cars look good in practice :p:p

hahahahahahahahah

hahahaha

well we have decided to get a b&b while we are there so can anyone recomend somewere close to the track ? might seem a bit premature asking now but we just want to get some price and location ideas ;)

Neil, have a chat with Dan asap, by PM or whatever way... ;)

will do Chris ;)

Chris, myself and Craig Harris are staying at the below. It's bascially £40 a night/room.

http://www.etaphotel.com/etaphotel/f...he_hotel.shtml

This is near the airport which is about 10km from the track. The track is in a village out of town, I don't even remember seeing any accomodation any closer that this last year as we were about 18km away.

At the same location is an IBIS (expesive) and a Formule 1 (shared toilets and showers but £10 a night cheaper).

Planning on staying on 3rd, 4th and 5th, with overnight ferries on the wed and sunday nights.

We booked in the B&B :p hope it aint like the " la bella " :D:D:D

I hope that this little problem is not going to mean getting out all of my 40meg equipment out again:-

Questions...

How long will it take to drive there (once you've left the UK)?
What's to do around the area (i've heard rumours along the lines of 'absolutely nothing')?

i hear its about an hour and a half, we gonna have to rush to get the ferry on the way home ! :thumbdown:

You're looking at about 2 hours drive from calais, and yeah it's fair to say there isn't a massive amount around the area. Not sure about the local towns in all fairnes, but we always camp and haven't botherd verturing too far away. There is a pub just around the corner that has this "odd" billiads type game. Also a couple of other pubs just about in walking distance that look ok, think one of them is a "sports bar" or at least it i think it used to be.

2 hrs from dunkirk and bring your own loo roll.
