2008 Euro Hotel
 
Any thoughts on which Hotel people are staying in for this years Euro's in Collegno? Only stayed in the HIP the last two times and was not overly impressed. Anyone else any info on the Galio (i think its called).

Wraggy 06-03-2008 09:36 PM

Wraggy 07-03-2008 11:51 AM

well i dont know any of them but obviously i will be going with whatever people decide, But will need to be in the same hotel i would of thought ??

any suggestions from others ????

jimmy 07-03-2008 11:56 AM

Is the BRCA going to organise a booking / maybe discount? Whatevers nice, affordable and close to the track and other 'good stuff' - never been to the track and indeed never been to italy, so I've no idea :(

Lee 07-03-2008 12:04 PM

Jimmy, I think we just book in via the hosting clubs website, thats what PW email said anyway.

vader 07-03-2008 12:27 PM

Any strip clubs nearby for Lee? :confused:

jimmy 07-03-2008 12:29 PM

he did? did I miss that one? actually, since I was a norty boy and put in a late entry I might not get any emails haha.

Any linkies to this website with links?

Lee 07-03-2008 12:32 PM

Copy of the email Jimmy:

Dear All,

The organising team in Italy have now finalised some more details.

If you visit their website www.afmodels.com you can find details for:-

Booking an entry for the Warm-Up race in June.
Pre-ordering tyres for the Warm-Up and/or the actual European Championship.
Book hotels for either the Warm-Up or the European Championship.

The guys in Italy operate their own system for reserving Hotel rooms.
Instead of me having all the hassle of a 'Group Booking', you individually reserve your room by using the details and booking form on their website.
They have operated this system the last three times that I have visited them without any problems.

You will notice that there are two Hotels nominated. On past visits we have all used the HIP hotel. I will make some enquiries about the Gallia hotel and mail you the details soon.

Wraggy 07-03-2008 12:50 PM

so we all need to decide which one to stay at then ??

Hotel Gallia is the cheaper one of the 2 but no one has stayed there by the sounds of it .
might need a vote ??

spenner 07-03-2008 01:53 PM

It needs it's own bar or one very close... has to have open front so us brit's can sit out side and rate the females with the marshall point numbers!!!!

Also no dodgy blacked out windowed clubs with uncle festa on the door in the vacinity....

So which one then... I suppose we could book in each one for 1 night when we go to the warm up... that is leaving it a bit tight though.

jimmy 07-03-2008 02:02 PM

anyone found a link to a page about the HIP hotel?

MattW 07-03-2008 06:38 PM

The HIP is for want of a better word, situated in a truck stop on the side of a main road!! I thought it was ok as hotels go, has a bar and restaurant, but not much else.

jimmy 08-03-2008 08:50 PM

hmmm, the HIP looks to be about 4 times further from the track - any idea how far this is in travel time? anyone been before?

Cruise 08-03-2008 08:55 PM

The time to track between the Gallia and the Hip Hotel are almost equal.
The Gallia has the better breakfast.

Cruise.

jimmy 08-03-2008 09:17 PM

more importantly - is there a maccies near by? :lol:

Cruise 08-03-2008 09:22 PM

The nearest was i think in Alpignano which is as I hope to remember right a little nearer to the Gallia but easy to get lost.

Cruise

In fact itīs almost on the way to Gallia Hotel if you don`t use the Motorway as I have done a little research on google earth

MattADH 08-03-2008 10:03 PM

I stayed at the HIP hotel for the Worlds and it was fine. No comment on breakfast and we only ate in the evening there once.

I think it is around ten minutes from the track and we found that the best thing was to stop for food on our way back from the track.

Matt White summed up the location well but it is better than it sounds.

For the 1:10 world champs, I think it had the majority of the drivers in it so cant be that bad...

SlowOne 09-03-2008 04:48 PM

I liked the HIP. The surroundings aren't that great, but what do you want - a Royal Park for those long walks you all take after dinner??:woot:

Biggest advantage of the HIP was the excellent route to the track. I soon got into the Italian driving style - our record was through four sets of red lights in one trip. Hotels closer to the track don't offer this record-making opportunity!! Hope you all enjoy the event. :thumbsup:

Keep me in?????? Don't you know who I am???????????????? Mwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Mossy 09-03-2008 07:54 PM

The HIP hotel room wise is ok. The bar was pretty expensive from what I remember from the Worlds and previous Euros and sold out of beer etc pretty quick. The food was appalling tho. We ate twice in there at the Worlds and both times refused to pay for it. Sh*te in my opinion.

Im of the same ideas as Wraggy. As long as everyone stays together the atmosphere is always good.

Im sure that Mick Cragg said he stayed in a good hotel when he was over their with Neil?

Lee 01-04-2008 02:49 PM

Any more info on hotels?

Not sure if any decisions were made at the weekend with everyone seeing eachother again?

Wraggy 01-04-2008 03:15 PM

Thinks its still being sorted Lee ,I heard there maybe another hotel as an option but we are just awaiting prices and things for a group booking ..

Mossy 06-05-2008 08:45 PM

Take it everyone else has recieved the email of Paul W regarding hotels etc. Whats the thoughts of people?

jimmy 06-05-2008 09:56 PM

Looks good to me, I've never been to the other two, but this one looks far better.

kenooze 12-05-2008 07:52 AM

HI Guy's

Lee 14-05-2008 10:11 AM

jimmy 14-05-2008 10:12 AM

Lee 14-05-2008 10:18 AM

I havent seen pics of it yet

Jean-Christophe 14-05-2008 10:23 AM

Hi there

As Deuv said, the frenchTeam can recommend the Campanile Hotel.

I stayed there at the Worlds...
cheaper than HIP
cleaner than HIP (our shower at the WOrlds Warmup at HIP was not clean, a friend had caught something to his feet there)

...and I can give you a good & cheap Italian restaurant Address where we eated quite all evenings at the Worlds...top Italian food...(I can do the trip back only for their profiteroles...)

Cheers
Jean-Christophe
