I believe it should be around the new year when all of the details can be confirmed with the relative companies.

As for the entry form, a new one should be put up when the details are finalised.

What are the dates likely to be? I've not been before but with 50th Anniversery of the Mini and a speedy Spi Mini sitting around not doing much at the mo I think I'll have to make '09 my first year.

That would be cool.

A few of my mates suggested we all chipped in for an hour or two. Its actually not that bad price wise.

To benifit from an hour, you'd have to be on there constantly (based on 10 people chipping in)

Isn't it about 6,000 (£5,200) EUR per hour? I'm sure we looked into it last year but the cost it just completely prohibitive. To make it worthwhile you'd have to make it cheaper than buying roughly 6 laps (6 laps, average of 10 minutes a lap = 1 hour). So, thats one 4 lap pass (£49) , plus 2 x £14.50 (£29), total of £78. So to make it viable you'd need (£5,200 / £78) at least 65 people chipping in.

Of course if my inital assumption about it being 6k an hour is wrong then all my calculations are FUBAR.
Ignore all that, just found the supposed costs on Ringers:

weekdays 8a.m. - 5p.m. = 13.030,50 €(incl. VAT)
day on weekend 8a.m. - 5p.m. = 18.516,40 €(incl. VAT)

Which isn't that bad, not sure if they'd rent it out for just a half day or an hour or two though? Apparently days available to hire are very limited though, and regular buyers tend to get preference.

[Dev]

So there would be no laps in the total cost this year then? or free track time?
