Default GTI International 2011 - Discussion Thread

Hi folks

I've booked tickets for the Sunday only (we'll travel up on the Saturday) with a couple of runs up the sprint track to see what she'll do My wife and baby boy are coming too.

Seen a Premier Inn with rooms available for £29 a night about 10 miles from Bruntingthorpe so shouldn't prove too expensive, apart from a tank and a half of 98 octane lol

Anyone want to add their name to the list of attendees?

I'm down to show the car on the AudiSRS stand at the moment, but if there's a good A/S8 turn out I'll mix it with you guys if there's a stand

Adrian

I'll be there and I expect there will be a few. I'll have a few runs at the sprint as well. As to a dedicated area...........................................

Since Revo are sponsoring, maybe Ben can have a word and have us somewhere near the SRS stand?!

From past experience of organising stand space it only needs a phone call to the organisers, but depends if enough will commit to make it viable.

We're sponsering and I know the organisers pretty well so happy to ask, obviously cant promise but well worth a try.

Ambber's just checked the Premier site and best to book NOW as only few rooms left and the price likely to jump due to the demand!
She'll check internally tomorrow and I'll update you but advise is book quick!! It'll be full soon!!

I've just booked one near Rugby at £29 for a family room - the Leicester Braunstone one I was looking at is now £49 and Market Harborough is full. Makes more sense for us to be South of the venue anyway, otherwise we'll be driving past it on Saturday!

There's a few in the area at £29, but certainly looks like they won't be around for long.
