After Dijon will do something similar to last visit i.e. travel to Orange via Switzerland so will probably do similar route ( maybe a wee bit shorter)
Kinger, I think we are staying around the Côte d'Azur area after Dijon and then will have the trackday at Le Luc the following day before heading to Orange. (See LOT description on the Frolic event)
Will wait to see what hotels Paul confirms, plenty of time so no great rush. Even then last time I didn’t go along with our planned route. We just winged it on the hoof. 🤣

We are thinking the same and will see where Paul has got us staying. We just thought it would be a good idea to head south immediately after the Dijon Trackday for a few hours, so that it gives us more options for some better driving roads on the transfer day before Le Luc the following day.

We could maybe just leave Scott to choose the route, if you are travelling with us, as it sounded like he made good route choices for you the last time.

Time is passing quickly and I cannot believe that it is March tomorrow, with only six months to go. :drive

Also as I'm taking a trolley jack, tools and a quantity of spares I was wondering if any of you solo travellers would have room for 1 or 2 crash helmets.
Kinger,
I'm probably going to take the M2 for between tracks so would have loads of space.
TFL are bringing the Caterham.

Cheers,
Ali

Sounds good.
I'd imagine we'll also have Baz, Sanj and Nick (in various Porsche and Ferrari!). I'll likely have Mr Hastie as pax from that London. :)

Everyone welcome. Clark and I were discussing a slightly earlier flit from central belt. Just to get ahead of the traffic. The idea of still being in Scotland at 11am feels odd for us softy southerners. Image

No problem at all Ferg. My initial timings were just to align with arriving at Heathrow at approximately a time that would suit picking up of our other halves.

Driving into LHR? Add plenty contingency Image

(Maybe leave with Ferg at daft o’clock after all Image)

LGW is a better shout if there is still time to arrange it. Simple access from M23 and generally been quiet or moderate traffic each time I’ve driven in Image
