European Ferrarichat Rally 2006-Where?

Uhhhh, shall we include a course in English for you Simon?

 

But you are right (of course)! This is the moment for planning.
I wonder who will catch the ball.

 

The profit of the Germany and Switzerland edition was the "central europe" thing. Gives more people the oppertunity to enjoy the rally.
Think the costs and far drive to Scotland were some reasons for the low interest for the Scotland rally?
Maybe France or Belgium is an option?

Sorry, just my 0.02

 

Good point!

 

You could make a combo with Luxemburg for a stage of your trip then Nice and good roads, sigthings and villages, good hotels, food and wine (Riesling/Pinot Gris) or beer if you like... AND CHEAP FUEL!

Of course I can't organize it 'caus I'm not an owner yet don't have a lot of time either... but I can easily offer some assistance (route/exellent hotels) if needed Know the area very well.

I really would like to organize a Holland/Belgium/Luxembourg/France trip. Maybe Alex and Ton could help. But the problem is the lack of time next year. We are building our new house and it will be ready somewhere in summer 2006. This will take all my sparetime and holidays.

 

Rough schedule could be...
First day... south-Netherlands and Ardennes/Belgium, diner and hotel in Spa-Francorchamps.
Second day, via Eifel down to Luxemburg, tour via Vianden, Müllerthal,... diner and hotel in Echternach fe
Third day could go further and longer down south to Elzas area, Molsheim/Colmar (France) or... more near via Mosel to Koblenz (Germany).
Just some idea's here...
Indeed... lack of time could be a problem... But I would be glad to help work out a more detailed route for the... F-Chat wine-tour or something like that. More idea's?
Will look into it when I'm back from LP next week.

 

Alex, you have some good ideas!!

 

Wednesday:
Individual arriving at our main hotel for the whole event:
Close to Freiburg in the wonderful “Schwarzwald” (Black Forrest)
http://www.frsw.de/info-gb.htm
Hotel will be a local 2* or 3* hotel with secure parking, local dinner.
First evening: Welcome drink, dinner, bar……

Thursday:
After a huge “Schwarzwälder” breakfast drive together to the “Grand Ballon”.
The Grand Ballon is a famous mountain in the “Vogesen” France near Colmar.
It’s a 100 km trip thru an amazing area and very curvy roads. Arriving on top of the Grand Ballon 1.330m high, lets have a drink.

A wonderful smal private race track – with an outstanding museum of Ferrari race cars (private collection).The track belongs to Mrs. BUGATTI, a beautiful youn woman from the Ettore Bugatti family. We will have lunch there and track driving J
Back to the hotel, dinner, bar……

Friday:
After another huge local breakfast drive together thru the famous Schwarzwald “Schwarzwaldhochstrase”
http://www.schwarzwald.com/hochstrasse/
and the old, still excisting, hill climing race track: “Schauinsland”
http://www.erzkasten.de/domain/erzkasten/sites/adac.htm#top
http://www.schauinsland-klassik.de/html/vers7yes.html
In the afternoon visiting the world famous “Schlumpf- Collection” in Mulhouse:

Back to the hotel for, dinner, bar….

Saturday:
Early in the morning drive together from the hotel on the german autobahn (no speed limit on most parts of the 200 km trip we will do) to the famous Hockenheim Ring.
http://www.hockenheimring-shop.com/index2.html
- Visiting the Hockenheim Ring Race museum
- Fahrsicherheits kurs (learning to drive secure by constructors with all the goodies….water fountain, breakpoints….a.s.o.)
- Free driving on the F1 race track (upon request passenger drive and instructors)

Back to the hotel for dinner and a very last time to hit the bar.

Sunday:
Individual drive back home and for everybody who has to drive direction north or want to join us: Visiting HEIDELBERG and the old castle for a 1 hour tour (its always on the way back home).
http://www.cvb-heidelberg.de/
….that’s just another idea and some thoughts.
We have done this trip many times in the past few yars – wonderful.
The challenge is to get all the goodies together for 1 event (track rental).
Prices depends on how many participants will come?
….and last but not least I don`t know if I will have time enough to organize it?!

where ever it is, I will be there. Be 100% damned certain of it. BUT PLEASE not over the 20th August - it's my Sisters wedding!

 

Waauw.....Wolfgang!! Looks like you have a complete event laying on the shelf!! Sounds almost to good to be true
Keep the ideas comming guys, how earlier we know details how better everybody is able to arrange time in his/her agenda.

 

Sounds like a plan, stan. Whoever plans this, do NOT underestimate how much time it takes up, but on the other hand it is very rewarding and you get to go where you want to go!

It is very very helpful to have someone local to help plan & make recommendations..Matkat's help was invaluable planning Scotland.

Mike (Codex) is already looking for his first silly car (probably a classic Porsche), and my brother-in-law to be is also on the lookout for something similar - I am SUCH a bad influence Sooo, with a bit of luck (and dates dependent as my BIL-to-be is getting married on Aug 20th) we will have two new members for rallye IV!

 

hurry up i sort a trip as i am bored now and cant wait

 

How about combining the Tuscan trip and Euro rallye and hold the event in Italy in June. Neither trip was over subscribed this year and part of the reason could be because people cannot commit to more than one 'big' trip a year - I know I can't.

Could even make it a tour of Italy - Lake Como to Amalfo coast with an Ice Cream in San Gimignano in the middle??!

(and of course a detour to Maranello)

 

Mhmmm....done Germany is already done & gone

Anyway, I vote for the Cote D`Azur!

- Monte Carlo
- Saint Tropez a must go http://www.agsformule1.com/de/rennstrecken-formule-1/luc-en-provence.php
- Toulon another must go http://www.circuitpaulricard.com/cpr/index.html
- Nimes and one more time http://www.ledenon.com/

 

I am the same that i can't normally do two big trips although i tried this year and then a friend decided to get married right in the middle of the Scottish trip but I am off to Europe on Saturday for 11 days and our trip goes

Dijon
Paul Ricard
Cannes
Monte Carlo
Como
Venice
Bolzano (car train to) Dusseldorf

Maybe something in there that works for all, Cote D'Azur, Italy, Germany

 

Don't forget Österreich!

 

are we sorted yet where and when are we going

 

Unfortunately not!

 

This is happening in Aix-en-Provence next year:

When was this rally planned for, I mean wich dates? Depending on dates Alfredo and I might be able to organize it in Spain, with some help from you guys, as we have not organized one before.

Somewhere like in the twisted roads of la Alpujarra http://www.rusticblue.com/mapalpujarra.htm

An here a bit of an overview of the area http://www.rusticblue.com/las_alpujarras.htm
