Okay, I've checked the WRC website ...... 15th - 17th August 2008 .

Is this by invitation only to go along with the ESC hardcore ?

Dates are correct mate

No mate not really ...

There have been a crowd who have been going for the last 3/4 years , Obviously numbers have to be limited mainly for logistical reasons ..

The hotel is booked & paid for ( When we leave in the previous year ) & all the WRC / SWRT Passes are all paid for up front by one person .

Unfortunately our group is all confirmed as all going again , As i mentioned earlier we book all of our rooms a year in advance ( The day we leave , We make the same booking again for the following year & then confirm with the hotel as soon as the WRC Dates are released.

Andy,

Only problem I see see, is getting WRC/SWRT passes etc , i wouldn't have thought the hotel would be too much an issue.

Anyone advise where the WRC/SWRT passes are available from ?

SIDC members can get the SWRT VIP passes through SIDC if you
cannot get into the ESC closed 'knitted' circle.

FPMSL @ ESC closed 'knitted' circle.




As Ade mentioned SWRT VIP Passes are no probs to get hold of , Of course to SIDC Members .

Hotels in Treir you maybe suprised , Most are booked well in advance , But you maybe lucky & find one

NeVeTaS Thought that he maybe able to find a room in Treir on arrival last year , But even to his suprise he couldn't

In fairness to ESC, it's best to keep the number of cars down in a convoy not to attract unwanted attention. The kind of attention that's 'hip' in the UK is not on the continent, especially Germany.

The Germans find the concept of convoy hard to digest, they believe high powered cars in a convoy are Gumballers, which is now officcially banned in Germany.

So expect hours of delays and intense questions without cups of tea.

Best break up into smaller groups when approaching the German border, or paste a bold lettering on your forehead
'I drive an impreza, but I'm not a Gumballer'.
