Where has it been mate.
Is it possible to get through france with out stopping to the ring with my 70 ltr tank,i dont think so.
4 yr engine out service, 'box repair @ HOR, all delayed due to Covid, long protracted debate with HOR!

It's just over 200 miles from Calais to Aachen so no issue if you've got a full tank.

IIRC the current rules say you can still stop for fuel/food/piss in France or Belgium without any issue.
That's as I understand it, it depends what constitutes 'mixing with other people'.

Also you have to isolate if you travel on the ferry but not on the Euro tunnel. My plan is to drive through with an al fresco slash if required.

Have the French said that will still be the case if as seems likely they decide UK is no longer on the French exempt list?
Earlier in the year when the travel corridors weren't in place yet (june) so the uk was on the france naughty list there was no issue passing through france to get to belgium so the same I would assume will apply again. Although to be fair i haven't explicitly checked that they haven't decided to be french and randomly change it now......
Latest info we have is that providing you do not stop - or stop and breach the conditions in the document Digga posted - you can pass through, same on the way back.

I’m out on the 2/9 back on the 5/9 as of now don’t see an issue.

You have to present the document below at French customs ;

They have another Donington date, unsilenced.

So what's next?...

I seem to have missed bookings for any more of the PCGB days. Anyone else looking at any of the W2R days?
Silverstone own site has a GP day free for 16th August if anyone is interested.....

Not entirely sure how the bleeding heck one might be able to go to Spa or the ring though which is very bloody annoying.
Not a bad call. I have no Silverstone days at all yet this year.
Sounds like a plan 16th then?

Which W2R Donington do we think?

Edited by Digga on Friday 4th June 11:13

Must have been a glitch on their website as after my 67th attempt its allowed me to book Aug 16th. Looking forward to catch up again with some familiar faces and some new ones.
I'll dust off my luncheon vouchers.

I realise I’m new to this party, but I’m already booked onto 16th at SS too. Be great to meet some of you.
My 992 GT3 is on the boat and this SHOULD be it’s second day at SS.
The more the merrier, in general. Come find us!

You’ll recognise Taffy66 he’ll be the bloke peeling an orange in his pocket to avoid sharing.
