I think there's some on the main FB page who've signed up

I’m going along with quite a few others I believe. There are a number of us that have linked in with the Renault Alpine Club on FB who are doing a lot of coordinating from a UK perspective.

Ok, think I'll check my diary then. Surprised I hadn't heard about it untill an email from alpine.
Didn't want to turn up and it's 20 cars in a car park...

About month ago 700 were registered and previous years have ended up around a thousand I believe

I'll be in Monte Carlo for the F1 GP a week before. After that I have some plans around the French Riviera. There are chances that I can join the event in Dieppe. Unfortunately, the car will be in the garage at home. However, I'd love to meet you there -most probably- on Friday.

I quite fancied going to this, a nice trip down from Scotland. But 700 registered... no surprise I couldn't find anywhere to stay that was reasonably affordable for 3 nights. Shame.

Plenty of Airbnb available...

Hi.
I understand there are AirBNB and hotel options still available, albeit perhaps not all in the immediate radius of Dieppe.
We’re travelling over early on the Saturday morning.
I know someone who is distant from Folkestone/Dover who is travelling down on Friday night and staying over near Folkestone, to get the early Saturday LeShuttle crossing with us. We should be in Dieppe by about 9:30am.
I know the organisers have arranged lots of events over the weekend so I’d encourage owners to attend if at all possible, it’s shaping up to be an amazing weekend!
We will also be taking the opportunity to head over to Spa on Saturday night ready for the Alpine Elf Cup series, quali 2 and race 2 on Sunday. Admission is free and I’ve secured parking and paddock passes from the series organiser, so just message me and I’ll add you to the list and let you know the arrangements.
James.

Thanks for that. I'm looking at the Newhaven - Dieppe ferry overnight friday night, back on the sunday night one, with one night someplace. Bit of a trek from rural Perthshire but any excuse for a pop over to France. A nice warm up to Italy in July.
