We didn't think we could make SCC however we may be able too!
Can someone confirm the mileage from Calais? Or if there is a better ferry? As we would be bringing the bug!
Thanks!

... Can someone confirm the mileage from Calais? Or if there is a better ferry ...

It's something like 1250 (miles) but there are a few alternatives. One would be the Ferry from Newcastle to Stavanger which lands you a days drive from the track.

Steve&Adele that is truly awesome news, had a look at your car at vowo, stunning!!! 
If there is anything I can do to help please don´t hesitate to contact me!

Check out this link: http://www.sccevent.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=2
There´s a couple of options on how to get there.

We did the Fredrikshavn - Oslo ferry when going to EBI1, very nice since you arrive in Oslo in the morning fresh and completely rested. At a cost of course...
Last year when travelling to EBI2 we did the Puttgarden - Rødby ferry(45 min) and drove the whole trip in one sitting.
Took us 22 hours with car and trailer. No problem really, put I wouldn´t have gone racing afterwards! 

The Oslo - Chimay trip is about 1500km, not sure how much longer Oslo - Calais is, but no more than 1600.

It would have been a nice option and they could tag along with us driving from Stavanger.... but.. the strech from Newcastle to Stavanger does not exist anymore. I'm still hoping it will pop back now with the new terminal etc. to have a short trip to the UK this year.. but...

BTW. Looking very much forward to seeing your car up close Adele!
See you there :-)

Thanks, im going to take a look now! I seem to remember a little while ago when we looked at possible coming that there was a commercial freighter going to  Lincolnshire to Norway! Crazy, but going to see if it is still available!

** Edit, just found it on your Site, ferry from Immingham !! Hmm, taking a look now! Does anyone know how far a drive it is from there to SCC ?

Thanks

Thanks Matt, Trond, again going to have a look now at what is available, and also see how many days we would need off work !

Ok, i have done some homework andi have pretty much answered all of the questions i asked, so sorry

Right i have found 2 ferries, one from Immingham ( Grimsby for you southerners!! ) to Brevik, and Immingham to Gotherburg. By my calculation Gotherburg to Gardermoen is around 190 miles.

There is a ferry (food and cabin included) from Immingham departing Thursday 0400 arriving Gothenburg 08am Friday, just in time to drive up to the track.
The Brevik one is 42 hours, but i dont think its worth it as its still a 2 hour journey to the track ? plus Ferry goes out Wed, day earlier !

Just working out the prices now, but if we were to drive alone ie across europe it would be around £650 in fuel, let alone the other ferries !

Plus this way, Immingham is only an hour or so from where we live

Oh we may have 2 spare places if anyone does not mind a 28 hour ferry, and a short car journey either side ??

[JS]

Gothenburg - SCC is a very nice trip, very good roads and not too much traffic!

Excellent, Thanks. Well providing Holiday at work is sorted and the price for the Ferry is well... Easier on the purse ( have emailed for a quote) then hopefully we can be there

Give me a break I was just thinking about it 

[richie]

Would this be the time for me to tell everyone that Frank flat towed your buggy all the way to Norway then you just drove the last 50 miles 


cheers richie

Shhhhh  anyway 50 miles was about all I could do between fill ups

I know it's a bit late in the game, but we are doing dover-dunkirque and then driving to copanhagen where we get a ferry to Oslo, think we are pretty much on the same route as Martin.

So Excited about this already and its still months to go

Website update, check out www.sccevent.com ! 

[Berger]

Another update on the website www.sccevent.com and in the webshop!

And it`s a "must have!"

[Eric Ellis (57HotrodVW)]

Can someone out there in Scandanavia tell me what is the best way to travel from Gothenburg, Sweden to the area near SCC in Norway and/or perhaps somewhere west of there, so that I could possibly catch up with some of the people doing the pre-event "tour" in the days before?

Anything "tricky" about renting a car in Sweden and drving in/out/around Norway?

Thanks!
--Eric

[Jon]

Eric, you will have no trouble with driving a Swedish rental car over the border. But there is also a excellent train connection from Gothenburg to SCC (Oslo International Airport).
I also know there will be people from the Gothenburg region racing at SCC. Send me a PM if you want to get in touch with them
