We did it from Trieste last year and it was fine, off top of my head took 1 hour and 20 mins from Trieste to Ljubljana (lots of hotels) and about 1 hour 30 mins from Ljubljana to Krsko. Roads are very good now in Slovenia, nearly dual carriageway all the way, couple of tolls but petrol is very cheap. If you want any directions send me a PM.
Two years ago we had tickets for back straight and got their early about 4.00 but couldn't find anywhere to seat decent (apart from front row where you couldn't see a thing) as it was all reserved by the Poles, each block seemed to have their own leader, we ended up standing up at the back which was a very good view but just tiring on the legs standing for 6 hours. If was going again would book reserved seats on the first bend.
I would of thought it would be taking a risk getting back, normally if a GP runs to time it will be finished about 9:45 but if there are a few reruns can go on quite a bit later then you have to find a taxi to get to the station. We have always hired a car, they are cheap over there and petrol is cheap too, easy to park at the stadium.
Copenhagen capacity was 42,305 when the GP took place but now been reduced due to 34,000 while they build a new stand.
Gelsenkirchen is 53,804
Wroclaw 35,000
Bydgoszcz 20,000
No doubt the easiest to get to for flights, transport and amount of hotels available is Prague.
Cheap flights from all airports no need for car just use underground and trams, loads of hotels and apartments.
Yep exactly and that was my point in how much profit travel plus are making, but like I said I suppose its good for single people to go on if they want to spend the money to be with others.
£200? Don't think its ever cost us more then £150 to do a foreign GP, nowadays we do them for around £100!
I see the advantage of the likes of Travel Plus for the single person etc wanting to go abroad but I still think they rip off to make a profit.
Years ago Peter Ballinger use to organise trips to Slovenia and Norway and sorted out all the transport with coaches & hotels and charged less then half the price of Travel Plus.
Just had an email from them saying that rows 1 & 2 are not available now as they are covering them up for health & safety reasons, not too happy about it but can't do much about it, don't know why they are being covered up they are about 10 foot off the ground and have the pits inbetween the track.
Tickets for the German GP went on sale yesterday, we have got front row back straight again, great view of track and into pits where you can virtually touch the riders below for £30.
We normally always fly Stansted to Ljubljana but last year we flew Stansted to Trieste (Italy) as it was dirt cheap and just drove over the border, stayed in Ljubljana and drove to Krsko. Roads are good now in Slovenia.
