Camping areas are less than a mile from the track and reasonable prices too. Indoor Karting has to be done, which is right next to where you'd be camping

Take your time and sit at 70 all the way to kent. i would be fed up after that never mind then doing another 300 miles 
I would get cruise control fitted if i were you.

omg i want to go the now!!! what is this place called?
yeah i have cruise control haha there will be about 10 cars and 20 people or so! and was looking at the ferries and a few people said hull, someone even said newcastle to amsterdam and through but that sounds like hastle to be honest!
To say im looking forward to this is an under-statment! can you buy insurance there for the track itself? as I was reading about the costs to repair things if you have a wee mistake 
I wont drive like a tool either, before someone says lol

I think if you are up north it is a GIVEN that you should take the Hull ferry.
What place is called what?
You can't buy insurance out there for TF, you can probably get someone here to insure you bbefore you go but its not worth the hassle. Just don't be silly. (famous last words)

Getting the ferry closer to you means less time driving on uk motorways, more than worth it imo

I seem to have a strange feeling they are quiet expensive hence driving? (obviously depends how much money you have got to spend)

Camping am nurburgring
I camped this year and loved it, we camped during the DTM and full of camp Germans listening to hard rock gay bumming music and nelly the elephant being blasted out at 6am but when there isn't an event on I imagine it's quiet and showers etc are tidy even with loads of people using them

Thanks mate. I don't know mate, OJC would be your man for that.
Fuel isn't that bad, my Mazda wasn't great on fuel but on cruise control all the way there got me 400+ miles to a tank normally I'd only get 260 or so
