Anyone heard of this? 3000 mile road trip across Europe, 8 nights in 8 cities (all 4* hotels) , 8 parties and a track day in Barcelona. Sounds awesome to me!

 

Came across it on Facebook, link here:https://facebook.com/eightballrally

Ive never heard of that one, but last year my friend and I did this one:

We did it in my old MX5. We tarted it up like a rally car and raised almost £1000 for Great Ormand Street Hospital.

 

Oh well done mate! Great cause. Did you enjoy it? Looks lovely.

We loved it, it was great fun and found out two important things:

 

1) The MX5 will do 132mph with the roof down

2) Its possible to roll a cigarette at said speed if you do it in the glove box!

 

On a serious note, we should plan a 300zx rally. There were some beautiful places along the route and I would love to visit them again. We have a few European members on this forum why not see if we can meet up? I like the idea of finishing in Monte Carlo though

Haha, 2 invaluable lessons there!

I agree, it would certainly be something I'd be up for. Never done anything like it but would love to. Wouldn't need to stay in 4* hotels either, that would help keep costs down. Just take a tent ;)

We stayed in youth hostels, worked out about £20/night.

 

I think a good plan would be:

 

Day 1 = Meet at channel tunnel, drive to Nurbergring (336 miles)

Day 2 = Laps of Nurbergring, drive to Freiberg via Luxemberg city (277 miles)

Day 3 = Drive to Menaggio via the Gotthard Pass (233 miles)

Day 4 = Drive to Monte Carlo via Col De Turini (287 miles) Stay the night in Nice as its a bit cheaper

Day 5 = Hang out on beach or head home individually

Well up for that! Maybe test the waters with other members, see if there's an interest?

I think we should put it forward as an idea and see how many are interested. It wont be a cheap holiday with tolls, fuel and beer, but if we could get a group of Zs it would be worth it. I think may/june would be better as it gives time for people to save up and its not the summer holiday period...

That looks like an awesome route [emoji106]

Yeah I was thinking somewhere along those lines with regards to date. Definitely, maybe create a new thread? "Rally Zed thread!" lol. (or any number of cooler titles you can think of!)
