Sounds great, but at Portimao for the final round of the ELMS.

We're going to Catalunya for the Int. GT meeting for a change this year.Missing PR for the first time in about 6 years. But then again Prologue and ELMS in april. The Dix Mille is nice though, very chilled out. Portamao looks great,have you been before Barry?

Sardines for breakfast then? Always a treat to visit a new one. I have found memories of trips to Estoril in the 90's when Fatty Mansell spent most of the race "in the sand" as the RAC advert of the time said. Looks very hilly so will have awsome veiwing.

No sardines for me!
Might do some Medronho though!
According to John Stevens and other reports I have read you can see about 85% of the circuit from the grandstands, a bit like the Brands short circuit.
Really looking forward to the trip.

Monarch!
Been a bitch today trying to find an alternative flight.
Think we might have one, waiting for a confirmation, not very optimistic at this stage.
And at £100 a head extra.

Look at flights to Lisbon too, much cheaper than flying into Faro.
I'm flying into Lisbon & driving uo to Portimao, it's a 2,5h drive but saved me about 160 €

Eventually got flights, into Lisbon.
Crap flight times but but nothing else in our price range.

Will do.
All companies have been really good with refunds.
Hats off to Avis, Gatwick parking, all full refunds when we had to re schedule things.
