If anyone's looking for a cheap hotel for RHR National and doesn't fancy the standard sh!tty Travelodges, then I've just booked the Ramada at Doncaster Airport (11 miles away) for £43/night using hotels.com

I know it's at the airport, but all the reviews say it's peaceful and quiet during the night. :) There's also a restaurant on-site too.

sounds good, i'm room hunting now.
Is there going to be the big marquee for pitting?

The restover lodge in Rotheram is £30 a night

There are very few flights at night, just the odd freight one so it should be quiet. There a few local hotels on the rhr website www.robinhoodraceway.com

Of course! Only the best for our racers!

Its mighty quiet on here

Im going to dominate next weekend :woot:

Leave the leather outfit at home Dave :woot:

You are the bollocks Dave!!!:thumbsup:

Oh YEh, you ARE THE MAN.......lover!!:lol:

As long as you don't dominate the hotel room too Bav!

Right, off to buy a lottery ticket...:woot:

I ALWAYS wear it, under my normal clothes most of the time :wub

Well at least I will finish more than one run stants :p

It wasnt me waking you up at 4am last time bungle :p

Iv'e heard there is a lot of sand on the astro, is the sand going to be cleaned off for the National???

There is AN AWFUL LOT of sand on the track and after talking to James at the track when we went up for a practice and race last wednesday, he says that it won't be there on the National weekend. I do hope so as to be honest I found it terrible to drive on with zero traction on a large percentage of the track.

Just to be safe i'd bring along your bucket, spade and windbreak.

I also hear that James is hoping to make a killing on RH Raceway rock and the donkey rides that will be going up and down the "beach" on Saturday evening ;)

Weather looks good :)

Not according to the BBC:

I never liked BBC!

Metcheck says it'll be hot and sunny, but with showers on Saturday morning and rain on Sunday night.

To be fair i dont like any of them!!

The forecast changes every day. Best off not looking until Thursday or Friday.

So who's the favourites for this weekend... Cockerill and ?

Yes, of course the piles of sand will be left there, the place won't have had any preparation and be looking a total dump for when everyone gets there, just like the last 2 nationals and the oOple race.

Anyone from the south west or south wales planning to drive up on the saturday?
