Worlds 2011 - Vassa, Finland

[Legacy555]

Ok, fair enough, quiet a bit off, and we haven't even completed qualifying for it yet - however, with the 4wd national done and dusted it may be time to at least be thinking about it

I've heard a rumour that someone is thinking about driving!! - so here are the facts to help you decide:

DRIVING:
Dublin to Vaasa - 3,245km (6,490km return)
Cost of ferries (car) - 560 euro (much more for camper)
Tolls - 160 euro
Fuel (35 mpg average) - 600 euro
Baggage: no weight limit, but must fit in the car/camper
Time: with a two or three drivers, 2 and a bit days each way

FLYING:
Aer Lingus Dublin to Helsinki: 140 euro
Blue1 Helsinki to Vassa: 95 euro
Baggage: up to 15kg
Freight: 30kg Hauler Bag to Vaasa from Dublin is 100 Euro with TNT
2 Haulers strapped together @ 60kg is about 150 euro.
Time: 8 hours door to door including time during transfer.

This is a no brainer........
