can a pan-european meeting be possible?

i was thinking about rome but nothing is for sure now

what u guys think?

EDIT:

meeting will take place in imola track, san marino on 25 of august 2007, saturday.

its the place in so from egland, sweden need 2 days drive and from cyprus 3:P from other places in europe its just 1 day:)

edit 2:
30 aug 2006
if u see the ideas and the "fighting" below i still beleive we need to do a celica meeting. we are all proud celica owners, and i think we all have the write to be on this meeting. i think u all like our meetings in cyprus, 100-130 celicas going somewhere all together and having fun. this was the first idea. a first to last generation celica meeting.

Hello my friends

Wolf thank you for the answers. And i am glad to hear that the event will be easy to handle for you and the organization team

Ok i got a few questions....

As we plan to have a meeting with a trackday we need to think about a few things:

• Which track is well suited for us (remember only one group @ the time will be on the track)
• How many participants as a group can enter the track @ the same time
• How many groups can drive during that day? (from when to when?)
• Can we hold a 1/4 mile race @ the same time at the track location or nearby
• How much will this track cost in total?

As we are going to spent nearly the whole day @ the track area do we have enough space to park all these Celicas? I mean an area where we all can look under each hood and have a nice tech talk....

I think the track question is more important than the question for the location where we are based (hotel...). Because as you remarked right in this big group we are slow... and we cannot travel to much. We want to spent these 2 days together... but not half a day in a slow convoy So i think first need a track and then we build everything around that...

cheers Joerg

i think the best solution is all car to be in the pit lane. (i suppose if u rent the track we rent also pits and timers) so plenty of room (28 full pits rooms says in the website) and we can get lap times for each car (correct me if i am wrong). so who ever wants to go on track will have no problem (i believe very few will want to go test their time with beasts racing:P

a convoy is slow in cities but on highway with the right cars at the write spot is perfect (in cyprus we manage to get up to 130 cars in same line going at legal speed with no problems of getting lost) of course is going to be slow (rwd + lwd cars, not familiar with roads) but i dont think is going to be tragic
