Im not sure if Jimmy will make this thread sticky but i thought it would be good to have some where to ask questions and chat to others who are going.

Firstly has anyone found any good prices on flights, the best prices i have found is £347 per person flying out on the sat before and flying home on the sunday after.
This was flying out from manchester via helsinki then an internal flight to vaasa.

Hiya Lee, looks like we've found the same flights as you have, I searched a number of websites trying to find a good deal, some prices came back at 1600+ per person, I think 335 each was the best I found, on expedia.
Looking for car hire now, expedia didn't offer the most competitive car hire rate so I'll continue looking around. It'd be interesting to know what deals other people have found.

We got our flights through BA for £170 return each, from Heathrow to Helsinki, and the 6 of us are going to hire a minibus (£500 for 8 days) and drive the last 240 miles.

[Mrs oOple]

I looked into flying to Helsinki then driving the rest of the way, but it was going to work out just as expensive and very inconvenient as far as time constraints. It's more expensive to fly from Manchester than Heathrow, but for us to travel to Heathrow would increase the cost just as much anyway. So we're going for the convenience factor and just flying to Vaasa with one stop each way.

Did I read that there is free internet access at the track? does that mean I don't have to drive about looking for an open wifi?

Correct Jimmy, it should allow you an extra hour a night to re-hydrate
