Oslo 12 h race, EEC 2008
Hello everybody,
I would need the time schedule for Oslo 12 h EEC 2008 race. I can't find the schedule from IMCA's site. Jean Pierre told me: "The 2008 EEC goes
under control of Tamar".
So, can Tamar or someone else give me some schedule. After this it is easier to order flights and hotels.
Best Regards
Kai

Oslo Schedule
Hello Kai
Yes it appears I'm the lucky person that has been "awarded" with the whole EEC organisation.
The only problem is that I still need to get in contact with both Glenn "Badet" Wenneberg and Jostein Vandaas to get the final details fixed.
Let you know asap.

Too my knowledge there isn’t any hotels very near the race venue. But any hotel in the centre of Oslo near to the Central Train Station will do
fine. There is a 10 min train journey from the central station to the nearest local station for the race venue. And a short 3 minutes walk from the
local station.

Badet Barbizon Plaza

Hello Kai
From my past experiance I can warmly recommend you the Badet Barbizon Plaza.
We stayed there last year and it was fun, dead cheap and had a great bar....just down the hall of the racetrack 
They have a diffrent "theme" for each "room" there's the "Aviation suite" (we booked that last year) the "Cinema suite" the "RC suite"
They're so big you can easily fit 6-8 persons in them. 
Just contact Glenn the "Hotel manager" for your reservations. If you bring a small bribe (like a nice bottle of spirit) I'm sure he can fix you up
with a nice suite.
You can off course book a Hotel downtown like the Spanish team did last year......they paid a fortune and were almost to late for the race because
they got lost.

I had a short talk with Glenn regarding accommodation. I’ll organize the accommodation in Oslo and will by next week inform you how we are going to
organize it. We can already now say that it will be two possibilities:
1. @ Badet Barbizon Plaza (as Tamar kindly calls it) there will be possible to stay. This will be in several rooms on the racing ground that we
posses, and is of course no hotel 
We don’t yet know how many we can host there, but we’ll find out during next week. Those who are staying there will have to bring thermarests and
sleeping bags, and accommodate themselves on the floors in those rooms we have at our disposal. No single rooms will be available, only lots off fun
2. We’ll find some options for hotels with easy travelling too the racing ground @ Badet  .
As Tamar describes hotels in Oslo are not cheap. But if there is a reasonable lot that prefers hotel we’ll se if we can quote for some discounts.
So during next week you’ll all know how we’ll organize this

Flying home !!!!
Hello Guys
I did not want this to be public yet before I had recieved an answer form Glenn and Borge but as you (Kai) mentioned that you were going to order
your tickets!!!!!!
I did some calculations on the timeschedule for Oslo and if we drive 15 min p/lane with the proposed 2 runs this means each team has to wait 6 hrs
between each drive and we'll be finished @ 02:30!!!
I send Glenn 2 proposals for the Oslo race and one of them is to drive 10min p/ lane and do 3 runs with the third run on Sunday morning. This way you
"only" wait 5 hrs but we have time for diner and finish racing on saturday @ midnight.
Sunday we could run the third run from 09:00 and be finished @ 14:00 hrs meaning flying home from 16:00hrs.
So if you guys can wait this weekend before ordering your tickets..... or if you order take a late flight home.
If the decision is taken to run everything on the saturday you can always go sight seeing in lovely downtown Oslo

Many of you are now starting to make the detailed plans for the Oslo trip, as seen on this thread. But As Tamar suggest - Hold your guns for a few
more days 
There will be a ready time schedule, accommodation, travel plans when arriving in at Oslo airport Gardermoen etc. by the end of this week the
latest.
You will be informed here at the forum and there will be a designated page at www.bilbane.no where you also will be able to review alt the
practicalities regarding the Oslo 12 h.
I will act as “secretary” for the organizers at the forum. So just stay patient a little bit longer and you will all se the light very, very soon

Just in case any of you did take Tamar words literarily :
I will not recommend a 16.00-hour flight out of Oslo if the race is finished at 14.00. With the security at the airport these days, and the travel
time from the race venue, there will not be enough time, especially if you plan to race the final….
But again as said over; hold your guns al little bit longer

Booking at Badet Barbizon Plaza
Hi all!
We had a count for the numbers we can accommodate at the race venue this evening. We have “room” for at least 58. That means we will be able to
accommodate the lot of you if that’s the case. Regardless of that I’ll will also, as promised, come up with hotels for those who don’t fancy
sleeping on the floor
About Badet Barbizon Plaza
We have in all 7 rooms will accommodate from 3 to 20 persons. You will be sleping on the floor so bring your own madras and sleeping bag. Don’t
count on too much privacy… We have only one shower, but more than enough toilets 
There will be possible to buy a light breakfast, consisting of baguettes, coffee and juice. As you understand this is a really budget “hostel”. In
fact the cost for a place on the floor is noting As for the bribes;
a nice and large selection of the finest liquor from the tax-free at Oslo airport will ensure that you will sleep if you all share it before you go to
bead
Booking:
I’ll will take booking at this e-mail address rolf(dot)andersen(at)fafo(dot)no (The strange writing too avoid search engines and hell of a lot off
spam).
I’ll organize it so that I’ll try to accommodate those of you that feel that you would like to sleep together can be placed in the same rooms. That means that you should not send me mail
on by one, but go together and send one mail from your team or several team is that’s the case.
Selected hotels will bee announced later this week.
Rgds
Rolf – booking manager

Practical information Oslo 12 hours at Badet Raceway
Her is, as promised more practical information regarding the Oslo race. All information put on the forum will also be published at a dedicated page on
Badet raceways internet site: Printing from there before you leave for Oslo might not be a bad idea
http://www.bilbane.no/Info_sheet_Oslo_12_hour.html
First you need to get the address for Badet Raceway right:
Street address:
Ole Brummsvei 1
Oslo
Who are you going to call??
If totally lost somewhere in the universe, outside the race venue, you can try calling
Glenn Wenneber, CEO of Badet Raceway (+47 917 43 929) or
Rolf K. Andersen, Booking Manager for Badet Barbizon Plaza (+47 90 19 91 37)
Remember that both of us will race too, so please note that no calls will be answered during our race times J
By reading the following you will learn more about airports around Oslo, as well as travelling from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Badet, The kiosk at
Badet and accommodation. If you have further questions please post them at the slotracinglemans forum and one of the Badet guys will answer you.
Airports around Oslo
Oslo Airport Gardermoen is the main airport for Oslo. Some airplane companies fly into Oslo airport Sandefjord. (for
example Ryanair, and even some KLM flights). However, be aware that, Sandefjord isn’t even in the same county as Oslo, and a minimum of two hours
from Oslo. (So claiming that they fly into Oslo when actually flying into Sandefjord is a bit of a lie). At the time of the race there will also be
third airport operating in the area, at Rygge, mostly operated by Norwegian (www.norwegian.no) from various European cities. This
airport is closer to Oslo than Sandefjord, and will only be a short one-hour bus drive to down town Oslo.
Travelling from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Badet Raceway
There are two main ways to travel; by bus operated by Flybussekspressen (Airport Coaches) and by Taxi. The bus is practical if you are going directly
to Badet. Just ask the driver to stop at the first ordinary stop after take off at Smedstua (Haugenstua) bus stop and you can easily take the four
minute walk over to Badet.. We will put up signs so that you’ll be able to find us. Four people can share a Taxi that will cost you approximately
the same as by bus. Just ask the driver to take you to Ole Brummsvei 1 in Oslo and it will be a 30 minute drive.
Timetable Airport Coaches
From Oslo airport Gardermoen take bus F3 Bekkestua to Smedstua (Haugenstua).
Departures Friday.
First departure 05.30, then 06.00, 06.30. and 07.00 From seven o’clock there are three hourly departures 20 and 40 minutes past the hour and on the
hour.
Returns on Sunday.
From 14.30 there are tree hourly departures; 57. 17. and 37 past the hour
The price is 140 one way and they axept Visa, Mastercard/Eurocard, Diners, Amex and of course cash in Norwegian kroners.
Taxi
Taxi to Badet is of course easy travel. You should take an airport taxi operated by Oslo Taxi. You will travel within the red zone of the airport
taxis, which is the cheapest Zone. Point that out to the driver to be sure that you will be charged the right prize.
You’ll find more information on the airport taxies at this link (in English):
http://www.oslotaxi.no/upload/Priser%20og%20takster/Oversettelse%20Airport%20Taxi.pdf
At Badet…
…you will find some services to your convenience when at the race.
There will be a kiosk where several refreshments and light food will be available. There will be a selection of:
Soft drinks
Beers
Sausages
Pizza
Chocolate
At Breakfast time it will also be served Baguettes and juice
The kiosk will, beside NOK (norwegian kroners) , also accept Euros. Please do not only bring big notes, also bring some small notes
and coins. Othervice there will be a change problem and you risk getting Norwegian kroners in return.

Accommodation; Hotel
Here’s some info for accommodation at real hotels. As promised we’ll give you two recommendations. First is the nearest hotel to the race
venue. Tomorrow (got the papers at the office) you’ll get a recommendation for down town Oslo.
Linne Hotel
This Hotel is the nearest to Badet Raceway, the race venue. This does not mean really side by side, but it is a 7 minutes taxi drive from Badet.
Walking is only for the fit, since it will take you at least half an hour. But Taxis are ok and if you are more than 4 you could always share a mini
bus operated by Oslo Taxi.
Since not placed down town Oslo the weekend prizes are quite good. When checking prizes today (11.11.07), a double room from Friday 1th of Feb to
Sunday 3rd of Feb. (2 nights) was 2000 Norwegian kroner for the room on a special prize deal. This is approximately Euro 244.
There isn’t really any easy way to go from the airport and directly to the hotel. You would either take the airport express train to down town Oslo
and then take the subway to the hotel, and have a 5 minutes walk from the subway station to the hotel. Or take the airport coach and ask the driver to
stop at Vollebek station, there is a minimum of 8 minutes to walk from the bus stop up to the Hotel.
Fore those of you arriving on Friday it will be recommended that you take the airport coaches directly to Badet, as described in the info sheet at our
web site (http://www.bilbane.no/Info_sheet_Oslo_12_hour.html).
Then you can check out the race venue and take a taxi to the hotel at your liking. Remember to inform the Hotel in case of a late check in.
You’ll find booking and contact info for the Hotel in English and German at:
http://www.linne.no/english/
