Accommodation; Hotel episode II
Thon Hotel Spectrum
This hotel is located down town. A short 5 minutes walk from Oslo Centrals station. It is a budget hotel which means that the size of a double room
probably isn’t too big. To get to down town from Oslo Airport Gardermoen the best option by far is the Airport Express Train. It will take you to
the Central Station in 19 minutes. It departure from the airport every 10 minutes during normal working hours, and every 20 minutes in the late and
early hours.
To get to the race venue you can take a local train. Time tables and travel description for the local train will be published later.
Prizes and booking
This is a hotel which my job has a deal whit thru the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions. You will therefore get a special prize, but also have
to book thru a special travel agent.
First the prize should be 895 Norwegian kroner’s for a double room per night, which is approximately Euro 112.50 per night.
Second, For booking you have to call Via Travel agency at +47 23 15 05 90 and ask for Julie. You should refer to the “LO-deal”
(LO is the Norwegian short for the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions) for hotels and ask for a booking at Thon Hotel Spectrum. Via Travel is a
rather big travel agency chain in Norway, so it is important that you call the specified number. If you call any other number you will not get the
discounted price. And of course keep your credit card ready when calling.
Other Hotels
There are of course plenty of hotels in Oslo. If you like to try other hotels than the ones we have mention that is of course no problem. We do
however recommend that you to find a hotel relatively close to the Central Train Station, unless you like long and time consuming traveling or
expensive taxi rides.
Famous last words
The Hotel capacity in Oslo can be tight, so please do not chance on booking hotels late.

Reservation update and info reminder for Badet barbizon Plaza
Hi all,
There are now 35 reservations, so the Plaza will be crowded indeed. That means that if you plan to stay at the race venue, and is not on the list, the
time for a booking mail is now
rolf(dot)andersen(at)fafo(dot)no.
I will do the final distribution on the rooms late this week.
Hers some of reminders from the management of the Plaza:
1. We offer a limited “private” space on the floor. The rooms will accommodate from 2 – 20 persons
2. Bring your self sleeping bags and mattresses; else you will probably not sleep very well…
3.We have only one shower to share between 35+ racers. The supply of hot water is reasonably good, but we do not know how well it
will supply 35+ racers. Be cooperative and quick and hopefully everybody can have one shower during the weekend. Bring your own towels since the Plaza
is towel free zone
4. There will be baguettes, juice and coffee for sale at breakfast time
5. The kiosk will be open from morning till quite late, and have a selection of pizza, sausage, soft and “hard” drinks 
6. We will accept Euros. But please do not only bring big bills. Bring also small bills and coins for change. If we do run out
of change you will receive Norwegian kroners in return 
7. The kiosk does have a selection of spare parts, especially Plafit parts. The stock is sized for supplying members of the club so
it do not have unlimited supplies of every thinkable spares. When out of stock, the supply is definitely gone for the rest of the weekend
8. Reed or print the info sheet at Badets own
site before you go, It will give you information regarding travel to the race venue and other practical information’s such as, adress, cell phone
numbers etc.
There are few, if any, rules at the Plaza, you will be shown to your designated place on the floor and that’s it. Have your fellow racers in
consideration when you do your choices and do not count on to much privacy, then everything will go along smooth for everybody 
Her's the updated list of bookings for Badet Plaza:

Some body has not been reading the posts
Some body has not been reading the posts in this forum 
In my post on 11/24/2007 at 02:47 (see quote below) I specificly asked everybody to book a late flight home on
sunday!!!

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 |
Anyhow, we'll see what we can do with the time schedule and see if we can put the early birds in the first heats on sunday.
The first heat is supposed to start @ 09:00 hrs and should be finished @ 10:15 and the second heat @ 11:30
Plenty of time to make it to the airport in time

You'll be looking at more than 36hrs in which you'll be lucky to get any sleep at all 
You can bet your Ass it will be an endurance....
Oh...you were talking about the little cars

Hi everyone!
I don’t think than everyone could catch a later flight.....
That’s means that not everyone can compete on Sunday, and that’s sad for the sport 
I live in Sweden (Umeå), 1200 km from Oslo. There is no way that we can reach the track if we don’t go by air.
For example there is NO flight back on Sunday after 15:40 (from Stockholm) our flight leave Oslo (Gardemoen) airport at 13:40 (that’s means we need
to leave the race track at 12).
Probably the race is not finish.
I don’t think this is good for the EM series that not everyone can race to the "bitter end".
Please be reasonable change the race scheme, so everyone can be "present".
I have about the same distance to Oslo as you have but i only have ONE flights to choose from (13:40).
That’s means that we can’t race to the finish.
I think a couple of Norwegians teams have the same problem, domestic flights are NOT common on Sundays.
Tamar, don’t be stupid listen to the crowd, we in the north can’t compete at the same conditions as the others.
Take the complete 12h race on Saturday (and Saturday night). What will happens at night, some more beer and a lot of happy faces (:

The White Mouse Racing teams are ready to race thru the night if this helps all teams to race to the bitter end.
And remember we have a 6 hour drive from Oslo to Copenhagen after the race!! Still, lets race thru the night so the finish is reached for all
teams!
So we agree with the Swedes from way up north!
Cheers,
