Accommodation at Inters 2006
As airfields tend to be in the middle of nowhere, people attending for the weekend will normally require somewhere to stay. With this in mind, there are two options. You can camp, or lord-it-up in a local Hotel, B&B or guest house.
If you decide to camp (which we feel would be ideal for clubs this year), there is a GTI International camp site. It is not run or organised by ourselves, but by a company called Lutterworth Event Services, a team of fellow GTI enthusiasts. The charges are great value, especially if you stay for 2 (or more) nights. For more information and bookings, check out their website here.
Alternatively, if you value your creature comforts, we have compiled a list of local accommodation, including hotels, motels, B&B and self-catering establishments in the area, giving contact addresses and details of their distance from the event.
These are all establishments which (currently) have vacancies over the weekend of GTI International, so you can save yourself a lot of time and effort by using our list rather than trawling through travel brochures and other websites for addresses which might be many miles away.
Don't delay, though – previous experience is that all accommodation in the area soon becomes fully booked.
You can find the list here.

The prices for entry to GTI International are not high, particularly when you compare them to many other sporting events, shows and exhibitions which are attended by the public.
The entry charges had been held at the same level for 3 years but, because the costs of the event have increased considerably this year, the organisers have no option but to increase prices. We have done all we can to keep the increase as small as possible.
It is rather unreasonable to compare GTI International with a show such as Edition 38 where the infrastructure costs are far, far less. To give you some idea: the cost of providing the necessary safety fencing and barriers for the Sprint, Tyre Testing and other activities is in the region of
£15,000 (a single entry ticket for the event hardly covers the cost of just 1 metre of safety fencing and barrier).
The camping site is being organised by a separate organisation. The
provision includes toilets, showers, catering and entertainment on the
Saturday night and, when you weigh up the cost, you need to take these
factors into account.
We hope that tigz and his girlfriend will come along to GTI International. We have a much better site, right in the centre of the country, at a more favourable time of year, with a great many attractions and it promises to be the best show for many years.
And don't forget that, if you order your tickets on line (saving over 25 per cent) you will be entered into a draw and could even get your entry for nothing!
