What if there was a "car" travel service that arranged for the shipment of a group of cars from a port in the states to Germany or wherever. Your cars are then transported to the ring and or other tracks. When you're done they reverse the process.

You could do that, but the Port of Amsterdam is not far from Amsterdam airport, max 30min... fly in, pick up your car the drive to Spa is around 3 hours, drive to the Ring is 3.5 to 4 hours tops... the drive down can be fun also

A corvette tuner tried to put a whole trip together for some customers a few years back. It was going to be one week with trips to 3 tracks I think including the ring and spa and travel arrangements made by them. Cost was 10k for transport and support while going to the various tracks.

Yip, could still do that I suppose... If anyone interested I could arrange to have them picked up at Port and transported to track, I know a couple of dealers not far from SPA that look after and transport race cars... For anyone who has a spare race car do you know you can have Manthey Racing look after it on their premises (2 Min drive from Ring) for around $250 to $300 Per Month (last time I checked), you could maybe strike a deal for a yearly rate and just fly over 2/3/4 times in the year and do that... just trying to give some on here options.

Yah, but the way to do that is euro delivery. We did that a couple of years back. Until you really know the track driving in a full out race car will not be rewarding.
