So after 5 days of work it's time to pack up the garage and get everything back on the trucks.
It's a pain in the ass these days as due the the Carnets we have to use, we have to make sure the same stuff is loaded back onto the same truck. I brought 543 new slick tyres down so I have to take that many back even they are used and will go straight to the scrap yard.
Just a thought here and I'll leave you to work it out but a set of slicks is around £2000 per car, each car has used a minimum 3 sets. I've loaded the truck and have 418 used on board and will top up with new ones to make the magic 543. It's unlikely that customs will check but you never know.
The other guys have around 500 tyres between them with a mix of wets and road tyres for the customer cars which were trucked down. These customers cars will be trucked back to the UK and then driven home so will need new tyres at £1400 a set!! Not a cheap game if you want to track day your McLaren.........
As always, everything is handball so we roll and stack everything into the trailers. Sweep out the garage to leave it nice and clean and back to the hotel for some cold ones after another 13 hour day.
