Good idea Benbennyboy said:
May have to be that way so all info is cool 
I have driven to monaco in a van took me about 12hrs driving stayed in a cheap hotel 45 quid a night during monte-carlo rally week as I was working there.Drinking and eating can be expensive, went in one place and it was 8 quid a pint !!!!
Stars and Bars on the front does all food and drink prices about the same as TGI Fridays.
Cheapest way is easyjet to nice, hire cars to monaco
HOW ABOUT THE RALLY WEEK, IT IS A LOT CHEAPER !!!

I have looked into this before, unless you don't mind staying 50-100+ miles from the event basically everything is in hundreds/pppn.
There are couple of websites I had about it, I will look it up.
Camping is pretty much the only option...but still the premium is huge.

Put it like this, several companies do day trips to the french GP at circa £300+, monaco starts at £900+
OMG....I didn't rememeber the ticket prices being so high! £420 for a sunday grandstand seat. For 2006, maybe highly inflated from true cost if you bought it direct from monaco racing or whoever runs it.
Me? I can't even possibly start to think about affording this sort of thing, it has long been my dream since I was 16 and one or two mates started learning to drive, but as back then, to me it's still impossible.

Yeah i second that, the rally weekend would be excellent, and its free to go and watch, but u can buy special passes to park closer, which is advisable, cos from past experience u could be walking miles to see a stage!
Don't worry, that price was bull****

Joe, that's eurostar, different, eurotunnel or le shuttle or whatever is the cars part, eurostar is the passenger only, cars only go from Folkestone to, erm, not calais but close, near sangat. EDIT: Apparently it is Calais.
Assuming you drive, best thing to do is drive to Nice and stay there, get the train in on the days you want to go (i.e. sat/sun) and return in the evening, that way you want to need to break into a bank...
If you fly, again, fly to Nice from a London airport (usually cheapest due to high numbers flying out) and again, hotel/camping outside of Nice then train down each day.
Or....eurostar to Paris, TGV to Nice, stay in Nice...yep, you get the idea

Stuck, I'll review later if this dies.
I would be interested, depending on circumstances at the time.

Another Idea(please don't shoot! ) how about Le Mans 24 hrs. It's a whole weekend & you can camp in the grounds?

I think this is a great idea as I know someone who is going this weekend in his integrale. From everyone I have ever spoke to about it, it's supposed to be great weekend with a real party atmosphere in the camp sites and some great cars, plus you can get really close to the action as opposed to F1 which can be little restrictive.
Another of my friends went to Spa in Belgium which is one of the cheaper F1 weekends and is a great track with plenty of action.
PS in my prvious job as an interior designer I did some work for Ron McCulloch in Glasgow who used to own the Mal Masion hotel chian and now happens to own half of the Columbus hotel in Monaco with a certain David Coulthard! (tho even with a discount it would be way way to expensive to stay there especially that weekend)

Well some more suggestions as to what we COULD do...
The whole point of the Thread is a dream trip to the Monaco F1 GP so lets just go along those lines for now and see who would seriously like to go, and under what conditions we need to do it, to incourage more FF members to join us
Options...
I read that it's wise to stay in Nice, not monaco and get the train or Bus in to watch the racing. It's a far cheaper option for one thing and facilities for cars are extremely limited..
Another options is to actually take a coach tour down there, which would save our cars and cut down on the toll prices, and also make things a lot easier to organise.
The convoy option is probablly the most fun but much harder on the pocket and organising will be harder. It's possible we would need to stop for a night somewhere in France.
We could even get a plane which is suprisingly cheap and a hell of a lot less time consuming if there are Kids involved with the trip.
Alex is looking into some prices and stuff and i'll do the same. Anyone else with any more ideas ?

I've just got off the phone with the monaco tourist board, they're going to send me 2006 prices, the average price rise is 5% per year, so I'll factor this information into my calculations.
As far as acommodation goes, I'm looking into KeyCamp/EuroCamp Hotels, and whatever is available in rentals, just to give an idea of what the posibilities are.

Hiyas im new to forum tho looking to buy a fiat in september
Paris to Nice 940 K/m and according to Michelin it'll take u 8 hrs 30mins lol, btw the french motorways are sweeeeet alot better than the concrete M25 . The Eurotunnel is off the M20 near outside of Folkstone and it comes out just west of calais, very easy to get onto the motorway from there
