    Hi. I know we are very late booking accommodation but we only realised now that we can make it. We are going down on Friday so hoping to stay Friday night. There is a group of 6 of us. Anyone know of anywhere cheap or if it is possible to book a room for 4 and sneak two people in? Are hotels etc very strict during race week? :):)

    Without putting too fine a point on it; you're fairly ****ed.

    Cheap = not going to happen

    Sneaking in extras = Hotels are well versed in this so unlikely but not impossible

    Pay €60 each for a couple of rooms in the Travelodge or split up and go into different hostels.
