To ask how on earth people pack light?!

I do, we are all different, when I get out the shower I want my robe.

Will there be a laundry facility at the AirBnB?

If you are with a race-team related group and expect any VIP entrance to the pit areas etc, don't wear shorts.

The weather forecast doesn't appear likely to need shorts anyway.

I haven't checked in luggage for years (solo traveller). Even went away for 3 months with a 30 litre backpack in carry on. I actually don't understand why people take so much stuff 🙈
Happy to help with specific questions and/or what i would take for your holiday if helpful

that sounds like quite a lot of clothes for 8 nights!! It's a completely different outfit for every day.

But you still only need one warm jumper/sweatshirt and one lightweight waterproof to layer over your t-shirts for warmer weather. You wear the jumper to board the plane. Honestly, the BA allowance is loads. Is the free easyjet allowance which is a challenge. And I think wizzair might be even worse.

The "clean clothes for the evenings" can be the same thing every evening.

Just bring a couple of pairs of shorts and a couple of tees then lightweight dresses/tights/sandals for the evenings. Packing cube for each day for ease.

Jumper you can wear with everything and lightweight mac just in case (wear these on plane).

Toiletries in a small bag, I find a small ziploc is fine for toothpaste/toothbrush/tinted moisturiser/mascara/lipbalm.

Pjs/hairbrush also in own packing cube.

On the flight wear leggings, top, jumper and mac with the chunky shoes. Personal item is your handbag.

Bear in mind that you can buy most things there if you need to (eg period products).

Travel in jeans, tee shirt, trainers, hoody and rain coat. Wear a bra that will go with all your other items.

Pack 2x team t shirts and 2x shorts for race days. Layer with hoody and rain coat as appropriate and wear trainers. One dress for the evening, and two smart tops to wear with the jeans if you’re worried about weather. That should fill no more than a medium packing cube. Sandals/flip flops/espadrilles for the evening. Travel home in what you wore there. Add knickers and socks in a small packing cube. You’ll then have plenty space for toiletries/straighteners/hair brush. Buy bulkier toiletries (shampoo, sun cream etc) at the airport or when you get there and leave behind.

I’m doing 5 nights with hand luggage case at the moment for the first time, and it’s been very doable but all my outfits were planned.

Old style carry on I can do pretty easily. The very tiny bags that are the only thing included with some budget airlines now are more of a challenge. My daughter is very budget conscious and is in the middle of two weeks Austria/France/Germany including a (cancelled) Taylor Swift Concert and a wedding and has doing it all with a tiny rucksack!!!. She's going to wear her dress with trainers for the concert and wore multiple skirts/dress on the plane!

How long are your there for. A few days should be perfectly do-able with a few compromises. You can only take (wear) one pair of bulky shoes. One warmer layer, which again you wear. Commit to just 2-3 bottom halves to cover all occasions. Tiny toiletries (they have to fit in a little plastic bag anyway). Kindle rather than a book. No styling tools. All more than do-able if you want to.

Do you understand the difference between a checked in bag, that you do a bag drop, that you pick up on the carousel.

And phoning to ask for an extra carry on bag. A bigger bag that you carry on, goes above your seat, in the locker above you.

No extra time needed for the 2nd option.

Ring them. At least ask.

No bag drop for an extra carry on the plane bag!

They have shops in the Netherlands? Just buy shampoo/deoderant/tampons etc at Albert Heijn/Kruidvat when you get there.

If you ring them you might be able to book a BA carry on 23kg bags.

Have you tried ringing them, sometimes they are more helpful on the phone.

Btw look on eBay and vinted for black & white clothing if you decide to go that route; some fab maxi dresses in no-wrinkle fabric.

I have attended motorsports events for 40 years and have it down to a science.

Are you required to wear the team shirts?
If so, black or white cropped trousers look better and are lighter to pack than jeans.

If not, I have taken to wearing maxi dresses. Might sound weird but they work fine at track.

Black and white patterned dresses when possible (floral, geometric, etc) with silver sandals and a black or white sun hat.

Minimal silver jewelry. Small black crossbody purse will be your best friend for a race weekend, to hold phone, money, ticket, credit card, lipstick or lip balm. Sunglasses.

For a four day weekend I would wear white jeans and black top & cardigan on plane with the sandals. As long as you don't spill anything on the jeans they can be reworn.

Three maxi dresses and a couple of extra tops plus maybe the pair of cropped black trousers in the luggage. Underwear, small bag of toiletries, job done. If you prefer trainers to sandals wear them on plane.

Don't worry about rain gear etc.; even if it does rain you'll huddle somewhere sheltered. Your hat will do. I used to take waterproofs and rain ponchos and all that folderal and never used. Take a clip in case you need to pull your hair up.

Everyone will be in the same boat so don't worry too much; it difficult to stay glamorous at the track.

Roll everything - it not only makes them small, it makes them less wrinkly. Put stuff inside shoes and don’t take too many pairs. Bags for make up and anything else. Use hotel hairdryer.

Can you just change the booking so that you are allowed luggage? Sorry if that is a silly suggestion and not possible.

Do you have a list of the clothes you absolutely need & maybe people can help you figure out what could feasibly fit with them?

I don’t often do it but absolutely can.

I choose lightweight clothes (usually wrap dresses with tights & leggings/tunic tops with a thin cardigan, underwear & socks. I use hotel shampoo/soap & take travel toothpaste/moisturiser/conditioner, use your phone apps for any reading & puzzles. I have a usb plug for Europe & US so don’t need an adaptor just a cable. I always wear flat boots that work for walking long distances and can go with both dresses and trousers and pack ballet flats for a change some evenings. I have a sarong wrap that works as a lightweight towel if we will be swimming.

I never take extras of anything & just launder something if needs be. I have managed a fortnight away for work with hand luggage before. I did do a load of washing the middle weekend though so I really only had 8 days worth of stuff.

Oh! Dad does make it a bit harder. Still I bet you could pop a couple of bits in his bag if you need to.
