I'm suicidal Telo reading this lot & more, first time in 8 years not done Ring/Spa in the summer. frown
Neil's got his KO4 Turbo now on crazy golf he's chomping at the bit.
We perhaps are doing a last minute trip to the Ring beginning of August for 5 days gonna sound Daddyslimmo out.
This recent Ring/Spa trip sounds like one of the best ever.

Ive not made it to le mans yet... I did paris, monaco and am mid france currently and about to leave for last leg into le mans.

But here are a few highlight pics.

Parking in the underground car park was tight... the ramp down was even worse requiring 10 point turns on the ramp which was stupidly steep lol.

Thats hardly an epic road trip! More like a short tour of 3 tracks all relatively close to each other, still should be a good jolly though

Hi Matty, fantastic trip thanks & no idea why it's taken me so long to experience Spa.

Loved all of it, Eau Rouge at over 120 & Blanchimont 1 flat in 5th was amazing.
