For some time now PHers have been asking for a trip to Spa, so here we go.

Date
Thursday July 21st

The Track Day
The track day is being run by Goldtrack and the cost is £250. It'll be open pit lane and there are no noise restrictions. They are also running a track day on the Wednesday so if you wanted to really indulge then just ask for both days when booking!

To book, please use Goldtrack's website. Click the 'online booking' button on the home page. When entering your car details, please suffix with (PH). If you don't wish to use the online booking mechanism then please email info@goldtrack.co.uk or call 01327 361361.

Travel
Given the lofistical complexities we've experienced in the past on the travel front, for this trip we recommend you book your own travel. You can therefore travel when you want by ferry or tunnel, with trailer, without etc. etc.. You can also stay longer if you want to make a long weekend of it.

Eurotunnel is currently looking like £119 return, and Ferrysavers are quoting from £49 for Dover-Dunkirk or £82 for Dover-Calais.

Accomodation

Goldtrack have suggested we try the Le Rouannay hotel which they've used in the past. This is near to the track and has good food, a pool and secure underground parking.

Further hotels are detailed here if necessary.


Hope that's to everyone's satisfaction. Obviously it's a bit more 'self-select' than our previous Folembray trips but hopefully this will give everyone the most flexibility with regard to how to travel and when to travel.

We've had almost 40 cars on previous trips so hopefully we can get a similar throng together for this one! PH stickers will be made available to attendees

I need some feedback chaps.

o Are you waiting for Nurburgring dates?
o Do you want a one-stop-shop, one-phone call and it's booked packaged?
o Are you just waiting for someone else to book first?

Let me know the score and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, an all-inclusive package is being looked at currently.

If we can pull things together on that front then I'll publicise it more widely across other forums etc.

wouldn't it be easier to go with a main track organiser and just let everyone know?

Yep, the track day is organised by Goldtrack.

Easytrack are going two or three times this year, hotels available etc...


If we're going to do the one stop package with travel and accomodation then I'd like to do it with a fully bonded travel operator.

A full package is being investigated right now.

Closing date isn't my biggest issue currently

It will depend on demand so I can't really say at this stage.

Ok, I'm looking at an all-in package with a properly bonded travel operator (remember Wheeltorque & Cannonball) and am waiting on 'ring dates to see if we can turn it into a combined SpaRing trip

Ok, Detagglio are putting together a package for us which will include channel crossing, Spa hotel and 'Ring hotel allowing us to take in both circuits.

Nick's over there next week researching other trips and will inspect the hotels that we'd like to use.

The emphasis will be on doing this at an affordable price with the attention to detail and protection that Detagglio offer on all their tours (fully bonded etc).

It'll be a couple of weeks before the details can be confirmed.
