Anyone interested in such a trip there next April/May?

(Folembray track day will still go ahead).

Most definitely. Must put in more practice braking for the bus stop though.

Ted

Would you aim to run sessions or go for an open pitlane approach?

Ta.

Sounds good, ideally with something for the other half to enjoy (posh-ish dinner/sightseeing) as per Folembray last year?

Just testing the waters currently.

I still want to do Folembray in May, but there may be an opportunity to do Spa too although we'd need to get around 60 cars to make it happen.

Ted

Would you aim to hire the circuit privately, or do it through a 3rd party (so you don't have to worry about liability ins, etc, etc). Also, they can look after all the safety stuff for you? If you do the 3rd party route, would you aim for an exclusive PH event?

No secret, it would be through Bookatrack. They are looking at a day there and wanted to know if we wanted a second day there for ourselves.

Folembray comes first. If it jeopardises that weekend because there aren't enough punters for both, then I'll stick with Folembray and just get a group together for one of Bookatrack's Spa days and assess demand that way.

Oh yes indeedy
I'd be up for a trip to the depths of the Ardennes Ted.
In fact I'd choose it over another Folembray as after 3 visits there I'm not that bothered about driving it again.

Hmmm. Might be persuaded into Folembray or Spa next year. Would need to rent one of their cars for it though...

I'd do a Spa day over Folembray, especially given last year's noise limits (none at Spa).

There are also lots of things locally for partners to do if they are not interested in staying at the track.

(Not a usual suspect)

I'd be interested in this - direct ferry from Edinburgh to Zeebrugge being a useful start, and Mrs Elm would probably quite enjoy a little foray into l'Europe.

Eau Rouge. Red water - they're not referring to the blood spilt there, are they?

Definitely! As long as it's a bit noisy and you promise no pouring rain!
