Well that was a first - track day in the snow! It snowed from lunchtime until about 3pm, didn't settle anywhere just wet but blasting up the Kemmel with snow blowing across the track was an experience.

Was really struggling on a drying drack in the morning but got my head sorted out for the afternoon and preferred it when it was fully wet. As usual at Spa some amazing cars and a top day. Hats off to the Cerb owner for being out too - came to find you later in the afternoon but no luck. I'm not brave enough to take mine to Spa!

Heavy fog and snow in the trees at the top of the hill near the airport.

1st track day in the snow. My little old Clio hardly seemed fazed so just cracked on. Was great fun, kudos to the guys in powerful real wheel drive stuff that stayed out there but was very much advantage FWD.

We had a brilliant day on Thursday. The weather was not exactly perfect but we had a huge amount of fun!





More action photos and videos to follow on my build thread once my friends have sent them over.

Didn't see your reply till now. Was that the black vx?

Had a great couple of days, if a bit cold!

Agreed a bit slippy in the morning but the afternoon was great fun, was out in the red civic most of the afternoon till I got the oil a bit hot at 4ish 😂

Was yours the major annoying stoppage at about 3.30-4.00? Proper killed the momentum of the day 😂

Bin that pile of old junk and get yourself a sub 1k eBay Clio that goes all day and runs rings around assorted exotica in the less than summery conditions.

That explained the tape on the bonnet.

As for rust, don't think you could beat our trio on that front!

Had a great day and first time at Spa - certainly won't be the last.
