Can't believe it, just realised the dates for June are on the weekend I'm working and my business partner has already booked the following week off....... I'm not bloody going in June... :-(

Looks like April and October for me with hopefully a DN day in between.



Very Pissed off Matty.

Drive down Sunday, Monday and Tuesday morning on Spa the pop off home... simple !

Tele,

Shame that hope you can find a way to go.

Alternatively, Circuit days look like they have moved their Nurburgring 700 track day to Monday 8th October & a probable tourist day or days on the Saturday/Sunday with 2 Spa days Tuesday 9th & Wednesday 10th again with Circuit Days.

I'm up for that I might even stay on for the Goldtrack days Spa days 15th, 16th October or come back & stay in Chelmsford for a few days frequent San, Bilash & 8 Ball Diner with Sumo then go back for a rest & recovery.

Lottery permitting...

Yeah, I'm definetly doing them Neil, even tempted to do Munich Beer festival just before that runs from 22nd September to 7th October

& of course the Chelmsford food festival that officially runs from the 11th to the 13th October.

Then back to Spa with Goldtrack for 15/16th for Gran Finale...

Great reply...

[funkybmx1]

Im there in march. Didn't fancy taking the noble again leave that till summer. So the other half has got me insured today on her st fiesta. Yeah boy. Gonna be like a boy racer . Hope use will all keep up with us

[FUNKSTER UK]

Yep, I'm definatley booked on the April 2nd circuit days for spa.
A few of us seem to be attending so far as the Ring is also open on the Sunday.

So far it seems to be

Neil Gti
ShaunSmith
FunkyBMX
Funkster

Probably an outstanding curry in Chelmsford on the Friday night followed by an early Saturday ferry heading to the pistenclause for a Sublime Argentinian steak before a play on the ring Sunday with a drive over to Spa in the afternoon / evening.
Up early Monday for an action packed waffe slaying session at Spa followed by a scrumptious evening deluge before a meander back on the Tuesday.

My kinda weekend :-)

Still unsure whether the Summer trip will work for me as working on the Saturday and the thought of trying to travel during a double Bank Holiday weekend with no ring open and a single day at Spa is struggling to appeal.

I'm just doing short trip Spa 2 dayer in June due to Ring not open around Spa dates. Hoping DN have 2 trackdays together at the Ring in July with touristdays hopefully surrounding them.

Gonna do a biggy in October instead of the usual big June bash. With perhaps 2 days at Munich Beer festival while in Germany not that I'm keen on beer although still get pissed, but the foods incredible & big fairground rides etc, then to Ring for Nurburgring 700 trackday for BTG record attempt, 2 chilled days at Spa. No doubt piss down every day........ If that is the case frequent attendance at the Pistenclause etc will be called for.

Days are numbered unless Government steps in even Donald Trump or Branson would see the money generated by the tourist & track days & perhaps step in. I wish...

Just looking at Ring calender later in the week on the April trip from the Friday 6th April to Monday 9th all full days from 8:00 am till 7:30 pm. I'm seriously tempted to stay on, 70/30 in favour this morning. If I do won't be doing Spa in June especially nil Ring action surrounding.

It's looking too the DN days are minimal this year plus the one they have later in year is lumped on with the Circuit Days N700 day in October which I'm focussing with the 2 Spa days, also Munich Beer n Munch Festival attendance just before, now concrete.

This could be last year of Ring as we know it. I'm coming down to Chelmsford mid February for a weekend to see Sumo it maybe a good idea to discuss tactics & itinerary in a couple of well respected venue's in the area with San & Bilash favoured at this time.

It's a worry Tel.

Right,

Seems to be like this ......

For anybody who's interested in the March/April Spa/Ring trip this is what we are booking/booked.

Ferry from Dover to calais
Out Sat 31st March 09:25
Return Tues 3rd April 16:05

Through Ferrysavers

Saturday night at the Dorint Nurburg after a Steak at the Pistenclause.
http://www.dorint.com/en/conference-hotel-seminar-...

Sunday at the ring leaving late afternoon for trip to Spa

Staying at the Spa radisson Blue palace hotel Sunday & Monday night
http://www.radissonblu.com/palacehotel-spa

With all day at Spa on the Monday booked through Circuit days
http://www.circuit-days.co.uk/tracks.asp

We will probably book a premiere inn for the Friday night at dover to save getting up early on Saturday to travel....... It's always a good excuse to go for a curry anyhow.

Some of us are already booked and some are currently booking but I believe there is less than 10 places left on the Circuit days website for Spa........It's a bit early in the year but I'm not sure how many will be going in June as the dates don't match up with any Ring days and it's a double Bank holiday weekend when it's on.

[Hollowpockets]

Trying to get my car sorted and mapped so I can book on for this, it's going to be cutting it close. :/

[FUNKSTER UK]

Keep at it Graham, I'm sure you will get there in time.

[mgbond]

As the Ring is closed when we were thinking of going 4-5th June. How about we do this as well as SPA?

Got my car booked in for mapping with Trevor on the 29th so will stay the Friday night aswell somewhere near Dover and booking onto the same ferry out as you lads, Tuesday I'll catch the Amsterdam-Newcastle route home to save me some miles though. Can't wait, better get booked onto spa as there's only 7 spaces now.
