So I've been to Le Mans for the last 3 years and next year I want to carry on the racing by going to the Austrian GP which is the following weekend. The plan is to leave Le Mans on the Monday morning after the race and arrive in Spielberg for the pit walk on Thursday. So that leaves 3 days to drive over to Austria so need some places to stop for the nights.

I'm travelling with my girlfriend and she fancies stopping a night in Zurich and in Munich so was thinking Zurich on Wednesday night then Munich on Thursday night but I need to find somewhere in between Le Mans and Zurich as that is over a 7 hour drive.

On the way back from Austria I want to stop at the Nurburgring and maybe Spa then Brussels and Bruges before back to Calais.

This is my plan for now:

Thursday 11 AM - Calais > Le Mans
Thursday 11 PM - Le Mans
Friday 12 AM - Le Mans
Friday 12 PM - Le Mans
Saturday 13 AM - Le Mans
Saturday 13 PM - Le Mans
Sunday 14 AM - Le Mans
Sunday 14 PM - Le Mans
Monday 15 AM - Le Mans > ???
Monday 15 PM - ???
Tuesday 16 AM - ??? > Zurich
Tuesday 16 PM - Zurich
Wednesday 17 AM - Zurich > Munich
Wednesday 17 PM - Munich
Thursday 18 AM - Munich > Spielberg
Thursday 18 PM - Spielberg
Friday 19 AM - Spielberg
Friday 19 PM - Spielberg
Saturday 20 AM - Spielberg
Saturday 20 PM - Spielberg
Sunday 21 AM - Spielberg
Sunday 21 PM - Spielberg
Monday 22 AM - Spielberg > ???
Monday 22 PM - ???
Tuesday 23 AM - ??? > Nurburgring
Tuesday 23 PM - Nurburgring
Wednesday 24 AM - Nurburgring > Spa
Wednesday 24 PM - Spa
Thursday 25 AM - Spa > Brussels
Thursday 25 PM - Brussels > Bruges
Friday 26 AM - Bruges
Friday 26 PM - Bruges > Calais

Any recommendations for the missing legs and roads to take will be greatly appreciated.

One last thing, I will be driving in a newly built Westfield so will be packing light. Planning to camp at Le Mans but will buy cheap gear there and leave it. The rest will probably be hotels although may camp at the Red Bull Ring also. Any hotels will need private parking as the Westfield has no doors or roof!
