Spa Francorchamps - 1st April

[DanielJames]

Morning!

Me and my pal have booked this trackday, we are on our way to the ring that day for Easter weekend so decided why not!

I'll be there in a modest Integra Type R, my mate's bringing his Seat Ibiza track car which has about 3x the peak torque of mine, so he'll probably leave me for dead!

Can't wait

Anyone else off?

[terenceb]

Possibly be there but DN is on for first and second at the Ring as well.I'll see how my bookings go.

[drakart]

Yes. I will be there with my girlfriend in her 991 GT3. First time driving at Spa for both of us. She wants to experience the track and I need to learn it for a race in September.

[doogalman]

I am there, however i will be instructing. Plus my son is there for his first ever trackday, guess who my first client of the day is.

[DanielJames]

Can anyone recommend us anywhere to stay? Will be needing 3 rooms or one large one with 6 or so beds.

Was going to book the Pitstop but they're fully booked now

A good friend of mine and his wife have a nice B&B a few miles down the road. He's a biker/car nut and allways make people very welcome, if you do say Roy from the Nurburgring sent you.

Mmm thinking of doing the same Spa then the ring. TVR Chimaera and what ever car my mate manages to bring/fix/buy.

[wuckfitracing]

Who did you book through.

[DanielJames]

2 weeks today!

I booked with Circuit Days.

[Dakkon]

I will be there on the 31st, hotel la Source is nice and close, we have also stayed at Hotel St. Gereon in Malmedy, which is about 7km from the circuit, lovely little town.

Snow forecast!

[spadriver]

Yep, according to Belgian weather stations.
Fine and sunny yesterday morning, lunchtime saw the arrival of that typical Arrdens mist-its called rain! Rivers were flowing in the usual places but at least they didnt freeze over.

I will endorse and recommend Neil and Anne having stayed with them last week for the BAT weekend. Had a fantastic stay as usual ! They'll even do an evening meal for you if required ! Brilliant ambiance for Pistonheads........... Enjoy !

Also try Hotel Beau-Site. Clean rooms, good price and decent food for the evenings.

[spadriver]

Also next door to the Beau Site youll find my Dutch friends place.600 year old farmhouse with Jan and Suzanne doi g an excelent job of looking after thier guests.Jan is also pretty handy in the kitchen.
Always used to stay at Beau Site, Rene being a very pleasant and welcoming guy.Brilliant wild boar when in season, never frozen!
A great place to stay and six minutes from the circuit.

[DanielJames]

It was a great day, I was tip toeing around in the Cerbera until it dried up! I went with a couple of mates, one in the Orange and black Caterham 260CSR and the other in the White 200SX.

Your DC2 looked lovely.
