Just wondering.

My brother and I are doing a road trip, Dover to Dunkirk, then Spa GP, Stuttgart (for Mercedes Benz World and Porsche), then Monza GP, short look round Monaco, then back home.

General admission tickets for the 3 days at Spa are only £130 and it’s not that far to drive! Cheap weekend away really. I can’t wait. I am a little concerned that we might not be able to fit enough camping gear and clothes into one VX220, but we’ll give it a go!

Tempted to get the car stickered up as well. Shame it's blue, if it was silver we could sticker it up as a McLaren rep! Blue would suit Red Bull graphics, but not really a fan! Still, may get some big PH smilies, some McLaren stickers, Union Jacks etc.

Also going to Monza GP, but not booked accommodation so taking camping gear and winging it. Anyone got any tips?

Spa is epic. The cameras cannot capture the scale of the track and the gradients of the hills. It's only 4 hours from the Eurotunnel too. I've done a track day there and I'll be going back next year again. Incredible place. F1 is amazing at such a fabulous circuit, you will love it. thumbup
