Best place to book a day at Spa?

[patmahe]

Hi All,

I've decided a track day at Spa is something I'd dearly love to do. Who organises the best track days at this circuit.

Do you need to be driving a supercar or will something more ordinary do (say a sub 10 second to 60mph car), I'm wary of large speed differentials on the quicker parts of the circuit? Are there specific days for slower cars?

Thanks

Pat. Have a look at this for starters. http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f...

Circuit Days (UK TDO) are there in April this year. I went last year and had a great time. Hope to go again this year.

Personally I didn't find speed differentials a problem because it's a wide track with good overtaking.

Great stuff thanks, will probably be after April before I'm ready for it, but even if its early 2014 before I manage it I don't mind. Was worried about the speed differential though, I can't afford to track andything with supercar pace

Thanks for the input guys.

You will have a great time Pat. Most cars will thrill on the twisty stuff. Eau rouge at anything over 80mph is great fun. Just make sure the car is up to it.

Ding on the car prep, Spa is the only circuit that I have ever had mechanical issues on!

Bookatrack or Gold Track.

Both times I've been to spa were with Gold track and would recommend them

Goldtrack or Circuit Days, both good operators, if the track is dry it's plenty wide enough to not worry about speed differetials and in my experience if the track is wet the supercars are the one's doing the holding up...

I have just booked to go to the Spa Classic at the end of May through Travel Destinations. I went to the Le Mans Classic last year with them and would thoroughly recommend them. The point is for £99, you get 30 minutes on track! Not quite a trackday, but may be a good way to learn the circuit and a great weekend anyway.

Just a thought!

To be honest, there is a small element of what you are driving biasing which TDO will be best for you. Goldtrack traditionally get the most race machinery, Bookatrack the usual mid range track day spread (Caterhams to GT3s) and Circuit Days get lots of stripped and caged track toys (old golfs and M3s). Those are trends though, everything is welcome and does show up to all 3, but in my experience that is where the balance is. I've used them all and would recommend them all though, so which of them has the most convenient dates for you is likely the one to go with.

There is a company in Belgium that ran a Spa track day when I was there in 2011. Compared to British TDO's they are a lot cheaper and you get a few sessions during the day. www.mecaevents.be

Hi - I am in a similar situation to Pat - planning on first Spa track day later this year, just working out who to go with. Anyone used RSR? They seem to have the most days. In particular keen to understand if any of the organisers allow more or less cars than others (assuming open track day). Thanks.

I think the judging by the weather out there at the moment a ski tour operator may be the best place to book.

In seriousness thought Book a Track, Goldtrack and Circuit Days are regular visitors.

Goldtrack always been fantastic .

Back there in June with them

I've booked the Goldtrack day on April 20th with a few friends.
