Ok this is probably a logistics nightmare but... after chatting to a few other owners today and to others previously, it seems more than a few of us pop over to Spa and the Ring during the year.
So how good would it be to get those interested together there at the same time ??
Obviously this is just a tentative enquiry to see if there's enough interest to take it any further.
It would be for next year, when the weather has a better chance of being kind to us, and over a few days at either venue or both combined.
Any comments/thoughts ?

Steve

I'm there too! Every year i want to go but just never get round to it, so if there's a chance to go in Noble convoy well, it's an opportunity not to be missed!

Ok. I don't think the Ring callender is available for 2010 yet ? Just for those who have not been to the nurb before, a few days (5) there last year cost most of us that went, in excess of £800 for the whole trip so bear this in mind.
I know RobP uses book a track when he goes to Spa so if he gives them the thumbs up maybe we can book through them ?
Again looking at their days for next year, a day there is around £300.
I am hoping to maybe find a weekend available at the ring with a Spa day on the Monday so that any one wishing to participate can book for either or both,any one with any ideas please jump in at any point !!

Hi Steve - yeah, I go to Spa every year with BaT. Simply the best circuit in Europe (imho). BaT usually do 2-3 weekends per year at Spa and the first next year is 27/28th March (Sat/Sun). You could do Spa on Sat and head down to Ring for Sunday. Personnally, I think weekends at the Ring are a bit crazy esp for comparative newbies to track driving. Might be better to look for open public days in the week and work around that.

Yes the weekday evenings when I went we were almost on our own for the whole laps which is so different to the tourist days at the weekend !
Maybe try to arrange a Sat or Sun at Spa with the Fri or Mon at the Ring ?

I agree that not going on a public/weekend day would be best, Not good letting us lot out at a busy ring together. yikes

The Friday and/or the Monday means minimal time off work but still time for a good play and hopefully Spa on the Saturday or Sunday.
It would be good to have something to look forward to the other side of all this cold dark and wet stuff.

Unless it clashes with a race weekend, you can count me in for both Spa & the 'ring!

I may well be going just for the drive also. Don't think it will be anywhere near those costs just for the drive.
