I'm going to be at Assen for the MotoGP on 26 & 27th June next year. Provisional plan at this stage is to stay between Assen and Spa on Sat 27th after the race with a view to seeing something at Spa on the Sunday 28th, the some track time at Nurburgring on the Monday (assuming it's open!).... Google map says 3.5 hrs from Assen to Spa and MotoGP will be finished by 3pm.... I suppose it's a bit optimistic to get to Spa in time for the start of the Britcar race!
Do you know what time the Britcar race is likely to start at Spa? Is it normally part of a weekend of racing i.e. will there be something happening on the Sunday.....?
Cheers for anything you can add!

The Spa timetable hasn't been published yet - and it might be some time before it is. On the basis that this is currently billed as a night race, I would expect it to start between 6pm & 7pm - but, I have to admit, that I'm speculating.
Usually, the Spa meeting is a 2 day meeting. Last year it was shared with Dutch Supercar & Spanish Open International GT, among others.
If you do go, be sure to come and say hello.

Pretty sure we'll be there on the Sunday, dunno if we'll get down from Assen in time on the Saturday though but will give it some thought. However I'm sure the couple of motorbikes in our group will be able to zip through the traffic in time
Plan was to get halfway from Assen to one Spa/Zolder/Nurburgring (depending what's on where) on Saturday late afternoon or early evening after MotoGP finished and to complete rest of journey to arrive at one of them Sunday morning for a days racing.
Google map says 3.5hrs from Assen to Spa. God, I'd love to watch some night racing there, gotta be worth trying IF we can get out of Assen carparks without delay....

Certainly will Longers
As far as I'm aware:
Barwell/Beechdean will be running at least one DBRS9 driven by Andrew Howard and Jamie Smyth and possibly a second. They also plan to run 2 GT4 cars (N24's).
Chad are looking for drivers for their F430.
CR will no doubt be back out in their Ferrari, but I had heard rumour of an R8 but I wasn't aware that these will be ready in time unless its a non-factory built car so not sure.
Brunswick were looking to run an N24 in GT4, and I believe that Stratton Motor Company also have a car that might make an appearance in GT4.
ABG have sold the Viper I believe and got a KTM Xbow which is going to run in GT4 - the name of the driver they've been testing skips my mind, raced in Porsche Cup I think?
Not sure if there is a proposed entry list though. I think it might be difficult to forecast until almost the first round - I'm sure its going to be tough for a lot of people to find the money this year.
