SPA Trackday - Tuesday, 9th October 2012

[amazon]

Apologies for the possible duplication, but I think the last thread on this subject is buried somewhere or has perhaps gone 'off track' - either way, I can't find it......

So. I am planning to do this trackday with Circuit Days. Wondered if anyone fancies joining me? There is also a Nurburgring trackday event on the Monday, fyi.

From past experience, it's no good to leave this too late to book and I'm not sure how many spaces are left at this point even, but I need to make a plan. As with all these things, it is a group sport and I'd enjoy it much more with some mates! Single day price is £259.

Anyone else interested?

I think the other thread came to the conclusion that we'd go out late September, I seem to have a room booked at the blue oyster radisson 22nd-24th.

Yep, I think you're right Rog.

However, as much as I love being with the whole gang, I really want to do the track day if I'm going all that way, hence the new thread

I was also thinking that maybe I could grab a lift to make it possible to do the September trip as well .

For what it's worth I'll be at the Ring on Monday and Spa on Wednesday. Monday Tuesday back to back is just too hardcore for me.

Brilliant Nicky,

I was biting my lip about resurrecting this one but am very pleased to see that you have.

Like yourself, I would prefer to attend a Team effort but agree with ukkid35 that two consecutive days would be a little tough on me and Black Beauty so would prefer the Weds ???

[grahamn]

Hi Nicky,I'm in.

As for you others man up a bit we could do all 3 days, you can rest in the evenings.

[Mr Cerbera]

Not lettin' this one go to sleep

[Devil's Advocate]

I'm pretty sure I'll be ready for this (with one of my MR2 customers/ mates). Graham, that means I might have to miss out on your snoring!!! But we'll definitely be trying to keep up with "the mad one"...

[ukkid35]

Too late now, Spa is sold out Tuesday and Wednesday....

[Devil's Advocate]

Oh yes, so it would seem, although I only count 50 cars on the Weds (they normally allow for 60 IIRC) and only 18 on the Tues?!?!? I'll give them a shout... never say never...

DN are taking a number of the slots on Tuesday, hence only 18 attendees on Circuit Days.

It's usually worth turning up on sold out days, and you're fairly certain to get a half day (at half day rate) but fuel costs would make that prohibitive for Spa.

I'll keep you posted. I am sure we can sort something out

1 cerb, 3 griffs 2 T350's we leave on the Saturday with the ring booked for the Monday, Tuesday spent relaxing at the Radisson making use of the Spa facilities! followed by Wed on the track! Hope the weather is as good as last October although we will not have the added bonus of watching Mike kick some Porkie and Fezza butt this year! The Cerb is Simon's old car which we intend to test the top speed of on the way over! If its anything like last month and October the drive over ends up being more dangerous than the bloody track days
Look forward to seeing you all there!

i was there for four days with great racing and the temps into the 80's in October so was not to bothered at losing the first morning being a two day event![must of been the good company] and compared with some of the crazy micro climate weather you can get at Spa all in all one of the better Euro trips i've been on!
Guess i'm a kind of glass half full type of bloke
