Prepared the car today for Spa ;-)

Do you mean you put the sticker on or put the roof up Han? The forecast seems to be getting worse - when I checked earlier it was sleet for Friday but now it's changed to moderate to heavy snow and thunder

Forecasts are ALWAYS wrong, do you remember Scotland, we should have snow but only got sun instead ;-))

Might have the repack, taking the shorts out of the bag and adding waterproofs.

I changed my wheels with normal tyres on over on sunday for my spare set with R888`s on, think I might change them back now the weather is looking cold and possibly snowy

[Longers]

I was going to wash my car. I don't think I'll bother now but will use the time to add some more water sealant to the roof

No need , your roof will be in the boot ;-)

Assuming the forecast does turn out this bad, what's good tips to pack.
I don't mean a raincoat and hat,I mean any extra good tips people have used before ?
I have been to many events in the UK where it was wet, any good thoughts for this particular venue ?
There is to of us me and my 18 year old son and we are staying in a hotel and taking the Tuscan.
What essential may I have not thought of.

I have not packed sun cream and visor!

[HvdWeerden]

It will be cold , wet , humid , windy , snowy . Try wind and watertight clothes .

Test drive your car after the recent fix !

[motomatchless]

Last year, it was too warm even for walking,this time it will be perfect for going in the woods around the circuit.
Everytime we go to rainy england on holiday, we alway take our rubber boots and raincoats and we rarely have to use them.
So, just be prepared for the worst and you will see that ...............
Cross fingers.
Christian.

Rain X on the inside of your windscreen so you don't mist up. Other than that as long as you are warm and dry you'll be fine.

The grandstands are open so you can shelter there if necessary.

But let's be positive, whatever happens it cannot be any wetter than the 2011 Nurburgring Oldtimer GP

Kev, it was bad enough staying in a warm dry hotel, I can't imagine what it was like for you in a tent...
