Ah.

Most seem to be C4s. Only looking with a passive curiosity at present.

I've done Spa classic a few times it's great, less commercial, less busy, and a lot cheaper than Le mans Classic which has gotten a bit crazy now imo.

I've done it in the Rocket and my Croc both fun in their own ways on the fantastic local roads around Spa, sadly most of the journey there is dull as st and busy so a bit of good planning is required depending on what you are in.

Indeed, I'm thinking maybe a Boxster or Elise for fun but 'easy' roof off cruising

It's worth it to experience Belgian driving, which is incredible.

And a stop off in Ypres.

Did Spa 6 hr Classic last couple of years (last year in the SL which was perfect for the trip).
If the Classic is at all similar then it's amazing up close access with incredible metal and the only hooligans are out on track.

Just about to book up this as a change to LeMans this year: Zandvoort Historic Grand Prix

Looks really good with a great selection of racing from Masters F1 and Sportscars through to proper DTM (E30 M3 etc.)

I did the Monterey Classic (I think it was called) at Laguna Seca back in 2007 (as this blurry picture shows hehe), and I'd thoroughly recommend it. Plenty to see with all the Pebble Beach and Quail concourse shows, classic racing and just driving around Monterey, PCH and Northern California generally. thumbup

Just book the Spa classic on a whim before reading this thread. Live in the Netherlands so going down for a few hours - 30 euro. Nice.

And brilliant. Spa's historic events are many times better than the GP weekend for a whole host of reasons.
