Well thats a porky about selling out 2-3 months in advance, I booked on the Spa day just 2 weeks before we went in October. smile
Are you confusing this Circuit Days itinerary with Goldtrack?

The Circuit Days track days are very good but have more cars attending in comparison to Goldtrack that is why there is a price difference. The Goldtrack days seem to have more Porsche's etc which is always a bonus for walloping purposes...smile

Signing on, Goldtrack have a seemingly unlimited supply of chocolate eggs to enjoy!!!

Simon, there are some notable omissions like Sumo & Granty, I'm wondering if they are planning there own Essex type onslaught on the 'Waffe'.

The recession's bad enough in the Eiffel & the Ardenne regions, way may have to notify the surrounding Restaurants especially if Sumo isn't attending...

On fear of Essex being slandered for failing to produce vehicles on track I will look into joining you although i wont know till early next year, finances etc and whether i still have the car - are there any rules in the nobility about selling your noble before its gone round Spa ? Would that add value....???????

Not sure if it adds value, but both it and its driver gain lots of Kudos points, especially if the Waffe are bashed both on the track and at the willy waving face off at the Raddison....

I don't think the Waffe will be as confident or arrogant in the Radisson when we all turn up next year. Didn't some Waffe cars claim to have 700+ bhp, by early evening after track day shed over 200???

sounds like a pretty good case for keeping the car and begging/borrowing enough cash to go then......

I never been to SPA. What is the schedule for the day? How many times can you go out on the track and for how long? Is there a limit in terms of how many cars are on the track at any given time?

Absolutely, will be booking the days and ferrys next month hopefully, Already got my holiday sheet In for getting off work. Can't wait!

Just checked the latest info for Nurburgring opening times and it won't be open any of the days before or after the goldtrack spa dates 4th+5th June, so its a spa trip and a separate ring trip for me this year! bummer

There will be few of us doing the Destination Nuburgring/Ringweekends track days in the Summer not had confirmation from them for any dates yet. Last year they had two days together in April & same in July with tourist days surrounding them dates, hopefully same this year.

Don't think the Tourist days past May have been fully released yet so hopefully they maybe days surrounding the June Spa dates. Still a few of us doing the above regardless.

Can't believe it, just realised the dates for June are on the weekend I'm working and my business partner has already booked the following week off....... I'm not bloody going in June... :-(

Looks like April and October for me with hopefully a DN day in between.
