Circuit days are holding a track day at Spa on 19th and 20th Oct, I am signing up as are a few friends and just wondered if anyone on here would fancy it.

If the day can't go ahead then a credit note for the full value will be issued that can be used against any Circuit Days event.

Group discount if you book up on the phone and say you are part of the Gruffalo Group.

Would be great to have a big Cerbera turnout, so far we have 3 attending but more thinking about it.

I might be interested.
Currently booked to visit Angouleme for "Circuits des Remparts" in September. If this doesn't go ahead due to travel restrictions, then might consider Spa...It is a fantastic circuit.

So far joining our group it sounds like we have confirmed,

1 x Cerbera for both days,
2 x Cerbera for one day
1 x Tuscan for both days
2 x Lotus for both days
1 x Tesla model 3 Performance both days
1 X BMW E46 M3
1 X Cerbera no days just along for the beer.

Possibles a A110 a few more E46's an MX5 and a few others, this should be a laugh.

Thinking of staying here https://www.domainelongpre.be/en/facilities, cheap and does the job.

Do they allow track day silencing cans?
£380 for the track day plus costs means I'll have to be out for this year. frown

I'll be joining you, probably for both days, although I haven't actually booked yet

I have a reservation in Spa close to the railway station from Saturday to Wednesday - £200 total

Would be good to do some karting as well, the track at Stavelot corner is great fun

Do you have a ref for that Hotel, Paul ?
Even if I can't afford the TD, I owe you Guys a thousand beers so it'd be good to catch up beer

Ta !

It's just a single studio apartment, I haven't stayed there before but at €55 a night it sounds like a bargain

However, there is a hotel fairly close that I've stayed in several times that is fine, it has a motel feel - Hotel La Reine (le Pierre under previous management)

There is also a B&B where I've stayed countless times called Herberg Chatoiment, which is behind the Radisson

Problem is both are significantly more expensive than they used to be, Pierre was €80, Herberg Chatoiment was just €46 (before they fitted central heating!)

Better value is AU49, also nearby with good reviews, but I've not stayed there

I would be quite tempted in the summer, but I like my creature comforts, even though I'm cheap

It won't be ideal missing out on the social, but if there's a few of us in Spa then it should be practical to share a taxi
