Spa Francochamps

[MadeInEngland]

A few of us are going to Spa for the Classic Racing in May and will be staying over for a few days afterwards. Any suggestions as to what might be worth visiting, good roads etc. all within a 150 -200 mile radius. Don't mind hotel hopping within reason.

Will watch with interest, racing the Caterham there in October

I'll also be at the Spa Classic and will be popping across to the Nurburgring.

Apart from the appeal of the circuit itself there are some great roads from / to Spa and in the surrounding area.

Calendar for the Nordschleife is still to be fully confirmed but my plan is to go to the Ring after 30 minutes doing laps of Spa on the Saturday lunchtime (mainly qualy at Spa on the Saturday and you can see all the same cars racing again on Sunday). If the Ring is open for public laps, great. If it isn't because something is racing there, great I'll watch that!

An early steak at the Pistenklause, then a sunset drive back to the Spa hotel for some beers.

I can think of worse ways to spend a Saturday in May
