Some friends and I head to Spa and then the 'ring soon. We are in a convoy of 3 cars (Blue Griff, black 996TT, black Boxster) over a long weekend of 5,6,7,8 Aug. The main event is the AvD Old timer Grandprix, 30 years of classics racing on the new circuit and we'll be doing a few laps of the old one too !

Anyone else going ? Want to catch up there ?

Arrrg, miss you by a couple of days.

I'll be there for the weekday evening sessions 10-13th Aug as part of a family holiday that, ahem, just happens to be nearby to the Ring

didnt know the ring was open to the public on evenings during the week. thought it was just weekends.

where can I get details for opening times in the evening all the sites I looked at just listed weekends. May be able to get over there this year then after all Work comitments mean I cant do the weekends


edited cos I just found a link from ben lovjoys site looks like 5:15pm till 7:30pm most weekday evenings.

I'll be out on my bike with some chums 13th to 16th August and will be staying at Sliders.

If you see a fat bloke on a V reg Ducati 996 who answers to Ian, that'll be me then.

The Porsche has to stay at home until I learn to drive it properly...

Yep I've only ever been to midweek evenings.

It's much, much quieter than some of the weekend videos I have seen with the added bonus that all the other drivers are mostly local, so at least they know which way they are going and don't hold you up.

The CenterParcs angle sounds pretty neat. 'Dahling I'm just popping out for a takeaway', then return three hours later with hot Bratwurst and beer

and smoking brakes

I'll be there on the 14th & 15th - if you see a silver GT3 with a little PH sticker in the back window please say hello.
