looking to go this year to Spa classic, never been before so looking for travel advice from Yrokshire Hull or Dover, camping V's B&B. Also got to do the parade lap, Spa looks fantastic.
Any advice/experience/recommendations received with thanks.

brilliant trip, fastrack is run by Longers on here, he does some excellent trips.

you can get on track for 20-30 minutes as well.

Definitely go with Longers Fastracktours, you'll have the time of your life.
Top organisation, route planning, good company (so much more fun with a bunch of like-minded souls ) & a good craic.

And the track laps are a must, Spa is a brilliant spectator circuit, but awesome to drive it as well.
We had 30 mins on track at the 2012 Classic, to get an idea, visit the S Series forum on here, click on the "Events" Wiki, and then click on AutoAndy's link on the first entry. It's a short but enjoyable clip.

Our trip was all the better for having the weather gods on our side.
Sunshine at Spa? Unbelievable!

Whilst you're there , it's not too far to visit Nurburgring for the obligatory lap(s) of the "Green Hell". If you're feeling lucky......

Dover- Calais ferry is cheapest crossing: - earlybird discounts available if you book soon,
Eurotunnel more expensive but quicker & easier.
Yer pays yer money & yer takes yer choice.

HTH, have a fantastic trip

I agree with the above, it was a great trip well organised and a good price. Well worth doing

[venusdimilo]

We did this last year. Fantastic week-end. The weather was pretty miserable on the day of our parade laps but that didn't dampen our spirits. You must take time to walk around the circuit, as you approach each corner it seems even more dramatic than the last. Definitely to be done again, hopefully in the dry.

Excellent weekend, we have always camped, site is OK and only a 10 min drive away from the circuit.

If you can get on track do so here is my laps from 2011.

Yes Fastrack did a great job last year i went as it was back to back with Zolder last year which is a great event as well but they are different dates this year
Recommend it big time.
