Spa LMES date 2005

[Broady88]

Is anybody able to confirm the LMES dates for next season please, specifically Spa. According to the info I have British F3 is supporting at all rounds and according to the F3 website they are at Spa over the weekend of 16/17 April 05. Would like to be making arrangements to go but reluctant to do so without confirmation, hence this plea.
Any input on reasonable places to stay also gratefully received

BF3 is supporting ALL LMES rounds next year.

The Spa date is correct

Theres a hotel called Ferme Libert in Malmedy (I think). Stayed there for this years 1000km. About £40 a night for me and my Dad. The food is fantastic, and plenty of blokes from various teams were staying. I'm tempted to go again myself. I'll find you the details if you like?

According to DSC this morning:

April 16-17 Spa-Francorchamps
July 9-10 Monza
August 13-14 Silverstone
September 3-4 Nurburgring
October possible 5th event

Spa and Nurburgring clash with ALMS dates (can't remember which right now). Poor scheduling that. Surely they can work it out between themselves, since both championships are run by or with the ACO

Thanks very much everyone who replied. Appreciate it. We'll see you at Eau Rouge for Qualifying!!

Yeah, because all the team would just have enough budget to hop across the Atlantic to do both, wouldn't they?!

I really don't see what the problem is. If you're a European team doing the LMES, what's the big deal if the American teams race on the same weekend?

Could make a great day's TV viewing though.
