Thinking of doing a trip to Spa and want to do some track time.

Does anyone know?

How do i find out when tourist days are on?
How do i go about getting on track (Is it like the ring)?
How much it is?
Helmet?
dB?

Cheers
Nick

There are no tourist days at Spa

Most of the main trackday operators do days there. Expect to pay circa £300/day.

No noise restrictions,

If you hit the barriers you pay for barrier repairs!

I done one with GoldTrack a couple of months back, what a place. Think it was £329 for a day with a open pit lane.

Spa is certainly one track i hope to go back to many more times in the future.

I was also there with Goldtrack a couple of months ago and it was a fantastic day, its well worth getting 20 mins with an instructor, it made me go faster and safer and made the day so much better.

Done it twice now. Amazing circuit, plenty of tarmac runoff if you get it wrong (in some areas) Definitely worth doing.

As others have said, its very very good.

Don't worry about the db, it varies day to day but is basically unsilenced.

Circuitdays have 2 days on 5th 6th October for £249.

I think it's Goldtrack, BookaTrack, Circuit Days, and RMA that do Spa of the GB operators.

It really is the most unbelievable circuit. Eau Rouge, Pouhon, Stavelot, and Blanchimont are all just epic corners.

The only thing i'd say is Spa is famour for its inclement weather, so whilst you can never guarantee i'd stick to June/July/August if you can.

Yeah we're there on circuit days October dates. Ferry crossing from hull if you want to do the ring on the Sunday or crossing from Dover instead. Done the track before & it's awesome, much less daunting than the ring but just as special IMO.
Log on to www.circuit-days.co.uk for details on the circuit
