You know I don't make decisions that quick

Good stuff Lovegroova! Ring is best done afterwards I think. A few guys last year didn't make it to Spa from Ring issues IIRC!

Eekins, i'd love a go in one of those V6's. Get yourself there in the S though
Dare I say it's my favourite car so far *runs and hides*

I will be doing a Euro road trip some time next year for sure so may well make it around this.

It says on the Bookatrack site

"We'll also benefit from the use of the F1 facilities and the enormous garages can be reserved on the booking form."

That's about the March date but I guess it will be the same. I'm hoping they'll do July as two separate days because I don't really want to spend

As far as I can see, it's a "both days only" booking at present. Garages are available at

I'm garaged up with one of the Exige guys. I will ask Jonny (BAT) about the garage situation. If it's not the F1 ones, the normal ones are still very big.

I still really want to do this but this year it's unlikely again.

Too many other things coming up so I wouldn't be able to commit until the last minute and then it'll be too late.

Hmm, sounds tempting. The other half had offered to buy me a place in March for my birthday after liking Anglesey so much so I guess I can wait until July.
What would most people be doing? Driving over in convoy in their cars or flying over and using a BatCat?

Hmm, this has just got complicated for me.

My mate has managed to acquire 2 paddock passes courtesy of Honda for the MotoGP at Donington which is on the 25th/26th weekend, so we're going to have to get from Donington to Spa on the Sunday afternoon evening.

7 hours drive according to Google Maps...

Graham, I got lucky and nipped in last year. It will get booked up v quick, but if you're sharp you can snap up a cancelled slot!

Ninja, I will be driving over with an Exige mate, and no doubt some people from here

Lovegroova - don't let me down Is someone coming with you? Could share the drive. It's not a hard drive.

Mark, sharing the drive isn't the problem, it's getting out of Donington that is. Lots of horror stories about that. I'll ask the MotoGP regulars and see if we can sneak a pillion ride from someone.
