Default Track Day: Spa Francorchamps - Mon 6th & Tue 7th July *

I am making my annual trip to Spa Francorchamps in July. This year, it's a two day event once again.

To book, visit the Bookatrack website: http://bookatrack.com/ it costs £850 at the moment, rising to £995 at some point and places usually go quickly.
  • Yes, it's very expensive, but the number of cars is limited to 100, which is fewer than you will get at many UK track days on circuits half the length of Spa. So if you don't want to come because of the cost, there is no need to post here, feel free to enjoy the plentiful much cheaper days elsewhere.

  • If you don't like the circuit, that's fine but there's no need to post.

  • Noise limit is 107dB, so this should be ok for pretty much everyone!

  • Fuel is available at the track - you can pay by credit card for this as the station is unattended.

  • I will be staying at the Radisson Blu Palace hotel in Spa http://www.radissonb...palacehotel-spa other, cheaper hotels are available.
  • I'm booked on the 12.20pm train out of Folkestone if anyone wants to convoy from there.

Attendees:
  1. LG
  2. Highside
  3. Capt A

Here's a nice video of an S2000 lapping the circuit:

Simon is the event using the F1 pits? I also see you have booked a garage, I'll go halves with you if in F1 garages.

Been looking on the website, but can you confirm what you get for the cost?
Is it just 2 days track access, or does it include garages, travel or accommodation as well?

That is just the two track days. A garage costs another £100 per day, but that can be shared between us as the garages are huge.

You'll need to arrange transport across the channel and accommodation and pay for your fuel.
