Spa Francorchamps and Zandvoort 2014

[ian harvey]

Kev,

Happy New Year mate. I'm not really on the fence on this one, I definitely want to do Spa but probably not Zandvoort. I'm working on a co-pilot (not essential) and making sure I don't double book with the family holiday! Wish me luck. Spa is definitely an ambition of mine and a few days away with you lot should be fun.

Ian.

Just jesting Ian, would be great to have you along, up the yorkies!

Having spoke to Jonny at Bookatrack, it's only possible to access garages on the track days i.e. between 7.30 am and 6 pm. So, it's not possible to drop off trailers the night before or collect the morning after. These are the circuit rules and because it's a busy time of year, the garages are likely to be in use the day before and after an event.

ETA - just got another free garage at Spa for Hugh and OJB signing up. []

Hi Guys, I am booking for Spa. Hopefully there will be no snow in July.

Likely we will stay at the Radisson Blu Palace Hotel.

Steve, can you let me know what the garage situation is.

[Alexander_Drobik]

Indeed as us GT3 folks are very sensitive, anyway the GeorgeV is too far away......

Yes, it's filling up fast, 3 x GT3 from our way have just booked (Mike from Sportsandclassic and friends).

Should still be room at our place but difficult to say how long that will last.

Extra Garage at Spa

Since the free garages, for early bookings, are full, Alex Drobik has booked an extra garage (number 14). Anyone that wants to share the cost of a garage should contact Alex. Posting here should do it. []

 

[Melv]

[Steve Brookes]

Guys only a few places left now on the Spa track day and only one place left for Zandvoort. Anyone still thinking about going should book ASAP.

 

[Melv]
