Spa 02-03 October 17

Hi Guys
I booked on these 2 days last night, never been to Spa before, is anyone else going ????
Looking to tag along with someone if possible, also not sure about accommodation any help would be great.
It's going to take me a while to get to Folkstone, so will stay over the night before.

 

I live in Plymouth (Devon )

are you doing both days ???

 

I stayed a couple of times in a hotel overlooking to channel, it was just somewhere to put my head down, twin room was £28, breakfast was included but wouldn't serve at 5am , had to catch the train at 5.40 am.

Have you booked a place to stay down in Spa ????

 

Cheers Jamie
Looks good so booked but i have the opportunity to cancel

Are you going ?????

 

It is with Circuit days http://circuit-days.co.uk/track-days-schedule-spa-francorchamps
I paid £279 for each day plus i booked tuition for the first day

 

Jamie if you don't mind would you let me know when you book, if you are coming from Scotland are you driving straight down there or do you stay over the day before ??? do you use the tunnel or ferry ????

 

Wow that's going to quite a trip.

Cheap and cheerful, with a really great sit down chippy around the corner and it has a bar

 

I'm having a stop over in Folkestone to be nice and fresh for the drive down to Spa the following day, not been before so don't want to be tired.

 

Just come back from 2 days at Spa (4th & 5th) it was epic loved it, can't wait till October, got it all on video, had a couple of scares once when someone dumped there coolant in the braking area at the end of the straight and another when a Cateram dumped fuel on Pouhon.
Will put up video when i can

 

Hi Sam
Eau Rouge was okay once i had a couple of goes at it, for me it was a quick dab of the brakes before the dip, just as it starts to go right plant the throttle and don't lift

I was stuck up the exhaust of a M3 and the idiot braked mid corner, i had to brake and it upset the car big time

Pouhon, was okay a bit scary for the first couple of goes, building up more and more confidence each lap, ended up roughly entering around 90 mph and exiting at just over 115 mph (rev limiter 4th gear) in the end, don't know if that's good or not but i was happy make sure you rear tyres are up to temp before throwing it into this one

Blanchomont, tried in 4th and 5th, kept it flat out from Stavelot up to there quick dab on the brakes and mash the throttle and don't lift, not sure what was faster, but the green stuff just the other side of the rumble strips is quite slippery.

Just take your time and build up your speed gently, don't let yourself get pushed harder than you want to go into corners do your own speed.
And have fun

 

Come and say hello you wont miss an Orange Megane out there

 

I am at the ring but on Monday the 16th it's a trackday , might go before, was thinking 3rd, 4th and the 5th of June

 

I was thinking of staying out there for both events, but two weeks in hotels is going to be a bit expensive

 

Would be great to meet up, see you there

 

link please, as i cant find anything for those dates

 

I like this one, Porsche getting the blue flag cus i am coming through
