So it is the annual trip to Spa, as per last years visit this is through Gold track. Gold track was chosen as the provider again this year due to the clientele and numbers on track. Steve has spoken to Melindi and managed to get a good deal but you need the link that was sent to him in order to get the discount as not through standard site. Trackday is listed at £299 per day and you can do either day/both. Garages this year are the endurance pits so only 1 car per garage at £60 per day. We always stay in the radisson blu balmoral, starting at €105 per night including breakfast. In the town of Spa. Hope to see some of you there. Tel
The pit garages are not really worth it IMO, We didn't bother with them as they are tiny. Save you 60 quid for some tuition I would recommend the Rad Blu Palace over the Balmoral though, Closer to the town centre and it has a Spa lol Plus its just over the road from the Titti twister bar LOL
Jamie, thanks for the advice, we always take garages just to store our kit. Problem with Spa is its micro climate so cannot guarantee dry weather! For 4 yrs always stayed the same hotel, yes it is a walk to town but means it is quiet and good parking. Are you up for joining us?
Last time i was there it was torrential rain, Just manned up. I can see why they would be handy for storing stuff though, I was lucky in that the TD i done we had 40 odd cars alone attend from a forum i use so there were plenty vans etc for storage. Palace has parking out front plus underground fyi, I would love to but it is too early in the year for me. I probably won't be out til later in the year
We will have one between all of us just to put the gear in, JB will need one to himself for the amount of wheels and gear he takes
Gutted, I'd love to tag along on this. Was hoping/planning to get a trip in like this next year, well that was until I bought my first house last month. That's sucked my trip funds away. Probably wise though, think I'll concentrate on getting a few more UK track days done in 2015 build up some more experience in the Megane, only manage to squeeze one day in last yer (only one in the Meg) im sure there will be people going in 2016? Lol
Stayed here last time we did spa. Basically at the circuit entrance, brilliant rooms (got a free upgrade to the Jim Clark suite). http://www.hotel-de-la-source.com/en/hotel/presentation
Does look a nice hotel that .. Looked rather expensive when we drove past last year , how much is it per night ?
Love it there always stay there normally, can be cheaper than you would think John normally £100-£130 a night.

What's the "good deal" cost over the £299 with Gold Track?? I have already booked for the 16th (staying at La Source Hotel) and then onto the Nurburgring for a week!! If the discount is enough might also do the 15th? Cheers R26Man
Hi Steve, Just noticed that you were posting on this....what's the discount you have with Gold Track for Spa? I am booked for the 16th at Spa so will hopefully meet up with you there but might do the 15th aswell depending on discount. Are you doing a garage share? Car is in to K-Tec this week for Airtec intercooler upgrade, de-cat turbo back 3" exhaust system, dyno test, K-Tec short shift and a service. Planning on Brands Hatch this weekend after the mod's to run the car. Cheers R26Man
