I am pleased to be able to share part of an email I received this evening.



It's later in the year than usual, but it means that there will be some time to recover from the 20th anniversary trip to Turin in June.

It will shortly be announced officially, as soon as I have more info I will let you all know.

That's great news Pete , I'm going to put some mileage on my coupe in 2014 but will be worth it for the 20th anniversary 3 day meet in turin and spa .

Hooray finally ! that's fantastic.
It's a long way off but good news all the same.
our alternative plan must have forced their hand

Well done guys for persevering

Brilliant news, thanks Pete

Thats great news! Thanks for sharing Pete!

You're right Iain its going to be a heavy year on the Coupe!

Awesome!

Just booked hotel

Sounds excellent!

I'm in the middle of talks with the organisers now about costs.

It won't be as cheap as in 2012, but assuming we get 3 25minute sessions over the weekend, who wants to go and how much is the maximum you would be prepared to pay?

Looking at the Le Mans trip Joe organised this year the cost was £235.50. I hope to be able to get well below that but I do need to know likely numbers at each price break.

Please stick your names on a list indicating £150, £175, £200 or more than that.

But how much would you be prepared to pay Joe? I need figures.

Yes the same as Joe so around the £175 mark.

4. Kayjey £150 unless I can find a better paid job £200 (knowing I don't have to travel the channel)

Hi Pete,

Bearing in mind that at Spa's own track sessions >>Public Track Days << around £220(€260) you get 4 sessions. That is without any discount that could be negotiated for the club attending en masse. Based on that then IMHO £150 is the max we should pay for 3 sessions. I'll speak to the Spa Circuit again and see what discount they could offer to the club on their own public sessions. Might prove to be useful leverage in negotiations with the Spa Italia organisers or even a more viable option.
Good to hear you have negotiations are under way.

3. Maggoagain £175.
4. Kayjey £150

Also something to consider is a OPL day at Spa with Trackdays, September rates are £279.00 and you get to go on track as much or as little as you like.

Like LeMans this year a group booking would get a slightly better deal.

Trackdays Spa

Thanks for the input, but I am not simply negotiating track time, rather participation at a weekend event at an advantageous cost.

Any one with an Italian car will be able to go to the weekend as an individual but they will pay considerably more that way.

No problem Pete, thanks for doing the negotiations again

Hello boys
I will come from Italy, can I run with you on track?
Must I become an fccuk member?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gimmo,

Of course you can come on track with us, we run it for all coupe enthusiasts.

We welcome people from all over Europe, the more the better, usually about 50% come from mainland Europe.

No you don't have to join the club to come with us, but it may cost a little less if you do.

Hi Pete,

Thank you for taking up the negotiations on this So you know at LeMan last year we had unlimited track time for the price if that helps into the figuring.

I think its likely most people will elect to spend as little as possible to get onto the track if they can. But it all depends on the cost vs what we would get track time wise.
