They have a record number of participants registered for 2012. So doesn't sound too bad.

The priority that the circuit sells time to event organisers is

1) Formula 1
2) Other race events
3) Other events, such as SpaItalia.

Taken fron the circuit website
Code
MAY
 - 5  6 Heures de Spa-Francorchamps WEC   
12 - 13  Porsche Francorchamps Days   
26 - 27  Spa Classic   
  
JUNE 
  
2 - 3  World Series by Renault   
9 - 10  BRCC    
16 - 17  Spa Summer Classic  
23 - 24  Spa Euro Race 
  APRIL 
  
31 March - 1  Trophée des Fagnes    
21 - 22  Bikers' Trophy (moto)   Link 
28 - 29  Spa Italia   Link 
  
MAY 
  
4 - 5  6 Heures de Spa-Francorchamps WEC   Link 
12 - 13  Porsche Francorchamps Days   Link 
26 - 27  Spa Classic   Link 
  
JUNE 
  
2 - 3  World Series by Renault   Link 
9 - 10  BRCC    
16 - 17  Spa Summer Classic   Link 
23 - 24  Spa Euro Race   Link 
  
JULY 
  
30 June - 1  Bikers' Classics (moto) 

]

So you can see that there were more track events than in previous years during May and June.

Record numbers sounds good, but from the exhibitors list you can count the number of De Tomaso's (for example) on one hand. To me, that's disappointing, but of course I'm still excited and hope it's just as good as last year.

Grrrr... just discovered that Green Flag (the original, with whom I have been a member for at least twenty years, not the recent Direct Line upstart of the same name) won't cover the coupe for continental recovery on grounds of age - over 15 years...

Channel Tunnel won't do it either, same reason.

Suggestions?

Talk to Sarah at Neil Willies Neil, I have continental and UK cover on my car through her company, and it's a bit older than yours.

About £65 a year if bought separately from insurance from memory.

There were loads. Ok, the Pantera was a 'featured' car for its 30th anniversary, but clearly the owners weren't inspired enough to register again for this year. I distincly remember there being a fair few Lamborghinis last year but only 4 on the exhibitor list this year.

At least there's lots of coupés going and we'll have a good laugh - i know i'm not a proper petrol-head, but to me this event is more a social occasion than car show, however much i like to see and hear the expensive machinery we saw last year drink

There are track passenger rides with Lancia Stratos, Alfa TZ1, Ferrari's,... and they have 15% more subscriptions than last year. I hope it's not just crazy Italians in Fiat Uno Turbo's. smile And all depends on the weather of course.

Probably due to the fact that i overtook most of them last year and they didnt like being beaten by a 15 year old coupe worth £1500 driven by a fat bald bloke.

Klaas those Uno drivers were nuts.Seen better driving on a Wednesday night in Halfords car park.

What's wrong with the car Marco?

Regardless of how you feel at the moment, at least experience Spa and what it's like.

Even as a passenger, it's good fun.

Gutted for you bab, but honestly the best thing for you would be to get away for a few days, you can always get the car sorted/broken/burned-out.

Beer is your friend for the next few days drink

Seriously the other issue is you were going friday weren't you? We're all down at Ashford thursday night so there's logistics issues.

No need to miss out though, there's loads of spare seats in cars - yes i have T with me so my axles are overloaded, but hey something's gotta break it eh? It's like transporting a bleedin great Hippo around but with less manners laugh
