Time table says:

TIMING 2014
Provisional Timing 05/03/2014

So we don't know the REAL timing, because this is old.
On SpaItalia site I haven't find newer infos

Don't you stay in camping?
I haven't yet booked, because I don't know if I will go to Parig before or after Spa+Ring

I'll try and keep this on track, coat

Q1. Has the Spa trip always been on or around this time of year?
Q2. What is the weather usually like?
Q3. What tyres should I be considering?

I have some Prada Spec 2's on my 17" rims with 25mm hubcentric spacers which are a great dry track/road tyre but scary in the wet; or some Goodyear Eagle F1's (V-groove) on standard 16" rims which are a good all rounder, decisions, decisions........

Please help me decide wink

I'm also considering taking out the back seats and carrying the 16" wheels as a spare set if it is wet?

Q1. Has the Spa trip always been on or around this time of year?

No it's normally earlier in the year.

Q2. What is the weather usually like?

Hot, but it's Spa so the place has it's own weather system so you'll be burning in the pits but then you'll get rained on all the way over by the Medical centre.

Q3. What tyres should I be considering?

Anything track rated as road tyres are eaten in only a few laps.

That's slightly annoying having already booked it a couple of weeks ago direct through DFDS and it was £60 return

Alexis, when you booked did you just get a simple conformation email with a bar code? i.e. An e-ticket of sorts? Looks very plain!
Or did they send you any thing?

Yeah Iain, I printed it off too, but it just looks too plain for an e-ticket, nothing like an airline ticket. I assume that's all we need, ohh and passport and beer money wink

You just need the reference number Pondman, I'm sure they have number plate recognition so you probably don't even need that.

I think we still need breathalyser kits for the transit through France, although I seem to remember reading somewhere that was being scrapped.
