I might well be up for this

The Brits are coming!!

If project *** & *x* is alive then I'll be there.

Sure you will have managed a rebuild by then Matty

With all these Brits on the continent some of you will just have to join in, at least in part, on the Fiat Coupé Club Grand Tour

Hi guys,

i'm back with some good news. the french coupe club i represent is planning the meeting for our club.
Like last year, we will propose for our members the accomodation (hotel or camping), and of course the bookings (tickets, track sessions, grande parade etc...)

So if you are interested, we can plan it for you too, like we did in 2008.

For the moment we have found a potential hotel which could grant us some good prices with a good quality of service.

I have also contacted the organisators of Spa Italia to know the cost of some track sessions rentings.

If we get enough bookings, we will rent the track like we did this year.

So add your name to the list.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I gather you're in regular discussion with petep in any case so it's all good.

I would really only be going if there is track time due to the fact that i have to trailer the car there in the first place. So for me it is imperative, unless someone wants to foot the bill of course.

Marco there will definately be unrestricted track time there: In 2008 there were about 4 hours a day.

What still has to be sorted is the Fiat Coupe only track sessions, again in 2008 there were 3 or 4 hours over the weekend.

Some news...

As you know, the french coupe club is planning a meeting at Spa like we did last year. Some of you were there (barmybob, petep...) and had some good times.
I am representing the FIAT COUPE CLUB NORD as the president and we will propose some accomodations and disctractions for our members. We are ready to propose you the same things.

I am in touch with the SPA ITALIA organisator, and after many emails, they are ready to book us some track sessions. These track sessions are 30 minutes long, and take place on saturday and sunday (morning and afternoon).
We planned to book 2 sessions (1 on saturday, and the last one on sunday). The price is 4250€ ; in exchange they give us 60 entrance tickets which are valuable for the whole weekend (price : 55€ each).

As we are not sure that we could get 60 subscriptions, and as our club can't pay, we changed our mind.

We are proposing you one track session on satuday june 13th (4 - 4:30 PM). the price is 1755€. we will get 30 free entrance tickets.

So we are looking for 30 participants. It will cost you 60€ for the weekend (entrance + track session). i think it is a very good price ! the track session will just cost you 5€ !

For the moment, we have to pay a deposit to get it. We habe to pay Spa before 01/15/2009 !

All i want for the moment is to get a deposit from the people who are ready to join us !
We accept check, or international bank transfer. PM me if you want the IBAN.

I count on you !


PS : we have negociated with a 4 stars hotel a special package : night + saturday night meal + sunday's breakfast => 68€ per person

Send your payment to :
FIAT COUPE CLUB SUD
Résidence Aria Marina,
Entrée F
Route des sanguinaires
20000 AJACCIO
FRANCE

I can send a cheque or paypal for the track deposit...sounds great

our club doesn't have paypal. i could give you my paypal address but the problem is that i will have some fees !

How much deposit do you need babycash? Also how soon do we need to book the hotel or tell you how many people we are? Also just to be clear does this mean there is now only going to be one Coupe session? What about unrestricted sessions for my car?

Pete etc when are people planning on travelling over? I was expecting to stay Friday/Saturday/Sunday? Obviously it's a much longer journey for us from Scotlandshire. I wouldn't want to be holding people up waiting on me with the van and trailer.

The sooner we get organised the better the trip will be.

I have managed to recruit another coop'ster to the fold. My Dad is buying my green 20vt and we are both planning on this event.
We are hoping to go the Nurburgring before/after depending on dates.
Reading what Baby Cash said, it looks as if there will only be 30mins available on track at Spa-is that correct?

Good questions sparco.

For the moment our club is just going to rent 1 track session for us.
But if we are enough, we can rent another session.

look at the availibilities bellow
Saturday 13/6: 9h00 à 9h30 - 950,00 euros (w/vat)
Saturday 13/6: 11h30 à 12h00 - 1.315 euros (w/vat)
Saturday 13/6: 16h00 à 16h30 - 1.450 euros (w/vat)
Sunday 14/6: 9h00 à 9h30 - 1.100,00 euros (w/vat)
Sunday 14/6: 14h00 à 15h00 - 4.050 euros (w/vat)
Sunday 14/6: 15h00 à 15h30 - 2.025 euros (w/vat)
the belgian VAT is 21%

We could rent the sunday session (3 to 3:30PM), it cost 2450€ ! If we are 50 it will cost an extra 49€, if we are 30 it's gonna cost an extra 81€ per person !

If it is not possible, you can try the SCUDERIA (1 hour of free session with the other ferrari, lamborghini ... 120€), or the Grande Parade (1h but the speed is limited at 120kmh..50€). there are many sessions per day.

For the hotel, my friend is waiting for an answer. i mean if they can grant us the same prices for the people who will be there on friday.

PS : i need the full deposit (60€) or if you want you can already pay me the hotel. it's going to be better, because i will get the money necessary for the deposit quicker !

Hi folks

Some news...

My mate has contacted the hotel. They are ready to grant us the same prices for the friday night.
So the prices are :
68€ per person : room + dinner + breakfast
OR
55€ : room + breakfast (no dinner).

Drinks are not included.

Can we have a link or web address for the hotel please.

WOW That looks like a nice Hotel

It is the exact opposite in every way to where we stopped last year.



Is the Friday PP too?

Bob

yes ! same price for friday and saturday

It looks like i will have a mechanic with me baby cash so do i need to pay 60 euros for them too?

Also who do i need to speak to about the unrestricted track time? Can i just wait until i get there or do we need to book early to get places?

I'll get the deposit to you this week.

Hi sparco ?
If your mechanic comes with you in the same car, he won't have to pay.
The 60€ entrance worth for the entrance (with track session) for the weekend, no matter how many you are in the car.

if you come with the trailer, i think you could leave it on the parking.

For the scuderia, grande parade (etc) you will have to wait the parution of the prices on spa italia's website

Hi folks

I just take 2 minutes to bother you to ask if you guys have already sent your deposit, or if you plan to do it soon.

We have to pay a deposit to SPA to book the track session before jannuary 15th.

I was actually quite interested in this but might have to pull out because 30mins track time is just too short.

I am interested but cannot commit to anything until they release the dates for the Nurburgring. I am also going to struggle to find out if i can take the holiday off work until March.
I'm therefore going to struggle with this deposit i'm afraid
