I was actually quite interested in this but might have to pull out because 30mins track time is just too short. There is plenty of other track time available, the 30 minutes is for coupes only. Nothing to stop anyone going round with the Ferraris, Lambos etc in the open Scuderia sessions. You do need a crash hat though.

Kelv, Is it not the Coupé only session that is just 30 minutes? I am sure that the guys had two one hour stints last year, one on the Saturday and one on the sunday Morning. To be honest most of them left the track before the hour was up, Spa appears to be quite hard on the Coupé brakes when you are attacking the track. Also last year quite a few Coupés participated in the Scuderia unlimited sessions, running alongside Italian exotica, race Cars etc The parade sessions were also good fun. No helmets but out alongside plenty of fine Italian machinery. There was not too much sign of restriction when I was running either I am sure you could, if you wanted, spend ALL weekend on the track, but it would be mighty expensive
Gone Audi mad!

Putting the car o the trailer and driving there! Depends on what the sailing schedules are when Norkolkline take ove the Rosyth - Zebrugge sailing. Ideally i will use this service which will mean as little driving as possible but i get the feeling if i want to be there first thing Saturday morning then i might have to be Dover - Calais or the Tunnel. Remember i'm in the van so i'll be going a lot slower than cars.
From Zeebrugge it's about 150 miles to Spa. From Calais it's about 220 miles ish.
What are you thinking about?
Re-track time i'll be purchasing as many as i can afford espcially the Scuderia sessions. Spa is afterall one of the only rear F1 tracks left and to get the chance to let the coupe loose on it is a major box ticked of things to do.

Marco, I was actually more keen on taking the sail from Rosyth to avoid the long drive to dover.. However..think i might have to pull out..just checked Norfolklines prices..£230 outbound and £400 for the return journey..making that £630 return! Not to mention the 20 hour ferry ride By the way..theres a ferry leaving Rosyth on the Thursday 11th so that should give you plenty of time to get to spa for Saturday?

I know but i don't really want to be there on friday night if i can help it. I'd rather arrive saturday.
The ferry is very good and you would get a cabin just the same as the Hull - Zebrugge which is the only other option.
Dover - Calais is only £120 for a car IIRC and the tunnel is much the same, cheaper at non-peak times.

To make things easier for people in the UK, the club is transferring funds to Baby_cash to cover 5 entries this weekend.
3 of these entries have been allocated, if you would like to be included please let me know. If necessary I can increase the quantity but I need to know rapidly.
Just to remind you, the cost is 60 euros for the entire weekend including 30 minutes on the F1 circuit solely among fellow coupe enthusiasts.
I will tell you the exact pounds cost when I have seen the exchange rate we get,expect around £1.00 to the euro. You will save having to pay the excessive charges UK banks make on European money transfers.
Baby_cash has confirmed receipts from Magooagain, Sparco and McMike.

The cost for the remaining 2 admissions is £55.48 each. PM me if you would like one of them and I will tell you how to pay the Club. We got 1.082 exchange rate. Pete

The payment has not yet got to the bank Matt, but it normally takes 3 or 4 working days. In the meantime can you please PM me your and your dad's details including car type and reg so that I can arrange for the tickets to reach you in due course.
Thanks,
Pete

I'm almost certainly going to go with the French club's choice of hotel, 4* hotel at a 3* price. Going on Friday too. Unfortunately Speedferries have gone tits up owing me 7 crossings, so still trying to find a good deal. Pete

Thanks Joe,
I've been onto the credit card company since November, still not got my money back yet (£175.00)
I have just had a look a LD.co.uk, certainly cheap at £30.00 return dover Boulogne, but there is only 1 Sunday sailing at 16.15 which is a bit early.
Sea France want £91 return for the same day Dover Calais.
I'll keep digging round and will post what I find.

Baby-Cash has told me that there is the possibility of an 0900 to 0930 coupe only track session on Sunday. If we can get a total of 30 takers (both clubs), the cost will be 33 euros for the session.
Please post your interest.
