It looks like SpaItalia 2010 will be held on the weekend of 19th and 20th June judging by this Alfa Romeo centenary event promoted by the SpaItalia organisers.

Following the sucess of the visit to this years event, the club plans to organise a trip to next year's SpaItalia.

Yes just had the e-mail. Would love this again funds allowing.

Me and the old man are definites

Yep Gill and i are up for this as long as there is a piano and beer

Pleaseeeeee no piano again!!

Plenty of booze though

Yep stick me down, not too fussed about the piano - but I can live with it if need be

i may be a possible for this, when would you need to know for definite?

Won't need to know attendees until around February next year.

At the moment this thread is to let people know so they can make their plans early.

How much would you need to budget for this? Obviously people spend different amounts, but a rough idea would be good!

If you can book ahead, the ferry should cost around £50-£60 return, there will be about 250-300 miles each way to get there from the ferry ports so say £120 fuel.

Entry to the circuit for the weekend was 55 euros this year,prices of other track sessions are in the 2009 thread, I expect them to be much the same next year.
Coupes do burn a lot of fuel when hammering round the track. (ask MattM)

Accomodation will vary, we will be looking at finding both hotel accomodation and camping possibilities to give a choice of costs.

This year, staying in a 4 star hotel for 2 nights, I expect I spent around £350 all in door to door, but I didn't really keep that close a check on costs, perhaps others did.

I didn't really keep much of a check either, but i did work out that i was using £75 an hour in fuel when on track!!
I did 2 Scuderia sessions at £120 each, for an hour each, and 2 Coupe only sessions at £55 each, for half an hour each.
So you've got £350 worth of track time, plus fuel for the track time.
It isn't cheap, but its defintily worth it.
Plus you can pay for things like ferry and hotel months before so it spreads the cost nicely

I burnt 180 litres of fuel in my car which is loads but then i was on track a lot and not hanging about.

As above plan early and spread the costs it's a fantastic weekend for anyone who loves cars.

Listen matt i will even endaevour to learn an instrument if your dad plays some more for us. That was one of the best nights on the beer i've had in years.

Ha nice one Sparco.Gill says it was a great night also,and she just drank coffee.
I am taking recorder lessons as we speak

Well I'm definately keeping my eyes on this. Spa has always been my favourite Grand Prix and would love to have a go round there.

It was a first for me,frightened the life out of me at first but fantastic.

Marco-you'll have to learn the guitar so we can have the full version of Bohemian Rhapsody!

How much did it cost you guys roughly last year.Taking away the obvious costs for copius amounts of larger

I'll not say anything as it cost me a bit more than everyone else.

Matt well i might just do that can't be that hard this musical stuff.

I'll have to bring a guitar next year then

Ha ha i'm off the hook good man jurgen.

Well we could still use a singer, so you'd better start practicing on that

Jesus that would be funny as i'm bloody hopeless. I'll play the drums i'm good at making lots of noise.

One thing Pete just make sure whatever Hotel we go to as bolted down seats. You know how safety concious i am!

We'll be there again

Couldn't miss our annual trip to Spa. Not only do we get to meet up with lots of jolly nice French & Dutch peoples, we also get to see some fantastic Italian cars out and about on one of the best tracks in the world

Really looking forward to seeing this band perform, Matts Dad on Piano, Jurgen on Guitar, Joe on recorder and Marco on Drums. I'll make the Video

I just wonder what Jullio will do to shock us all next year, they were great card tricks

I'm up for this looked like a great weekend this year

ditto, most likely - i've never been on a track so what a place to make my debut, although my little standard plus wont keep up with most coops...i still love her...

Dont worry Proccy,You,re car will be in good company.All the standards got round with flying colours mate.Using the gears and revs i was impressed with my standard.

is there a special "grandad" lane....

for me it would also be the social aspects, the drive down and back would be amazing i expect in a convoy of sorts.

i assume things like recovery from europe are done through the aa or rac cover? not that i'm pessimistic but hey, this is a coop...

The cheaper option is to join ADAC, the German AA equivalent, BarmyBob is a member and will no doubt give you further info.
It covers you in the UK too.

The drive across Belgium is a bit boring frankly, but gets better east of Liege.

Brilliant weekend Proccy and the cabaret is awesome.

Here's a little reminder of this year.
