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.

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.

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.
