Yellow and Black

The problem is Joe and my mother are coming along as well.

ah right - no worries matey, see what you can do...

Will do, it is my birthday on the Thursday so I should stop over and have a beer or 10

oooh yes!!! what a start to a great weekend....

just an after-thought, some of these travelodges do family rooms too, maybe you could all bunk down in one of those, or maybe someone would share? who knows?

I'm sure we'll sort something out.

This might have been asked already, but how much are the extra sessions and when do you pay for them?

Also when do you pay the remaining £65? Might be worth putting FAQ's in sticky as I'm sure the same questions are getting asked.

The remaining £65 can be paid any time you like before April next year, as that is when I have to pay the organisers.

We will know about costs and availability of extra sessions when SpaItalia publish them next year.

It will be possible to pay for them direct or we may be able to do it via the club, that remains to be fixed.

Ok, thanks again Pete. Does anybody remember the price of the track sessions from last year?

The scuderia open pit lane sessions were 120euros for an hour last year.

Is anyone interested in camping for accommodation for this event?

I'd consider going to this but as I :
(i) prefer camping (both cost wise and more generally unless the hotel is super-deluxe); and
(ii) don't want to end up being the only guy not using the hotel bar,
would like to know what other people think.

Cheers

Hi Steve, We considered it but it was just to much stuff to put in to the back of the coupe, and after a drive like that, the last thing I or emm wants to do is put up a tent

im easy,hotel or camping.I will follow the majority tho.

Would keep costs down tho and i have a great pop up tent.But wouldnt mind a drink tho.

Thinking about it,would like to have a nice comfy nights sleep while away.

Yes, I know what you mean CD.

At the end of the day from my POV if there are a reasonable number of people who go for the camping option (say 5) then it works for me. A better solution would be if the campsite were in easy reach of the hotel.

Sam it is a long way for you looking at your map.

I'm a regular camper so could help putting up your tent!

IMHO if you are sensible about what you bring with you then a coupe is a good car to camp in - I've been to southern france and northern scotland with mine over the last couple of years.

There was a poll done a while ago. the conclusion was that most people wanted to stay in a decent hotel, so that is what we are most actively working on.

Having said that, there is no reason why those who wish to camp should not do so, however our priority is sorting out the hotel first.

It is worth remembering that the weather at Spa is highly unpredictable, even in mid June.

Oh, it is! One minute lovely sunshine, the next it's gone dark and the rain is belting down, I've woken up at Spa a fair few times in what was a field but was now a lake!

Ayup Proccy i hope one of us midlanders have got some Sat nav.
And a coupe lighter 12v socket that works.

that would be me then.........

And me...lol
proccy convoy and hotel sounds like a good idea.count me In.

Travelodge seems a bargin ,let us know when we start booking it.my mates coming now so spliting the bill aswell!

petep, any spaces left or are they all gone ? would love to come and join in the fun.

Yes there are still spaces left, put your name down and transfer the deposit.

Is there going to have to be more than one hotel due to numbers? Based on last years figure maybe a cheaper hotel thrown in also,all in close proximety of course for us all to meet up.
Eitherway leave it to you guys as the poll has already been done.

Also what is the price of fuel on the continent?obviously subject to change,but intrestes netherless

The fuel prices are higher on the continent, largly due to the weakness of the pound.

Luxemberg is the cheapest country for fuel if you are going near it, but probably not worth much of a detour.

We are looking to book 1 hotel with possibly a camp site as well, the numbers should not be a problem.

@jbt - yes i have satnav, so we'll be ok if we can stick together. i suggest then that one of us with satnav leads, the other one (sam or me) goes neat the back in case we get split up. also we can discuss the route/road numbers and exchange phone numbers. i believe Joe is also looking at some walkie talkies....

@CD i've already booked mate, Theresa is in the process of doing the same so i'd suggest getting in there soon! there are some at canterbury a few miles away, but would be nice for us all to be together for a beer or 6 on the thursday night...

Great will book the ferry and room today then.

Without trying to confuse things.I hope to be camping at the circuit,i am sure i saw an area where vans and campers where parked up.(although i have found nothing about that on the Spa website.)
If a campsite is found i would be up for that.I will also do a search for one as i know where the hotel is.
Gill & i stayed at a very good b&b last year.(and may yet stay there next year).It will depend if i trailor the coupe up to Spa.
I can give the number of the b&b if anyone wants it.It was very good.But staying at the same place is fun.I was lucky as Gill drove on the Saturday night,so we had a meal with everyone on the Saturday night.

you may want to try that campsite. Its the one I'm probably going to be staying at on the 700 mile bike ride I'm doing next year.

That looks perfect,thanks for that Eldinho.

Decided to come along to this today. Will PP you the deposit pete.
