Is it an impressioin due to the shadow of the bonnet on the bumper (right side of the pic) or is your chassis twisting? Might be due to the slicks...

I cannot see what you mean Kayjey

good pics Matt !

any news on which ferry/time we're plumping for yet boys? might as well book before xmas takes all our money!!

Good pics Matt.

The club has been negotiating with the organisers, and it looks like we have secured a half hour coupe only track time on Saturday afternoon and half an hour on Sunday morning.

I will confirm this when I get the formal contract from SpaItalia.

Good work pete and co. The coupe only sessions were really good last year.

anybody made any definite plans yet, such as hotel in london, ferry etc etc? i'm dead keen to sort this out

I just started reading this thread and wondered about the rules on helmets and passengers? I have racing overalls and helmet/shoes so I'm OK but what about passengers? Do they need helmets? Any restriction on how many passengers? Any minimum age? My (by then) 8 and 11 year old would love to have a ride I'm sure.

Great work Pete.

To answer DaveG:

Passengers do need helmets on the unrestricted track times, but not for the "Grande Parade" sessions.

I think that only 1 passenger is allowed in the unrestricted sessions and that they have to be 15 years old, but I may have that wrong and will need to find out the position for next year.

Thanks Pete.Will be looking forward to it.

hmmm just drove the spa track on x-box 360 and i was crap!! hope i drive better in real life or i'll be going home on public transport...

You get the bus for free now dont you Steve ?

you cheeky young


you coming along on this with the missus then? be a great weekend

Yeah we will both be there, I'll get her to keep you company on the bus

What day are you going Adam could always go in convoy?

nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

is yer dad coming, i'll have somebody my age to drink with lol....

No sure yet Paul, see what day everyone else is going.

Not sure about the old man, I'll find out

No worries I'll have a chat with you a bit nearer the time.

I'll be going on the 8am Norfolk Line Dover - Dunkirk ferry Friday morning as I will need to get there early and also to miss the Friday afternoon Brussels ring road fun and games.

Going back it will be the Sunday evening 20:00 one as MCMike and I used this year.

i think that's my preferred timing too pete, have you booked the ferry yet and, if you have, how much was it?

Not yet, but it will be about £40 return. I'll have alook in a mo.

It's showing £44:00 return using http://www.ferrycheap.com/ to book.

They may have better deals later on.

I have a feeling me and the bird might turn up to this one, sounds good!

woohoo hamish, this gets better all the time!! just need mcmike to confirm what the score is and we're in!! you gonna convoy down with us then, prob stay over in london thursday night?

Whilst i would have liked to come to this, it seems that it's going to clash with a couple of weddings that i'm due to attend. One in Barcelona on the 14th June and one in the UK on the 18th

yes, Steve, I reckon so, what sort of budget are we looking at for the trip? Have I missed a post somwhere in here?

on the first page pete suggested a travel/acommodation budget of something around £350, and then depends how much track time you want and how enthusiastic about the track useage you get - i think matt thought he'd spent £800 or something of that order? i'm not going to be doing too much track time so i'm thinking £500 - £750 tops
