SpaItalia 2012. The dates.
Posted By: PeteP
SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 11/10/2011 16:13
We now have the dates so get booking your long weekend off work.
It's earlier than in previous years too: 28th and 29th April 2012.
The club will be organising special coupe only track sessions as we have done in the past.
This time, following requests from participants, we have asked to be allocated 3 half hour sessions on the track rather the 2 we had previously.
I have asked the organisers for 1 coupe session late on Saturday morning, another late on Saturday afternoon and the final session on Sunday morning.
As he did last year Marcouzze from the French forum has offered to join the organising team.
Hopefully his task organising the accommodation and social side of the event will be easier this time as there is no Belgian national holiday that weekend.
As and when I have firm information about costs and programmeI will post them in this sub-forum.
In the meantime, if you would like to go then please add your name to the list below.
Yes, I'm interested in going:
01. Petep

At the moment a ferry crossing is £50 return with Norfolk line Dover to Dunkirk and back....very tempted
Eurotunnel however appear to be nearer £85 Folkstone to Calais and back

I know most of you went on the Eurotunnel this year, and you all may know Andrew and me went on the ferry - and to be very honest I couldnt fault it at all.
On time both ends, no fuss, no problems, food was nice, etc etc etc.
Plus stuff to look at if you get out on deck instead of stuck in the train car.
Cost circa £60 something IIRC. (booked a bit in advance)

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 12/10/2011 17:47
Yes, we had no problems with the ferry last year and it was very cheap
It's just that this year, Spa fell over a holiday season and prices were quite high, so the Eurotunnel worked out cheaper for most.

We probably should have a separate thread for convoys, ferry/eurotunnel/hotel stays etc rather than clog this up. We MUST get together as a group and share a beer this year

Agree Steve, we'll start them off when we have something concrete to go on.
I'll start one for hotel and campsite numbers right now.

Oh Mike, at least Barnacle's 16 will get there without the slightest hint of a mechanical gremlin, wont have to crawl over speed bumps or up the ferry ramp, wont need to be worked on before and after the track time etc etc etc.
The only problem he might encounter is me drooling all over it...
16NA - original and best.

Senny Dave and the mysterious no.13 slot.
He's in the list one minute, and off it again on the next
I couldn't think of a more appropriate owner of the no.13 slot

We could always get someone to walk in front of barnacles car with a red flag ?
Oh Mike, at least Barnacle's 16 will get there without the slightest hint of a mechanical gremlin, wont have to crawl over speed bumps or up the ferry ramp, wont need to be worked on before and after the track time etc etc etc.
The only problem he might encounter is me drooling all over it...
16NA - original and best.
Mike, a red flag *behind* the car would be favourite, given that someone (well, sometwo) has driven up its arse twice now...
Shiny, recall that this is the car I use to go off-road around the farm where I fly. Licking the paintwork could cause all sorts of nasty diseases, and I'd hate to be responsible for wiping out all the cows in Surrey - so you keep your drool to yourself, please!

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 20/10/2011 18:28
It does look that way Marcouzze.
60 cars will be the maximum number allowed on the track in the club sessions.
Some may not wish to take part in those sessions, which would potentially allow others to join in.
At the moment, all that the club could offer latecomers would be entry to the event at a discounted price.
Until I have details of costs from the organisers I can be no more specific.

I'm in agreement Pete, i expect spaces are available through Alfa forums as it's an Italian car event? We have a few well known Coupé owners who haven't signed up yet and as members should get first shout over non-Coupés/non-members imho.
No offence shiny

Posted By: PeteP
Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 27/10/2011 02:16
Nobody who had previously registered their interest will be refused. However we are reserving any remaining places for coupes.
In due course, should there be any vacant spaces after people have had the opportunity to pay, then we will consider further non-coupe entries.
It is perfectly possible for any owner of an Italian car to go to the SpaItalia weekend by subscribing directly with the organisers.
What is not possible is for more than 60 cars to be on the track in any session.
The club organises the special track sessions principally for coupes, they have priority, they are my prime concern.

I will be Mart. And Minimetaller. We can leave at a decent hour, have breakfast at the hotel before we go. I hate milling around on ferries, and the overpriced rubbish food and drink!!
Looking at the 9.50 crossing, a sociable hour, at £69 for the car and all passengers. Will book up tunnel crossing and Spa tickets nearer the end of the month.

I don't see a section to ask this - but perhaps some kind soul could list the necessary accoutrements required before one is allowed on the track?
i.e. helmets, gloves and such.

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 29/11/2011 14:47
There is one in the 2011 sub-forum Neil.
I was going to wait until nearer the time for 2012 before repeating it, but it can be done sooner if it helps folks.
Posted By: barnacle
Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 29/11/2011 22:54
The only one I could find was the one in the 2010 section, Pete, which implied helmets required only for the Scuderia (and presumably not for the coupe only tracks).
Posted By: PeteP
Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 29/11/2011 23:14
That's about it Neil.
Helmets must be worn, other than that our insurers will insist that drivers wear gloves, but that is not a track requirement.
The insurers will also insist that participants have blood alcohol levels below the legal limit for driving on the road.
I will be able to expand further when I see the insurance policy for next years event.
To quote Article 6 - Access to the track - from the contract the club has signed:
The Subtenant (that's the club) will take care to inform the participants in his session that the wearing of helmet and the safety belt is compulsory for the driver and the possible passenger.
He also recognises to have been informed that the children under age 15 are not authorised to take a place as passsenger.
He recognises to have been informed of current noise restriction applied on the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps and that participating cars may not generated (sic) noise above 103db.
Posted By: PeteP
Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 29/11/2011 23:18
I will check later but my understanding is that children under 15 are allowed to be passengers in cars taking part in the Grande Parade sessions.

The fact the cars were packed 3 inches from each other last year and the person in front couldnt drive put me off the train as trying to make a claim on the insurance whilst in the euro-tunnel wouldnt be easy.

Can they pay on the gate?
Or do they have to pay in advance?

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 09/02/2012 09:59
If they want to bring thier coupes into the display/parking area with the other coupes they will have to contact Spa direct.
Or they can just use the public parking and then pay and enter as pedestrians.
Pete may have more info for you Marco.

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 09/02/2012 10:30
They will be able to park with us even if they don't buy the tickets through the club.
Car, driver and 1 passenger are included in the ticket, extra passengers are 12€ for the weekend if bought in advance, but there are normally normally spare passenger seats in some cars anyway.
You have a PM Marco.

Those collecting so far:
Proccy
JBT and Crazylegs
Porkypaul
Blitz
McMike
Kayjey
I will be posting tickets to all the continental participants unless they let me know otherwise.

If I book directly or Pay on the day can I go on track with the Club cars and can I use the club track Insurance? For various reasons I Haven't been on forum for about 5 months so missed all this and could kick myself.
Posted By: PeteP
Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 29/03/2012 00:37
Sorry, but you won't be able to go on track with the others unless I can arrange something with the organisers.
If I can, you will need to pay the club an additional £70 on top of what you pay for your entry ticket to cover the coupe track time and your share of the insurance against damage to the track (the club is paying the majority).
Please let me know if you want me to arrange this ASAP.
Please note this insurance does not cover damage to your car or other peoples' cars, it is simply there to protect members against the cost of any damage they may do to the circuit.
You may be able to arrange track cover for your car individually through Neil Willies Insurance. (Sarah on the forum.)

Are there age restrictions for passengers on track? I want to bring my son who is 12. Will let you a by tomorrow night for sure. Just need to weigh all this up as I'm off on Holiday at weekend for 5 days which gives me even less time to get organised if I decide it's on. Many thanks for even considering me at this Late stage.
Posted By: PeteP
Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 29/03/2012 23:30
For our sessions and all the Scuderia sessions there is a minimum age of 16 for passengers.
For the Grande Parade sessions, which are not part of our package , I believe the age limit is 11 but can find no reference to it on their website. I have seen children around that age in those sessions in the past
edit. I'm sure there will be people around to keep an eye on your son during track sessions while you are on the circuit, not everyone is going on track.
Have a look at the website
www.spaitalia.be and see if you can see something I have missed.

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 30/03/2012 18:30
15 years is the min age for Track Sessions and not sure if Grande Parade slots still available. Dont want to take my Lad all the way there and not have him go round track. Got Trackday Insurance already. Everything is looking good apart from Hotels. The Hotels Le Midi and La Source are fully booked\(missed last room by 30 mins). Chalets at Eau Rouge I cant find out about until they reply to email tomorrow. I would much prefer to be embedded with the rest of you guys, so if chalet not available(tomorrow)or Grande Parade slot I'll probably reluctantly leave it till next year.

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 30/03/2012 18:58
Grande Parade slots have been available on the day each time I have been, that's every year since 2007.
Get to the circuit office at 9am on Saturday and you will be fine.
edit If you book on line with them you should be able to book a Grande Parade session in advance.

There is a fair few of us at Eau rouge Lego. I am sure you will get a chalet/mobile home. Give me a shout if you need any help with the booking. The owner speaks English.

A little question, the site says: the car + 2 passengers, so if i take 2 people in my coupe, are these the 2 passengers or am i allso seen as passenger?
Posted By: PeteP
Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 07/04/2012 19:26
You are seen as a passenger Sem, so it is really driver + 1 passenger.
I bet there is a spare seat with someone going from the campsite.

At 6'3" I was a little concerned that I would have to wedge myself in the coop with a Helmet on, but after trying-out with a BMX/Skateboard helmet I should be ok.
So I was wondering if there would be helmets for Hire at Spa or will I have to get myself a hold of one and bring it with me?
And what Pads should I upgrade to on my Standard LE discs?

OK got my Spa Tickets,
got my Eurotunnel tickets,
got my Hotel in Belgium,
got my Helmet today.
Helmet is V tight inside car and I hit the roof when on undulations so not good. If only the Steering Wheel extended a bit more i could get it a bit more comfortable.
I need a Helmet about >3 ml smaller and I'd get comfortable.
So does any body know of different helmet type/brand that has small circumference for use in-car.
Or is there a clever easy way of lowering the seat?

Yes. All permutations lead back to - I need more head room, and a smaller volume helmet would probably do it. but where how to find one, as its only internal sizes and no other dimensions are given.

no sunroof. I can put the backrest back which gives me more headroom but I can't drive comfortably as my arms are at full stretch. Going forward (with backrest back)doesnt help as my legs are too long.

At 6"3 I can squeeze in with helmet but it's uncomfortable and I don't want to drive Spa that way if at all possible. I had same problem when I drove a Sierra Cosworth a few years back with Helmet on and it wasn't enjoyable as it put strain on my neck. It so frustrating as another few millimetres and it would be fine.

Im 6ft2 and 18 (Cough) stone and find the LE seats go further back which your helmet fits nice into the pitch of the roof.
My helmet is quite loose so it might be if yours is tight its not locating on the melon fully.
Failing that maybe a bucket seat will perhaps lower the height a little.

Your a wee bit heavier than me so you'll compress the seat more
And of course you are an inch smaller .
I need less than half that and I can get my ideal comfy position

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 17/04/2012 13:45
Last year the insurers said that we did have to wear gloves, although this year the policy states that
"(e) helmets and appropriate protective clothing are worn by all participants during any insured Activity"
Last year I took a pair of light leather gloves to wear on track.
The scrutineers on the circuit only check that participants are wearing crash helmets.

Just thought i would mention in case anyone is considering the cover we are able to offer Track Day Insurance. The policy would provide Accidental Damage Cover Only for the vehicle whilst on the track, subject to an excess based on 10% of the vehicle value, £1,000 minimum excess.
If a quotation is required please do not hesitate to contact us via PM, email or telephone with the following information:-
Name
Address
Contact Number
Contact email
Date Of Birth
Car details: model, registration number and value
Additional Driver: name, date of birth
Once I have this information I can obtain a quotation for you from the relevant insurers.

The priority that the circuit sells time to event organisers is
1) Formula 1
2) Other race events
3) Other events, such as SpaItalia.
Taken fron the circuit website
MAY
- 5 6 Heures de Spa-Francorchamps WEC
12 - 13 Porsche Francorchamps Days
26 - 27 Spa Classic
JUNE
2 - 3 World Series by Renault
9 - 10 BRCC
16 - 17 Spa Summer Classic
23 - 24 Spa Euro Race
APRIL
31 March - 1 Trophée des Fagnes
21 - 22 Bikers' Trophy (moto) Link
28 - 29 Spa Italia Link
MAY
4 - 5 6 Heures de Spa-Francorchamps WEC Link
12 - 13 Porsche Francorchamps Days Link
26 - 27 Spa Classic Link
JUNE
2 - 3 World Series by Renault Link
9 - 10 BRCC
16 - 17 Spa Summer Classic Link
23 - 24 Spa Euro Race Link
JULY
30 June - 1 Bikers' Classics (moto)
]
So you can see that there were more track events than in previous years during May and June.

Record numbers sounds good, but from the exhibitors list you can count the number of De Tomaso's (for example) on one hand. To me, that's disappointing, but of course I'm still excited and hope it's just as good as last year.

There were loads. Ok, the Pantera was a 'featured' car for its 30th anniversary, but clearly the owners weren't inspired enough to register again for this year. I distincly remember there being a fair few Lamborghinis last year but only 4 on the exhibitor list this year.

There are track passenger rides with Lancia Stratos, Alfa TZ1, Ferrari's,... and they have 15% more subscriptions than last year. I hope it's not just crazy Italians in Fiat Uno Turbo's.
And all depends on the weather of course.

Looking at the exhibitors list on the SpaItalia website, there doesn't seem to be very many of the more exotic supercars registered... Does that indicate that there will be a poorer turnout than last year - maybe due to the earlier date?
Probably due to the fact that i overtook most of them last year and they didnt like being beaten by a 15 year old coupe worth £1500 driven by a fat bald bloke.
Klaas those Uno drivers were nuts.Seen better driving on a Wednesday night in Halfords car park.

Grrrr... just discovered that Green Flag (the original, with whom I have been a member for at least twenty years, not the recent Direct Line upstart of the same name) won't cover the coupe for continental recovery on grounds of age - over 15 years...
Channel Tunnel won't do it either, same reason.
Suggestions?
After searching some more I have found something, available until 17 years old - give me a call, sorry I cannot call you, cannot locate your number!

Gutted for you bab, but honestly the best thing for you would be to get away for a few days, you can always get the car sorted/broken/burned-out.

Seriously the other issue is you were going friday weren't you? We're all down at Ashford thursday night so there's logistics issues.
No need to miss out though, there's loads of spare seats in cars - yes i have T with me so my axles are overloaded, but hey something's gotta break it eh? It's like transporting a bleedin great Hippo around but with less manners

Marco, I've got space in my car from Ashford to Spa and back (on Sunday). Senny Dave is coming out there with me, but otherwise the back seats are free. Plus it's not a coop (Octavia) so there's plenty of space for people & luggage.

Get your nuts in gear Marco. I'm putting all my faith on you to replace the last rusty bits on my Coupe, horn(y) boy!
As for the weather: for the last 5 years the last weekend of April has been literally BRILLIANT here in Belgium - Flanders. I know because I spent that specific weekend for the last 5 years playing our local badminton tournament (which I'll miss out on this year!) and I've always hated being inside because it was 30° outside. So I'm not worried about the weather. [Famous last words. At least my stickers are waterproof.]

We got home a couple of hours ago. No problems with our car (well apart from NO brakes at all at a certain scary moment, which were accidentally tested by cars slowing down in front of us so we noticed it before we came down to the busstop chicane doing 130 and having to use the armco head on to stop us - thank you to JBT who replaced my brake fluid with liquid gold after that incident!!) but unfortunately Spa took a couple of victims. I'll leave the details to the people who were directly involved, I just hope our victim who had to go to the hospital for a small checkup of an eye (airbag) has been able to shake it off and will find a way to get himself and the passengers home.
Apart from that unfortunate event, it was marvellous again, with beautiful weather. Great to meet Top Legend Barbz and to see him enjoy the track so much! And great to meet some new faces and enjoy the company of so many fellow dedicated owners. It's been amazing, Joke had a great time,... BRILLIANT!!

We're back - about six o'clock.
As Klaas said - a couple of unfortunate incidents but great fun on the whole!
For comparison with the much faster 20vts - the peak speed I was seeing with the 16NA was 105mph at three points: arriving at Les Combes, at the Bus Stop, La Source, and at Raidillon. For me, it was flat out from La Source all the way through to Les Combes, and indeed most of the rest of the way...

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 29/04/2012 20:37
Peak speed of 125 for me. Although with risk through Radillon I'm sure I could reach 130-135. The track will never bore me.

I've just got home. Had an absolutely awesome time and was great meeting a lot of the guys off here. It was my first time at Spa and the LE held up really well, just wish I'd forked out for some more track time!
What was great for me was all the coupe expertise on hand should anything go wrong, it was like having your own pit crew!
Thanks for club for organising such a great event.

I had a comedy moment trying to get off the ferry...I couldnt make the turn when all the other cars were easily making it...stupid coupe turning circle

Seriously are you referring to someone's name or a small version of your good self?
Or are the truckers part of the FCSS team?

The track will never bore me.
I followed your advise and did the 15:00 "Grande Parade" session today in the Abarth. Now I regret not doing more track time, it was brill!
Took down quite a few cars but CountryCruising's beast (I'm guessing it was him, chatted with the person afterwards because I had seen the cam on the side of his Coupe and hoped for some footage) was a bit too hot for the little Punto to handle. Needs better brake fluid as well.
Oh, and a big cheer to Klaas and Theresa who helped transfer my console and camber bolts to - I hope - happy new owners.

Back home now with almost 900 miles added to the previous 173000
A big thank you to everyone involved in organising from me and Kenny (the Maserati driver). A great weekend and thoroughly enjoyed my first taste of Spa, I should be in a lot of the video footage as I got overtaken by just about everyone, but a combination of brakes that went mushy after a couple of laps and the urge for self presvation that kicks in more the older you get will do that to you.
Hope everyone else gets home safely and the guys whose weekend didn't work out as planned are able to get things sorted soon.
Will get some pictures up soon

Maybe some moments to mention...
3,5 hours of waiting for rice table courses, then we told them to bring the bill, not the dessert.
Marco. I will not say how happy I was to see him until he confirms a date for a slumber party
at my place.
Porkypaul. It's hard to let him answer a yes/no question with yes or no rather than
yes or
no. Which is why Mike was blown away by him having a 2 sentence conversation without any swear words.
Another 'lost face' revisited, Sander: brilliant to see you again after 10 years!
Pieter Alesi who came down to Spa again providing company and pictures. Lovely!
D&J's project car.
We really need more projects like this or even unlike this.

What an un-expected weekend,
High lights... Too many to list...
Seeing KJ's face light up like Proccy at an all you can eat buffet was one..
And Joes (CC) look of confusion was good also!!
I'm glad mrs marcos little 147GTA gave some of you standard 20vt's a run for your money.
And nismo, you still got passed.
Biggest low... Well... We lost a coupe... But we did bring back a new member of FCCUK...
Chandou. Chandou is/was No1topshotta.
Hope your ok mate!

Well as always in the 3 years i've been going this turned out to be a brilliant experience exceeding what i'd hoped. As Marco the bottler says, too many highlights to list but the best was probably a blazing session in the passenger seat of Barbz monster car. It was absolute utter mayhem and the adrenalin rush was just unreal. The guy was doing 100mph+ slides round corners whilst oevrtaking people but it was all (just!) under control.... i'm sure he won't mind me repeating my description that he might not be the "tidiest" driver ever to grace Spa but no-one is more committed or exciting imo. There were helmets, bottles of water, extinguishers, shoes, tools etc etc flying around the cabin, and i can honestly say if i was about to die it would have been with a massive smile on my face!!!!
Another highlight was a 3 lap duel with Nismo where there was not much other traffic and we went at it hammer and tongs with me getting past him and him getting past me until i finally nailed him on the pit straight. Absolutely top fun and anyone who has doubts about coming to this weekend really needs to make it their top priority, i'm no track expert by any means but i enjoyed as much as the high power, high boost heroes.....
My thanks in no particular order go to;
Pete for magnificent organisation and leadership of the event
Theresa for being a brilliant companion and assistant and for giving as good as she gets in the P taking stakes...but having the worse "arse-crack" you've ever seen when bending over changing my wheels
JBT for making it possible for me to even have this car out on track and finally being reliable allowing me to drive it with confidence
Barbz for building the engine and making it great, fast, fun and torquey and for the mental/manic/extraordinary few laps on the ragged edge between life and death
Also to MCMullet, Porkster, Dan and the others all of whom I overtook at various times thanks to the work done on my car by the above gurus of coupes.
Mario, Sedicilashes and Nismo for polishing my car
Marco for being the home-from-home village idiot.
Shaun (crazylegs) off here who is a mint bloke and top driver in his stealth weapon LE - he wanted a plus, better luck next time kid
The Magoos for great company, and anyone i forgot - i'm sorry but you were great too.
Sorry about the crash guys but he'll be back i'm sure.
Finally to Marcouzze - I hope you have good luck in the future because so far it has been terrible. You are the only guy I know with worse luck than me!!!!
Theresa - the doogong of awesomeness

i have to agree with Marco ^^^ was a cracking weekend and good to meet other forum members that i haven't met before . My dad enjoyed himself and will be coming next year and will try and keep his eyes open for a full lap
but Marco you didn't pass me i let you go as you would have pushed me off the track as it was getting very dangerous . Thanks to proccy for the mighty battle we had out on track as it was the best one of the weekend for me .
Massive thanks to the club and all who organised this brilliant event and see you at spa next year .

Gill and i are just home now safe and sound. 1,250 miles round trip.
This years Spaitalia has been just fantastic and easily one of the best i have been to.
Thankyou Peter and Marcouzze for all your hard work.
Lots of laughs and great fun with everyone from the UK and French Coupe clubs which i will never forget.
As for my track driving,i am very happy with what i have achieved this weekend with the help from Gill and Patrick (Nos 20vt).
My coupe is now suffering from a slipping clutch,but that is a small price to pay considering the punishment i have put it through. It still got us home though .
It was great to see everyone and nice to meet some new faces.
One highlight for me was Patrick screaming at me not to brake as i decended down to Eau Rouge at 120mph and actually nailing that tremendous corner.
Klass thanks for the fun Sunday morning mate,great driving pal.
Photo's to come later.

Thanks to Pete for arranging for us to take part again
Many thanks to proccy for taking me across and for putting up with my whinging, although 95% of that was his fault anyway
Been a good weekend, with unexpected, but lovely weather.
Nice to catch up with everyone again and was nice to meet stuart81 and his mate, orion, Lego, little Dan, marcouzze, Alesi, Simmo (Gary) Barbz and others
Gutted about the smashed Coupe and marcouzze's car too
Always a bit of a come down when I get home, but hopefully looking forward to going again next year

What an awesome weekend, great company (you all know who you are - such a great bunch of people, each and every one who was there), cool cars and some very exciting track driving.
I had a great time on the track, with some fun with Barbz green monster barbequeing my front bumper with his exhaust flames, and a very exciting side by side run down to Eau Rouge with Porky Paul.
I felt decidely queasy after Nick did his man's work and chucked me and my LE round the bends.
My car never missed a beat, I even managed 35mpg on the drive back home and clocked up 216,000 miles along the way.
I'm looking forward to next year already !!!
A big thankyou to Pete for organising this fantastic event, and thanks to Kayjey for the excellent stickers

Nah, was out first on track in all sessions and apart from 4-5 French guys (not all known as 'careful' drivers) I haven't been in any traffic. Apart from a very very nice friendly chase with Joe Magoo. My brakes made the difference coming to corners, his power made the difference on the straights. Best time on track ever that sunday morning spin, even if it lasted just 15 minutes.

Got back 6.30 this evening. All I can say is wow what an experience, what a mad, crazy, fantastic 2 days at Spa racetrack. I really don't know where to start as I still haven't assimilated it all yet. So for nowI'll just say thanks to all of those who organise this event every year;
especially
Pete for organising my participation at short notice.
Marcouzze for getting me club rate at Hotel de la Source again at short notice. (sorry I didn't get to meet you).
Mayzon for letting letting me follow him down to Spa from Calais.
All those who gave me advice and info on Forum the last few weeks.
All those people who helped me and my Son Lewis at the track .
If you own a Fiat Coupe you owe it to yourself and your car , to take it to Spa.
A dream come true for me and my boy who is an F1 expert.
I had a disappointing nervous first session and problem with car due to me probably overdriving.
I had a much better and infinitely more enjoyable second session after I started at back and kept away from all the powerfull Coops, and- ust drove the track instead of getting involved in trying to race or getting out of way.
Starting at the back again I was completely at home with track by the third session and managed a best of 3.33. Lewis - who was so happy that he got to be on the pit wall- was timing me and giving me info about safety cars etc via his walkie talkie
Lewis finally got to come out onthe 11 to 12 Parade session on Sunday and was so ecstatic At finally getting to go round the famous Spa.
I thought the parade lap (when you are mixed with all the different makes) was going to be a slow jolly round the track . no way! it was fantastic. And just as fast as the coupe sessions for me. I started at back again and did loads of hugely enjoyable overtaking and got myself right behind the pace car. Driving alongside and against all those other makes of car, made me realise even more what a fantastic Car the Coupe is. incredible
Why the hell didn't I buy one years ago when there was a ferry from here to Zeebrugge
Thank you Fiat Coupe Club

^^^ Great quote from a great post Marko, glad you enjoyed it
Back 2 hours ago, now unpacked and off to bed. Sooo much to cover, so many funny moments and plenty of video content to go through. More to follow in due course this week whilst we all digest events!
Good to see all the familiar faces (even Senny Dave), and some new ones.
The ol' 20vt covered 1,100 miles and over 3 hours tracktime faultlessly. Maybe a broken spring from hurdling the rumble strips at the top of Eau Rouge, but SO worth it.
Equally enjoyable and what makes the whole 4 nights we make of this, was the company over these days, from all at Ashford on Thursday and mostly those at the campsite and boy were there some very tasty meals out this year
Only right to thank and congratulate those responsible for organising the clubs presence at this truly epic event, namely Pete, to whom a MASSIVE thank you is due, please take a
good Sir!
Same time next week?

Been home a couple of hours myself. A very Hard few goodbyes said leaving the ferry at Dover to the people that make my holiday ever year, love you guys.
Huge thanks to Reuben for letting me have 2 laps behind the wheel of his, bringing me there and taking me home. A lot of jaw ache from laughing so hard all weekend. Thanks to PeteP for all the hours making this possible, and to my dad for just being there and organising digs/pampering me.
Next year really can't come soon enough, I should be in a cheap Spa dedicated turbo.

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 01/05/2012 01:38
I was the unfortunate/fortunate/brave/foolhardy ( delete as appropriate :-)) passenger in Barbz car. As everybody has said- what a truly unforgettable experience ! Many thanks to the organising team and of course Barbz for inviting me.
Although I have owned my coop since 2002 and been a forum member from then I have not accumulated many posts and not been to many meets or events. So it was great just to some meet fellow owners for the first time - you know who you are.
There were so much exoctic machinery out there but the car that impressed me most coming out of the corner heading towards "eu rouge" was JBT's beast. It was immense and in my eyes carried the fastest speed. The sound it made was second to none also, Barbz - you were a close 2nd :-)
The tussle between us and the French boys were extremely exciting and at times frightening. I held on so tight to the door handle I grazed my knuckles !. Barbz applied a lot of pressure to them but lost out in the end because of their better knowledge of the track I reckon. Full respect to them though.
This experience has kick started my enthusiasm to coop ownership once again and I will attend one or two track events this year. When the time comes I will need some advice from the track veterans on how best to prep up my car.
I have a few photos and a couple of vids to post up once I learnt how to do it.
So for now - cheers guys !
Ps. - have I mentioned our drive from Calais to Spa :-)
That was an event all by itself !

Unfortunately I forgot the BBQ with you and I apologize.
I am back home too, this year I have not managed to drive a lap.
so I trained my poor english language, I spoke with a lot of people, but unfortunately I said goodbye to anyone, you were almost all gone.
Glad to know that everyone has arrived safely at home with or without coupé.
No highlights on track for me, and it is the end of life as a coupe for me.
it will go on spare parts.
We will meet again with another Italian car I hope.

What a fantastic weekend, apart from the cars that had there problems.
Must say a huge thank you too JBT for the work on the car, it was the best it's ever been. Great too see everyone old and new faces.
Roll on next year.
Thanks Paul,
Was nice seeing that all 7 of the cars i have built recently drove there and back reliably without an issue including the car we built and mapped in 3 weeks prior to spa that ran near on 500bhp.
My car was immense,and i have never been so
frightened/scared delighted.
Paul worked out that i beat over one million pounds worth of supercar and race car per lap.
All in a Fiat.

JBT overtaking that Ferrari 360CS was impressive but too overtake the Ferrari powered race car was something else. You have one hell of a car fella.

What a fantastic weekend, even without doing any track driving myself
It was great to meet up with the regulars again and meet some new people. The organisation was top notch
Thanks for the passenger rides. The word 'monster' is often overused when it comes to describing cars, but JBT's really is. The way it worked with slicks was
Committed driving as usual, but smooth as well
If you get bored of that car, I'll take it off your hands.
Glad to see that most cars/people made it unscathed. To those that didn't, come back stronger next time
At the start of the weekend, my chances of having a coupe again was around 20%, it might be around 30% now
I will be back to Spa

Sounds like a great weekend again! Kinda sad that I missed it, but it's just not the same without a coupe and some tracktime.
Although obviously I do miss the hotel bar sessions with all coupe nutters as well, might be enough for me to join in again next year :-)

Barbz in your face.Even your passenger said im quicker

I had to let you in front otherwise my fire breathing beast would of set you alight mate.
Sean's senses were discombobulated after several fierce laps in mine, so dont listen to him
Anyway, big thanks to all involved in this spectacular event.

Hi,
can you tell me who is the owner of this car?
I am uploading a video where he is a long time in front of me and as he had a Go Pro on its roof I am interested to see his video too

I don't know what that reference relates to, but it instantly reminds me of when the mighty doogong took her Matalan trainers off on the journey back - the smell was horrendous

I saw Sean after he got out of Barbz's car he was definitely discombobulated, he was "dis"-everything;
disorientated, dishevelled, dismayed, disturbed looking, etc etc

hi crazy as Dan said I've got loads of video to sort out! It will take a week or 2. What car was yours and what session?

Re: SpaItalia 2012. The dates. - 01/05/2012 16:51
Hi Mayzon, my car was a black ink with a french plate and 92 at the end (the only one I think). I did the 3 Fiat Coupé session.
Take your time to sort out your videos, I can wait

WOW looks like another fantastic Spa trip. You guys have turned Spa into a fantastic annual event. With so many UK Coupés again taking part it is a far cry from those early days of just Peter, Boosted7, Magoo and me. I'm so glad to see so many Coupé owners manage to stretch to attending what is I beleive one of the best Italian car events in Europe
I am really gutted to have missed another and truly hope familly events don't mean I won't be there again next year

Thanks jonny,
The car is perfect setup now for me.
After years of heartache and wanting it delivered a perfect package,handling,brakes,and blistering power.
last year i touched bumpers with the supercars this year i beat Lamborghini Gallardos,supers,Ferrari 360 CS,430's,355's and had half a lap trying to overtake the V8 powered Ferrari racecar before taking him easily on the straight infront of the crowds.
Once i was in front i was making time on the bends and humiliating him on the straights.
Priceless.....
This current custom gearbox made cornering so much easier.No wide drifting,just pure grip which is what SeanC saw on the hairpin.
So much grip saw me sideways on most bends but easily controllable with the engines torque.
Thanks to Pete and the board for organising it,was faultless yet again.
Great event,but was sickening seeing the yellow flags come out in our session followed by a badly smashed sprintey in view.
Its always a risk everytime you put the helmet on and your not the first by any means.
Hope your ok Keiren and back home well,.

Considering I hate my photograph being taken and usually manage to avoid anyone with cameras, you've managed to catch me in quite a few shots without me spotting you Alesi

Ha, that's some crit! Can't imagine how much fun your lad had too, good for you for putting in all that effort!
Makes me want to do something similar with mine [help I have 3] before I'ze a too ancient and before I get told off yet again for not going [you know who you are
]
If you have 3 Cars there is no excuse!
I'm planning already : Ferry - overnight Newcastle to Amsterdam then 3 hour drive to Spa. Total driving time one way around 5 Hours. As opposed to around 13+ by Car all the way.
We can stop off at one of those lovely Coffee shops they have in Amsterdam

Massive thanks to all involved with organising Spa 2012.
I very nearly didn't make it in my Vicny
but after resolving the issues from the Friday/Saturday she drove like a dream Sunday with only the single downer of another boost pipe popping off while I was out with Marco.
This year it's been a manic build up, a sticky start but it all ended with some great track time, pics and memories
The camp site was mega fun and made life very easy with it only being 5 minutes from the track. We all had a great time and the FCSS crew hopes to be back next year even though I said I can't keep doing this!
Thanks to Magoo for his spare expansion cap (I've got a replacement here for Reuben mate
) along with the beer and rocket fuel alcohol
Pics and videos to follow on the official thread.

Lol not 3 cars, 3 lads!!!
I was also doing some research on long distance ferries, mainly the Hull-Rotterdam or ?Bruges? last night, seems to me the most sensible way to go
From this POTW that amount of driving before trying the track is not good news - sounds like you made the best of it in spite of it though, but the way back must have been tiresome.
Coffee shops?? I know just what you mean, I'm up for it
Broke the news of this possibility gently to Mrs Ed last night, just back from A&E an hour ago
Are the dates for 2013 up already? Surely not, give the maestro a break!
Oh and btw guys don't all rush to tell me who the Coopfather is, I found out already from my foreign correspondent
Beards are no bad thing, eh, Mr P

Yes I've got 3 of them to. Dont bring any of them it'll be cheaper. Unless you need them to keep you sensible, which is always needed in my case
Correct, dates are not known yet I was just doing pre-planning do give a rough estimate on costs.
As I cant spend as again, as I spent this year

Dad and I arrived back safely yesterday afternoon after an extra 3 nights spent in Ghent and Bruges.
As usual a big thankyou is owed to Pete and anyone else involved for all the hard organisational work. The Spa weekend was absolutely brilliant.
Another thankyou is owed to Joe and Gill for their hospitality and for helping with the language barrier is restaurants etc. Cheers guys.
And also thanks to Dan & Jodie for sharing the chalet with us and doing the booking. Staying at the campsite was great fun with so many familiar and friendly faces.
This was my second time at Spa and was just as good as the first. Maybe do it again next year eh?
