Anyone found any good video of complete laps of Spa? I've had a bit of a trawl through youtube but it's difficult to get much idea of the lie of the land. chinky chinky

Lucky enough to have done 2 hours on spa on a motorbike, and, to have the whole track for my own personal use for 2 days. Sadly I mainly got to walk it, cycle, or go around in a Nissan Primera as I was gathering data for creating it in computer graphics for a formula one car simulator. So no video just thousands of photos and measurements. Ho hum. Martin s

Martin s

Could be tempted Martin. Brugge is a nice place for a stopover. thumbsup

When you say on the way home, which night do you mean? After finishing up at Spa?

Will probably be booking the crossing through the Tesco clubcard route to get the crossing at 25% of the ticket price.

I can never seem to get the clubcard site to work for me , always says email not registered or card is already registered.

We really need to get in tune on this and maybe all get the same itinerary? I for one would prefer to convoy there and back and have dinners and drinks of an evening with the group. C'mon Jimmy, organise a schedule.
