Can I just be the first to say, Booooooo!!! :lol:

I'd just like to second that Boooooooo !!!

I was looking forward to the ring trip next year. :rolleyes:

TBH i've always wanted to drive Spa but I'd rather not do it instead of the 'ring. Although at the moment I'm thinking both thumbsup

Yeah, me too, driving Eau Rouge would still be really cool and I'm wondering about doing both trips too. thumbsup

Too early for me to commit to this but definitely interested. I was already planning to do Zolder next year. For me it would have to be through a decent trackday company like LoT or Goldtrack. Also not sure if you can get insurance for Spa - if that matters? chinky chinky

Not easily. Most insurers rule it out along with the 'ring.

Indeed. I'm sure we can rustle up a group for the 'ring. If this year was anything to go by it will be awesome!

Zolder and Spa are both covered by CCI , but only 1 euro day is included in the normal policy. Simply, if it is a FIA standard circuit then its okay.

Handy to know. thumbsup Everyone I tried for insurance a couple of years back specifically excluded the 'ring and Spa.

Lisa told me earlier she still wants to do the Ring too if we can afford it, so it might be GAME ON for that too :)



SPA is defo covered by CCI, and as long as we play it with the best chance of good weather will be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spa was the venue of my first proper track day and had no problems at all (apart from a lack of talent). However I was very fortunate to meet up with danger7 who showed me the ropes as he's a bit of a spa veteran. The only other problem is if you start with spa all other tracks suffer by comparison.

I'd be up for this and if Zolder could be worked in somehow then all the better.

BaT do, but they are very expensive. I am going to talk to Paul Golding about this, and see what we can sort, or am going to look at RMA
