Spa & Nurburgring August b/h weekend
A few of us have booked the MLR trackday at Spa for Monday 28th August. We are planning to go out early on maybe the Thursday or Friday and take in the Nurburgring on Saturday/ Sunday before going to Spa - as they are only about 50 miles apart.
If you're interested then post your name on this thread and keep an eye on it to see how it develops. I expect the MLR tickets to sell out pretty quickly. The Spa trackday is £149 for MLR members and £169 for non members - book here
We may also be able to arrange ferry and hotel bookings.
Cheers
Terry

Guys think I will catch the 07:00 Speed Ferries crossing to Boulogne on Friday morning, If you up for the same crossing will book while its cheap.
Will aim to meet MRK, Roger at the Ring me thinks Prague is just that little bit to far.

Yeah, I agree with you there Stormy.
Let's save our money for a 12-lap ticket on the Ring and a wicked time at Spa. Oh and a few beers in the evening of course
Also how about getting the ferry back on the Tuesday, rather than Monday? So we don't have to rush back after Spa?
Cheers

Hi Peeps!
Looks like re-union No2
A few of us are probably arriving at Cochem on the Wed (beautiful wee town neat The Ring) and staying Wed, Thu & Fri nights for some quiet mid-week laps and a bit of W/E carnage/motorbikeage then heading through to the Tuners show at Spa on the Saturday for Sat, Sun & Mon nights - can't wait
We're sailing Rosyth -> Zebrugge btw... Prague is too far away for this particular trip - just sticking to The Ring & Spa
Cheers
Rog
