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 :D

Booked Ill be there Terry, spoke to John last night Too

whats the 'all in' price not including petrol of course :D ferry/hotel/trackdays?

i might be tempted ;)

Dunno yet mate. The 1st thing you need to do is book the Spa trackday on the MLR. We'll worry about other details at a later date.

I may have more details after 6th Feb

Cheers

Terry

This will be bookable via SIDC Store Shortly

im up for this :D depending on the hotal package price not too fussed about doing spa but the ring is a must

Dazzer - Spa is a must too - have you seen it in action - probably THE best track to drive in the world.

Of course the Ring is too :D:D:D

Im thinking of cost implications Tel,ideally id love to do both but ill have to weigh up the costs of hotel/ferry and tracktime not forgetting fuel but im definately interested in going

Just booked through SIDC. Terry keep the details coming about the ring as well :)

I'm on our family holiday sometime around then, so don't think I'll be able to make this one :( plus, I'll be saving for the euro trip in 2007 :)
Have a good one chaps,
chris.

Nice one Stuart :D

Chris - you could always take your family holiday to Belgium and then happen to come across us all by chance :D:D:D

As much as I would like to try that terry, I'm sure the wife would cotton on to it as I packed my helmet and driving shoes :)

:lol:

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 :D:D:D

Also how about getting the ferry back on the Tuesday, rather than Monday? So we don't have to rush back after Spa?

Cheers

Terry

Guys what if the ring is not open at that time? New calender is not due for release until end of feb, and august is a busy time for other events at the ring?

"Also how about getting the ferry back on the Tuesday, rather than Monday? So we don't have to rush back after Spa?"

Need to back to work as I dont have much leave left would aim for the 23:00
ferry for a relaxed journey back.

Saw your estimated costs Terry so looks like car will have to stay as it is till next year:-)

Appreciate that mate, but it is a bank holiday weekend and so I'm hoping it will be a big public access weekend. Spa is booked for the 28th anyhow - so will have to wait and see if we can do the Ring too :D

Obviously costs assume the Ring is open too.

23:00 ferry could be an option too. I'll just sleep all day the following day :D:D:D

Big public access weekends are the worst.

I know what you mean mate - but at least hopefully it will be open :D

And if its too busy fine we go for some German beer, Hey maybe going on last years form it will rain for every track event. No q's very few bikers and a nappy recommended :-)

I didnt see rain in 7 trips last year :D

I tell a lie it rained the day I got there once, but I hadn;t picked my car up from Ring racing so it was irrelevant.

Gary

Lucky fella - 2 consecutive days last year and both with rain :(

But not next time - I read it in me tea leaves :D:D:D

Hi Peeps!

Looks like re-union No2 :D

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 :eek: then heading through to the Tuners show at Spa on the Saturday for Sat, Sun & Mon nights - can't wait :D

We're sailing Rosyth -> Zebrugge btw... Prague is too far away for this particular trip - just sticking to The Ring & Spa :D

Cheers :)
