Well absolutely...be sure to email Robin as instructed earlier in the thread, if you want to be included in any group booking nonsense that's going on. However you need to make your own BookaTrack transactions etc, I think.

Do you get a deal if you do both days?

Spot who's not ready the whole thread!

He has offered all the S_E'rs who are doing Spa on the Saturday, a special offer of £105 if they would like to do Sunday as well. This is not on the site and only applies to us, so please do not pass it on elsewhere.

If anybody is interested then let me know.

Oh bollocks, I have just come back from holiday and seen this thread!! Not sure if I can justify two trips to the ring within 6 weeks of each other!!

Paul, it's not a trip to the ring, as such, it's a trip to drive Spa. The ring simply provides the best value for money hospitality the night before :-)

Cheers,
Robin

Sounds good. Does anyone else fancy a Thursday crossing, and trying to get the to Ring (or at least partway there) on the Tuhursday? (i.e. if we dont make it at least being a good part of the way through continental Europe for being their first thing Friday morning?)

I think thats what Ron and i are hoping to do.

Beer wise with Robin on this - esepcially if you have never driven either of these tracks before. You want to be on the pinnacle of form for both :thumbsup

Clearly a few post track though is essential :cheers
I would be up for doing a thursday crossing if it is okay to tag along,

is everyone now booking for the Saturday and Sunday at Spa since we are getting such a good deal?

I think I'll only do the Saturday as although the track cost is very cheap the running on track is not. They don't make tyres that would last 2 days at spa for me. :lol: That and I've done Spa three times already. 2 x Dry and one Wet. :lol:

I fancy 2 days at the Ring though so considering going a day early to get there for Thursday opening. :twisted:

LAST ORDERS AT THE BAR PLEASE

I'm going to try to do all the bookings on Friday morning. If you've emailed/pm'd me and not received a reply, or if my reply asked you to clarify anything, please email me before tomorrow evening. If you haven't yet emailed me and want me to make a booking for you please note:

I'm booking some people for Thursday & Friday at Nurburg, others for just Friday.

For some people I'm booking somewhere in Kent for Thursday night (Canterbury/Ashford/Maidstone).

If you email me, please be clear about which of these options you're after.

Cheers,
Robin

Wonder if the following means Spa may become cheaper...or disappear altogether!

I'm getting so jealous reading this topic!

Elise is off the road now, impending baby arrival means I can't justify the Spa trip this year, so look out for me posting this time next year!!!

I know the feeling very well, so I sympathise totally.

But take care of the car, and eventually, your Elise Life will come back to you ... a few of us here are living proof! And then there is Andy G, who seems to get away with murder regardless... ;-)
