I cant be fooked with all that spa bollocks personally, i just want to get over to the ring and spend as much time there as possible, cant be arsed with losing a days potential track time to go touring round europe to shows or watch at other tracks TBH, i would sooner just do spa another time, preferabley by flying over there.


Easter time is cool for me, i think there will be quite a few more of us by then as well as i think every single person who went this time will make sure they go again and there are loads of people who wanted to come this time who couldnt.

I think best thing would be to book a whole hotel up for everyone to stay in (and with an annexe for nutter )

I meant a trackday at Spa enroute as its the best short circuit (compared to 'Ring) in Europe imo

Id still sooner go straight to the ring personally, dont get long enough over there each time as it is.

We can always head over in two groups though, half going straight to the ring and half going via Spa

Im probably going to book into the hotel "zurburg" as we stayed there before.

Mike will be in his normal hotel as his daughter only goes to germany to see their dogs at the hotel, but he probably wont want his family bliss wrecked by 30 of us all charging up and down the corridors pissed so dont expect him to tell you which hotel it is
