Spa track day(s) in 2018 - anyone planning on going?

[Sir Nick]

I read that the historic only take one car in each.

I shall be booking Eurotunnel after I get back from Austria. Are we going to meet up this side or at Spa?

What's the deal with the upper ramps Stu?

The historic garages will probably take 2 Atoms line astern but they are a pain as the drop out of the back of the garages can be pretty severe. I would be more than a bit careful with your front wing!

I'm trailering over on the 08.50 on Sunday. I just like getting there early and building in emergency time in case of traffic dramas!

There is a section of tarmac that sits under where the upper pits level cantilever out. There are a lot of concrete pillars but you can easily park a bunch of cars under there all day. This is right behind the historic pit area. As long as someone gets there early enough on day one, we could easily nab an area for 4-5 Atoms without upsetting anyone. I've never seen them blocked but obviously it can happen!

Cheers,
Stu

Interesting

[Trigger]

Just wondered what people think Spa would be like in a Nomad ? Debating doing Spa in July or Zandvoort / Zolder in September - just not sure if Spa is the best one to do with a Nomad ? Its not an Atom and will never be as good but just looking for fun days really !

[wasp]

Obviously only my 2p's worth but I think Spa would be not so great in a Nomad as the corners are fundamentally quick ones. You may find that the novelty wears off a bit soon?

I've not done Zandvoort yet but Zolder has more chicanes that I imagine would be more suitable (and fun!)
I wonder if you could play on the sand dunes at Zandvoort??

That said, you may be a driving god who can hold a drift for ages!!

Whichever way you go, any trip away is always better than being at work!!

Haha - a driving God.....mmmmm - no that I am not !!

I think the Z/Z double is better tbh - will book those. Not convinced about Spa - as you say there are alot of very fast sweepers and its not exactly what the Nomad is perfect for. Now, the sand dunes........there's a thought.

Thnx Stu - confirmed exactly what I was thinking.

No worries,

If you do the double header I'll look forward to seeing you there for a beer.

I'm there with Karl and his Norfolk Bathtub Company jobbie.

Cheers,

Right - booked for Zandy - cant afford the extra day away unfortunately but will see nearer the time !

Stu - where you staying ? I have booked NH.

Trigger,

Glad you could make it.

I'm at the NH too, so will see you there.

If you are able to squeeze Zolder in, we're staying at the Pits.

Look forward to seeing you there with the new beastie.

Cheers,
Stu
