Not really mate. As I mentioned on Eug's thread, the average price for a trackday at Spa is around the £220-£250 region regardless of month.

Good to see you on board, Sam, Leigh, Timmy :cool: :)
The Spa trackday will take place on Monday 3rd October and is in collaboration with Circuit Days (www.circuit-days.co.uk). They come highly recommended, have a very good reputation, and after exchanging emails with Chris Hoey (who runs the show), I have no doubt that this will be a blinder of a trackday, and hopefully the start of more trackdays with his company, as well as our, and not forgetting, good friends at Track-action online of course.
Price wise, with a bit of haggling, it's £225 per car.
That in itself is a great price for a Spa trackday, but here's some extra winnity win: There's no additional costs for extra drivers & passengers (although there is a limit of 4 drivers/passengers per car), so if you & a couple of mates, for example, wanted to share the trackday driving 1 car, that's £75 each. Lovely jubbly :)
I'll move this thread to the (October) Events section at some point over the weekend, and will mention then how to pay, what to quote for the discount, etc.
Regarding Nurburgring, the October opening dates haven't been released yet (and probably won't be for a couple more months), so it could be that we go to the 'Ring on the weekend before Spa, the weekdays after Spa, or maybe not at all (depending upon those opening dates).
That'll dictate hotels & ferry crossings, unless the majority now just want to go to Spa instead? If so, I can start looking into the aforementioned now...
:cool::cool::cool::agree::agree::agree:
Excellent stuff Mart - that really is a good deal - especially as my car is a 50% share :cooter:
Cheaper than most uk track days!!!!
Now how do I tell sarah the family holiday is on hold so I can finish the track project :coffee:
DG
Thats a excellent price for spa, i myself wont be doing spa, but will go to spectate.
Personally i would reather head out the friday before ,have the saturday & sunday at the ring, maybe head to spa sunday night or early morning on monday.... not to many beers the night before...
Spa trackday payment details...
Please book your space by calling Circuit Days on 01302 743827, and for the £225 price, quote 'Renault Turbo Owners Club' when booking.
Because of the popularity of Spa trackdays, they can't reserve us any spaces unfortunately, so this is on a 'first come, first served' basis, hence I'd advise paying asap.
If you decide to leave it a few months until payment, don't blame me if there's then no spaces available for you! :cry:
Nurburgring/hotel/ferry crossing details to follow...
The pressure :coffee: - after getting super stung on baby photos (don't ask how much) cams, verniers, a lot of service items for sarahs's car, mothers day costs I can't book until next pay day (23rd) :cry:
Have you booked yours then Mart?
DG
Anyone paid yet, or is the rtoc 'rule of 3' already in motion? :crap:
Well on top of my current months pain I have only gone and got an S3 as my runabout and collect the SR20DET engine tomorrow so it DEF waiting till next month Mart :cry:
You booked yet then?
Whats the numbers left currently for the track?
DG

Emailed you back Mart but I am 95% certain for this one and may just book up at the end of the month. Just in the back of my mind have reservations of the new track beast been ready for a full attack of Spa - It highlighted stg 2 mods to the old VAG R5 there back in the day with temps but then the std 1.4 polo rad with 270bhp was never really not the best idea :sad2: and a decent alloy job solved it :coffee:
I hope Mallory will be a good shake down but would really like a bigger track to test it to distruction before dragging it over on a trailor. See what I can fit in over the summer :agree:
Some friends just back from Spa in the vx220's and brought back all the GREAT memories of that track day....it REALLY is that good
DG
Im keen to book this with chris, i just dont want to be there on me own...:cry:, i havent been able to make quite a few events due to little livvy etc so id love to do this one....is anyone else a defeinete?.... also would anyone want to come as a passenger with ole matty....:)
I'm a definite, 100%.
Edit: Providing the price of fuel hasn't reached a (more) stupid figure come Autumn time...
Sod it IM in!
Collected the big bad SR20DET lump last night so its game on :sad2:
DG
poss passenger for the road trip...chat over grub tomoz nite matty...:agree::)Quote:

At least have the courtesy to reply back, or even remove your name from the list, if you now don't want to go.
:dearme:
not many 'loyal' folk around these days mart....:crap:Quote:

It would appear so mate. Even having the decency to simply acknowledge the PM would've sufficed.Quote:

BOOKED and paid for :cool::cool::cool:
DG
the date is allready fix ?
when the date is 03.10 i stay there and wait .
Yep, the Spa trackday is definitely on Monday 3rd October.
However, due to lack of interest, I'm going to close this thread & end any organising involvement there.
To my knowledge, only 2 of us have paid, and only 3 bothered replying to the group (name list wise) PM, so no point in flogging a seemingly dead horse.
Just to let people know, incase anyone is still considering the Spa trackday and/or a drive out there for the weekend, that the Nordschleife is open all day on the Saturday & Sunday before the Spa event on Monday.
However, it isn't open the weekdays after Spa/Monday.
I'll unlock this thread for a while, just incase there's now a renewed interest in going...
Could well be interested in the ring before hand... :)
Yeah I agree Penfold, anything is better than the hand.... :laugh:Quote:

Gunters??? I will get it booked :) i will most likely go via eurotunnel (tesco coupons FTW)Quote:

Gunthers or Schaefer hotel is what I was originally thinking, but only for the Saturday night for me, as I need to be local to Spa for the early Monday morning start.
I'm looking into cheapy hotels at Spa as well, if you guys wanted to make a day of it at Spa, staying the night, then heading home Tuesday?
