Spa SATURDAY 29/10 £135.00 (Possible Ring/Spa combo)
That's right it is on a SATURDAY so hurry up
. Session day
. 3 groups: beginners, intermediate and experts
. Price: GBP 135
. Passengers go for free, that's an extra with other events
. Instruction for free by professional drivers (5 of them on tap!), you drive they explain or they drive your car and you look, you decide, again an extra with other events
. F1 pit garages could be arranged if requested. I can look into this if it is really important for you. Last time we got 2 garages for free to change our tyres and store our gear. I can check for you if you are interested, might be a cost with this one like any other event. tbc
. each group gets 6 sessions of 25 minutes on track, this is a lot of track time, on open pit lane most people don't drive that much by themselves. I wasn't keen on the idea but it really worked well for all of us last time
. Road legal cars only but slicks are allowed (in other words no prototypes / F1's and the like). There isn't a scrutenering or anything, just common sense.
. You can drive in other groups if a friend doesn't want or cannot drive (brake down, tired, ...), just take his pass and go, not a problem. Trust me a few peeps in our group dropped 1 of their sessions.
. 1st lap behind a pace car, if you can follow it that is! Audi RS6 or GT3RS on semi slicks driven by a pro driver so not so pace full!
. Sessions follow each other in a very smooth way, without any lag, no time is wasted
. The great thing about sessions is that abilities / car performances are better grouped together. If you have never been to Spa or even any track day just go in the beginners session at least you won't be harassed by wanna be Schumacker's! Or if you know the track just go in the expert group.
. The second great thing about sessions days is that if you really want to treat yourself to a few laps on your own at Spa then just queue early for your session and be right behind the pace car, you'll have 3 or 4 laps on your own before you catch the back markers (car and driver ability permitting that is!).
. Overtaking rules are extremely simple, no restrictions other then be a gentleman. Outbraking is allowed as long as it is done safely for all parties, people behaving rudly will be black flaged and banned. It is all about respect, no it is not a race but freedom is there for you to choose. Most peeps will indicate and move over when you catch them anyway. But outbraking someone at the end of the Kemer straight is nice!
. Catering service made a delicious BBQ as much as you can eat last time for 10 euros!
. The organizer tells me that he will also host an automobile 'car boot sale' on the day so if you have anything car related that you want to get ride of that will be the day!
. This day is organized in a very very friendly way, no long scary speech at the beginning just a few pointers and reminders for the day and go have fun.
And the great news about this date other then it is extreamly cheap for such an opportunity is that it is a Saturday and even better, the ring is open on the following Sunday! Saturday track days at Spa are extreamly rare. Don't miss it, you could get a Spa/Ring combo without having to take too many days off work if you want.
