Team,

I've had a heads up from a fellow Evo X owner and they've a trip planned which may be very appealing to some. Please see the details and see what you think.

Now the first thing that springs to my mind is :

I'm going to have to take it easy doing both a trackday and the ring !!

SO whose up for towing me back to the blighty side ??!!

Didn't know you had an EVO as well.

You'll know the truth to the comment in my PM then

My engrish is sometimes not goot !

I havent got an Evo Steve .. friend has one as I've been enticing him into dragging his Evo along to the ring.

I've mentioned I may not pop along to this date and arrrange another where its ring only !

I'd be tempted to do Spa only, as its my FAVE circuit bar none
(Ring just too risky for me...I'm crap at platstation, so i'll never learn it LOL)

edit: We're going with BaT later in the year (March)

BaT are at Spa 3 X this year - March, July & November

A chap called Tobias at Speed Industries in Switzerland is actaully arranging a track day at the ring - as in sole use, no bikes, busses or day trippers! 450 Euro for the day but a real experience. Get the feeling my 86 would die on its ar$e (probably just on the drive over!) but I would love to go if I could scratch the pennies otgether!

Goldtrack have been running private ring days for a number of years and have only heard good things about their ring days.
BaT have looked into it and were hoping for a day this year. But it's not looking likely.

I would be very wary of going on Euro-organised trackdays as they do things very different out there - especially when it comes to safety and things like over taking rules (there are usually none). They are cheap but also over-subscribed.

This is why BaT get so heavily booked up by European drivers at Spa, because of how the day is run and the safety record
Also BaT restrict the number of cars taken in the bookings to ensure good, clear track time.
