I'm up for next year for sure. Really missed it this time. The place gets under your skin!

So true!!!
Aching to get back into those swifts!

 

[Coog]

I'd quite like to take the Mazda. I'll put a few track days under its belt next year and see how it behaves!

 

[Arfur]

The Mazda would be the job! I'd love to get something with extra torque for the hill.

Hey @Mont

I didnt realise you had replied, I had some flakey reception also, I got to the track nice and early Sat morning, 4 laps in before 10am as the track wasnt so busy at that time. Some amount of closures during the day.

Nigel took me a run in the GT3 and im sure its just as quick as the Ring taxi, so know the feeling!

Was a great weekend, deffo an annual trip for me, if i cant get across more often. Did you get yourself Steak on a stone? we had booked the pistenklause for Friday night, so didnt wanna go back 2nd night in a row.

Will try organise a big group next year if your up for it.

Yeah we got steak on a stone on the Saturday night. It was a neat little place. Not what I expected but still really good all the same.

I got back on Monday night. Totally knackered but still buzzing. The whole thing was so much better than I'd expected it to be and I'd def be interested in going back again next year if I can.

These were my favourite pics from the weekend.





Oh and I noticed that Metro as well lol

1:34, pants filled. What an idiot!

 

[Coog]

Big oil spill! I wonder if the guy that dropped the oil is responsible for the carnage or is it a case of everyone sucking it up? Anyone know?

I think the guy who spilled the oil is on for it from what I know.

 

[Coog]

Jeez that would be a brutal bill!

 

[300trophy]

Anyone got any laps they are willing to sell? I go on Friday and would be willing to take them off someone's hands .

 

[300trophy]

Nice view this morning!

 

[Coog]

You staying in Adenau?

I am indeed, Hotel an der Nordschleife. Only staying for the one night as heading to Spa later on. Raring to get out for a couple of laps this morning though!

 

[Coog]

I see a few from the mx5 club are there today too. Looks like a good crowd at it. Have fun!!

 

[Cooper]

It's a stunning part of the world. More pics when you get up there!

 

[Marc]

Enjoy! Looks lovely!

 

[Mont]

How did you get on @Eddie_ ?

Any more pics?

 

[RoniN]

Wee Swift takes a hard knock.

Cheers

 

[Coog]

[Lyons]

Was that Cooper in the Megane?

Had a great time, enjoyed Spa much much more than the Ring. So much busier this time compared to last time I was there, too many closures etc but still managed 3 laps on the Sunday before leaving for Spa. Plenty of exotic machinery there, and myself lol...

There was also an orange 675LT there but no pics of it sadly . Driven by a Yank who now lives close to the Ring, brings his 3 year old son there to TF days for a bit of 'fun' lol.

How much was spa @Eddie_ and was it part of a track day rather than arrive and drive? I agree that the ring is very busy.

It was part of a Renaultsport arranged day, it worked out around £240 for the day including a passenger. That was 6 x 20 minute sessions. I had looked at going back this weekend for an open pit lane and it was £350 for the day.

Spa was epic though. Such a well run day and brilliant track.

Sounds decent value @nigelmcg next time?

Bump... didn't see a thread for 2017.

I'm potentially heading back to Spa in October and taking the Clio this time but I've noticed that there is a TF day on Sunday 1st October and a TF evening on Monday 2nd. Anyone be out there on those dates? Or is anyone doing the Circuit Days track day at Spa on Tuesday 3rd October?
