Since there's some interest gaining ground in a track day at Spa next year, I think a separate thread is required 
People who have expressed an interest:
Let's have a show of interest please, and consider this trip will almost certainly be worth extending into a bit of a bigger European trip.
Rough costs will be:
Track day at Spa - £400
Tunnel/Ferry - £100
Hotels - £100 per room per night, say. Well, mine will be at least that anyway - if you want to use Formule1, then go ahead...
Meals/drinks - £50 per day
Fuel - maybe £500? from Calais?
Insurance (track) - £150
Insurance (breakdown) - £70
...making it a minimum budget of £1500, with £900 of that being directly on the track & fuel spend.
Due to the long distance from home, breakdown insurance will certainly be required. Might be useful to have someone drive a support van with spare wheels, tyres, brake pads, oil, tools etc. We will all need to pay for that if we run that option, but could be one of us if a couple of people are prepared to share a track car.
With the above budget in mind, can we have a show of GENUINE interest for a Spa day next year, let's say in July/August/September to give us the best chance of decent weather. We can then talk to the track day companies & hotels about sorting a group discount.
