magnetic GB, would the latter be easy to nick? Yes, but, 1) who on the continent would want to be part of GB 2) will it actually be valid after "The Referendum" Surly one way or other your plate should be Alba or Sco? All said in jest, in case anyone were to take offence Thanks for the list, jease! Those Europeans want just about everything!

Currently looking at the possibility of making an appearance at Spa, though I would be Coupéless...

Good stuff Bob, as long as you bring your drinking hat - why no Coupe though ?

@Cooperman, Yes, insurance against trackside damage such as to the Armco etc is included Ashley. track cover for the cars themselves is not.
@Gimmo, yes you do need a helmet to take part in the coupe sessions but not for the Grandes Parades.

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Useful list of things to take for Spa:Traveling to SpaFerry tickets Passport Sat Nav (optional) Accommodation address/details Mobile phone Camera Money (lots) Drinks (non alcoholic) + other (maybe) Snacks Phone charger Headache tabs + medication Compulsory for France and Belgium: Hi-vis jacket/waistcoat Emergency warning triangle - Triangle also compulsory in Netherlands GB plate (unless part of number plate) * Original Registration document Insurance Breathalyser (France only, but since 21/1/13 the fine has been rescinded and you can't be prosecuted First aid kit? Useful/nessesary things to take for track time at SpaTrack tickets Helmet/s Tyre pressure gauge Tow eye - front Oil top-up Wheel nut brace/socket Brake fluid (really?) Foot pump Latex/nitrile gloves Jack (maybe) if not in spare wheel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please amend and alter as the experience and other parties find. This is just an idea, I'm sure someone must have done this before?

A passport might be handy Ross Take plenty of drinks such as water, as prices are quite high for items like these, when you can buy 12 bottles for £2 over here. Spare oil, brake fluid, coolant, etc - all handy if you have the room for them. Trolley jack, wheel brace, latex gloves, footpump (not for the latex gloves lol). Adapter plugs for your phone chargers, etc. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen/Alka Seltzer

Thanks! Yeah I'll give you a hand. Are you bringing some tools? Thank you Nobby! I will take my boost gauge one day before start, and maybe blow off valve directly at Spa (I have to confirm to a forum member) so I will have no time to install it. What tools must I bring with me? Thanks again!

Depends what is installed at the moment. If its a standard Fiat dump valve your replacing then will need just some flat screw drivers and jubilee clips (also depends if its a recirc one - need blanking plug otherwise).
For boost gauge again you need screwdrivers, piping to plumb it in (including t pieces, small jubilee clips) and something to do the wiring (wire strippers, heatshrink/insulating tape, solder/cable joiners). Where abouts are you planning to mount it too?
Edit: Put a post in the tuning section of what you are planning to fit/replace (with photos ideally) and we can see whats needed.

I hope you all have a wonderful time. I would also like to come, but have no car till 2016 unless I buy another! Please get some video footage, the higher powered cars should really fly on this circuit.

I'll even put the data logging over it as well, here's a previous video from something else last year, clicky

Excellent. I shall look forward to some highlights. I have a suite of sorts here as i`m a long time VJ/snapper/etc. if anyone has footage and then struggles to process. Offer is open - I regularly trawl (and troll) through 20 hour HD game sessions. Fair play too. 152 mph in neutral.

It's down to you if you get track day insurance but I would get cover for France and Belgium as there are some nutter's on the road over there .

I have European insurance cover but was just uncertain over the need for track day cover?
