From what i can gather theres two types of parking too. Bogo standard (who knows where that will be) which is what FCCUK are talking about for £60 or Paddock parking which is included in their 'packages' or at least i think it is but every single question ive asked them about this has been completely ignored

Standard is outside the circuit for non-Italian cars. IE spectators.
Paddock parking is what is included in any FCCUK package and IS included in the £60ish package and includes space for all members to park together.

This is such a shame, my trips to Spa have been 2 of the best weekends away I've had. Always talk about them. I was going to really try and make it this year, but just had a road trip to the Monaco Grand Prix and a weekend away to London. So I owe my wife the promise of a holiday before confirming another trip away! Sad to see our numbers are so far off what the club needs!

So I imagine one turns up at the counter and they allocate you a time that's available/suitable to them. For a couple of sessions..... 2 x around 100 euros = 200 Entry around 84 euros = 84 ---- Total 284 euros

Joe is correct in as far as the Scuderia sessions were 100€ for 25 minutes last year.
What DG sport is carefully trying to hide are price rises by only quoting various packages on their website. And you have to be able to read French or Dutch as the info is not all shown on the English pages yet although they do seem to be getting the English pages going now.
However I would not plan on them being that price this year as everything else has gone up by about 15-20%. The club was only able to hold the 2014 sterling price for 2015 due to the relative strength of sterling compared to last year.
edit You got me worried there Reuben, putting up a 2012 post. I thought I had posted in the wrong forum!

We have now signed the contract and paid a significant deposit for admission of up to 60 coupes and the hire of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit for 3 half hour sessions, Saturday morning from 11:30 - 12:00 am and Saturday afternoon from 5:30 - 6:00 pm and Sunday morning from 9:00 - 9:30 am.
It will be possible to buy additional track time later, but unfortunately not at our heavily discounted price.
The club will be arranging trackside damage insurance cover for all cars owned by UK nationals and cars which are registered in the UK even if driven by a non UK national.
We can now start taking formal bookings and payments.
For UK Club Members the price will be £115.00, this includes a subsidy by the club towards the trackside damage insurance.
Got me confused there for a bit too Those were the days.....spa 2012. Nice amounts of track time and reasonable costs at a great time in the year Yes 2012! There were also two 1 hour parade sessions giving you over 3 hours track time? extra sessions were £40 if IRC. It was brilliant. Maybe like the French guys - boycotting it is the best thing to do.!

Joe Magoo? Another track in France maybe?
I am gutted really but would like a trip to go ahead. The thing is that for me to go to Spa it's an 1800 klm round trip. My local track which is where I could sort a meet,track day,camping and entertainment is 750klm from Calais. So people would need to stump up the dosh(all of it) before I could go ahead. The Spa weekend is a gift from this club but not enough folks take advantage of the gift thinking it's expensive. But only because the Spa owners are taking the piss. To be honest the Le Man trip is the best value. But to late for most this year. Best place for a French weekend or a midweek event is Magny cours.I think more French lads would go also. For my part I just can't afford to do Spa this year. Most years it costs me 1500 euros plus. But I have had a lot of other stuff to deal with. It won't be the end of the great Spa trips but we may just have to think around the costs. I would do a Spa track day or a two day event with a track day company. More track time imo. I have to be honest I don't go to Spa for looking at cars. It's all about the track and the Craic with pals.

As for the "supercars" I notice them as I walk down to get food or drinks - they do nothing for me. It's a good fun weekend with people we ordinarily see perhaps once a year.

That's a massive shame. Mike and I were coming along for this. Just hadn't got our names down yet.

So for those that have not had the chance. Join in because it's great to be part of it and some really fantastic times are there for everyone.

= £208 It's more expensive Simon but can be bought on the day. Down side is you don't know who or what is going to be on the track with you.
Minimum costs from their website for only 2 sessions RATE: 1 day 195 € (£140), 2 days 360 € (£258) 1 track session (25') per day 2 entry tickets to the event The public day is much better value. Pete, if members like to go for the craic and meeting other folk and track sessions would there be mileage in organising a group entry round October 18th?

Simon, Back in 2013 when SpaItalia didn't look like it would happen again, I contacted/spoke to the Spa Circuit (not SpaItalia) people about block booking exclusive FCCUK sessions at their Public Driving Days . If IRC they were open to discussing the possibility. I will look to see if I still have the email.

I've been twice as a passenger and once with my Coupe and have loved it each time. Expensive, but a brilliant few days away and I'm glad I've had the chance to experience it

Well I've been once and told myself firmly that would be it (too slow ) ; now the nearer the time (hopefully) comes again I'm really keen to experience the whole package again as described so well above. @ Mark - worth a punt, and if you can get a reply I want to know the secret
