I hope there will be no diffs bouncing along separately at 40mph

Or I'll be in the market for a Quaife *calls Marco*

Are we paying direct to trackdays ? If so is there a fccuk code of some sort ?
And has anyone got the campsite link please ?

Beth and I drove this circuit a few years back when I had the old 1400 engine in the Caterham. A good track, with less chance of rain than Spa, but not as fast or as interesting IMO (but then Spa is exceptional). Lots of medium-fast, long, late apex corners should test the higher powered Coupes. Have fun guys.

Update for today is Dan and I are working with Trackdays to get a better discount, more to follow tomorrow.

I asked about deposits to secure your place, can't be done I'm afraid, full payment will be required on booking.

There are two campsites offering chalet accomodation, I've contacted both so waiting for reply.

Can't wait.So pissed I'm not going to experience SPA as planned but I have a feeling this is going to be awesome.

Any news on the camping ?

End of week update:

Hoping this update will cover every question raised so far.

Joe and I have been working through the layers of track day agents to now be in direct contact with the organisers on the day of the track day. Whilst this will not result in any further discount than the 5% already negotiated, there may be significant other benefits

These benefits are:

1 - A specific coupe only session on track in the afternoon.
2 - I'll say this word very quietly. Possibly free camping in the circuit for the 3 nights, using their camping facilities behind the pits (with showers, etc). This campsite is a pitch your own tents or mobile homes only (no static homes). But, there, said the "free" word This campsite is often used by race teams during their events.
3 - Free additional drivers
4 - Future discounted events

Now, I'd have liked to have firmed up agreement for all the above this week, but we are expecting confirmation on all the above early next week. So now, this is PROVISIONAL.

Additionally, there is an alternative campsite 8km from the circuit, which has static homes (like Spa). However, they are currently closed until April and we've been told not to expect any response until then.

This is their website :
http://www.eurocampings.co.uk/en/europe/...-romain-118235/

So, what I'd like all who've expressed interest so far to do is to add whether they'd be wishing to use this campsite, the alternative campsite option or would prefer a hotel nearby - so we have some numbers.

Here's the list to update;

1. Countrycruising (track day) - Camping at Le Mans
2. HoveDan (track day) - Camping at Le Mans

Yes !No choice !

Ok you're on..........does it have beds and stuff? What do i have to bring for it to be comfortable?

I've got a load of airbeds and what not. You'll just need a sleeping bag.

Just a quick note to stress that this 4 day/ 3 night jaunt is as much, if not more than, for the social side rather than simply for a track day. The social element of Spa is what I've enjoyed equally to driving the circuit.

We have 3 evenings to fill with restaurants, good food and conversation. A whole day free to explore Le Mans as well.

Even on the track day itself, there will be more idle time in the pits for chat than there will be on track!

So please, don't feel this is track day oriented as this offers a great opportunity for anyone to attend and spend a few warm summer days exploring and in good company with potentially free accommodation - just travel down or jump in a car with 4 people and split the travel costs to an absolute minimum!

..... maybe......

I may still be in the van.give my coupe a rest but few runs in bro's coupe hopefully.

Great post Dan

For us hardened Spa followers we'll miss the Belgium trip that's for sure, but maybe this can be a close second.

The track might not be as long or as exhilarating in comparison but added together with the social gathering of one passion it'll bring forth memories and stories that'll be remembered much like times past, it is what we make it
