Yes there's nothing better then thinking your getting in a few laps before lunch, to find your car has no fuel when everyone else has been ragging it while you've been teaching :roll:

Sounds like a plan! That's me on the reserves list for LOT> I've booked Hotel De La Source on the offchance too
There seem to have been a few names added since mine so reserve places must be becoming available

Looks like ill be going out on the 14th back on 17th too. Misses not too happy about the Amsterdam leg of the trip but claims its a childcare issue. Nevermind Im still as excited as a dog chasing its own tail.
Not long now :thumbsup

Not long now guys :) The age old tyres question. Wet or dry? Well T1rs or R888s

I've been having the same conundrum, but it's A039's or A048's for me. Swaying towards the 48's at the moment - if it's wet you'll just have to go a bit slower, but it's looking like it'll be dry at the moment - http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Racing/ ... spx?sday=7

Go with a wet setup. This works whether wet or dry. A dry setup can fail in the wet. Just ask Tut. McKean will tell you different, I think, so it depends upon your talent levels.

I would also guess that with the scale of the track and distance between corners etc, "wets" would be less likely to go off on a dry track than somewhere tighter like Knockhill. Whereas if it's proper wet, "dry's" could go off at the first corner. Literally ;-)

Final point. If you are driving there, a wet setup offers 2 advantages if it rains en route. Getting there without crashing. Getting home without crashing. :thumbsup

I take it there is no support barge going which might take set of wheels or tyres for people?



Disclaimer: For avoidance of doubt, at least some of the above is from direct experience. Yes I have driven Spa, yes I totally loved it, yes it was tipping it down, yes I was in a lowly powered S1, yes I had a wet setup.
