Spa: 1st Oct Lotus only + 15th & 16th June all LOT members

Post by Scotty C » Mon Dec 15, 2008 12:03 pm

Run by LOT. Now live in the website.

I hope to be racing there on the 2nd /3rd. Come on £200 for a Full day on Spa inc BBQ :thumbsup

1-10-2009

After numerous track days at Spa in conjunction with our friends at Autotrack we have our first ever exclusive day at what is arguably F1's greatest race circuit.

The day is ideal for anyone who wishes to stay at Spa for the weekend and watch the Elise Trophy/Lotus Cup Europe round that is taking place 2nd Oct-4th Oct. There is a whole host of other great racing at Spa that weekend.

Alternatively some may wish to make the day into a double header with our day at Croix-en-Ternois on the Friday 2nd October. Croix is 2.5 hrs drive from Spa and can easily be done after the day has finished at Spa. This then makes an ideal lead into a weekend in Northern France or an easy return to the UK on Friday night (croix is an hour from Calais)

Unfortunately due to the nature of this day at Spa we have to put two conditions on the day:-

* The day is only open to Lotus produced cars and Caterhams, this does include Speedsters/VX220's but we can't accept any other type of car unfortunately.

* The day is only suitable to drivers who have attended at least one other trackday. We do expect this day to be more suitable to all levels of drivers than our usual days at Spa due to the reduced mix of car types but it is not suitable as a first trackday.

(we will have at least 2 more days at Spa in 2009 in conjunction with Autotrack as with the last 4/5 years)

Thats pretty cheap. Autotrack charge £250 and £70 for a 2nd driver. No bbq either. I doubt i would get away with sticking a lotus badge on my subaru though. :(

Ooh, I had decided that one thing I wanted to do next year was a trackday at Spa.

Looks like this would be a good one to go to!! Just waiting on confirmation from Tut of the deal to join LOT for the Croft / Knockhill double header ;)

The list:
