I don't know how many places there are, but it would be a shame if they were to sell out and some of the maybes couldn't end up going ... so if you're serious, book up!
Also, for those thinking of the eurotunnel, at present you can book a short-stay-saver for 40-50 each way, leaving as early as the thursday and returning as late as the monday. For hardcore pikies you can do the overnight special, e.g. out at 05:48 on Friday am, return at 21:20 Saturday pm, 44 quid round trip

It's 4.5 hours Calais to the ring; on the way out you gain an hour (i.e. you arrive when you left, approximately) so you can be at the ring for say 11:00 on the Friday if you take the 05:48 train - though that does mean either a 23:00 Thursday pm departure from Edinburgh or spending the Thursday driving to the south of England first.
It's 1.5 hours ring to Spa, so it would be possible to stay in Nurburg for Friday night, drive to the track, do the track day, drive back to England or even Scotland. This has the distinct advantage of not requiring one to stay a night in Belgium


Andy, it's obviously the Blitz Krieg as we'll be invading Belgium on day 1, and, err, by day 2 it'll be all over

Cheers,
