Wife says yes :D Just got to get the ok from work but that shouldn't be a problem.
Think it will just be the spa trackday for me. Will definately be looking for an experienced co pilot for my first few laps.

If I go I'll happily sleep off my hangover in your passenger seat whilst you find your way around ;-)

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

We stayed at NH Tropen on pre-Frolic this year. Would seem to fit the bill. :)

Cheers. not 100% that we are going to go to the Amsterdam. If there's a trip via the ring i could be persuaded.

Am I on my own here? Planning on booking over the next couple of days. Like i said don't want to travel to the ring myself for the first time. according to the timetable there's a public day on the Monday after spa. Got a friend coming with me. And another couple who would love to come if non lotus cars are allowed on spa. Anyone know how l.o.t will be about this?

Should be fine, but worth checking with them.

They might not be so keen if its their first time on track right enough.

Thanks Andy. Will give them a bell.
They are all experienced trackday driver's. Im the relative novice of the group.
Done loads of days at knockhill and a few down south. They have a dedicated Citroen Zx trackday car and they all own different Type-R Honda's. Would certainly not hold anyone up.

Would the 1 day 1 night Spa Splash and Dash version still be staying at Burgstube and visiting Steak on a Stone joint? Or are people not quite mad enough to stay in Germany for a trackday in Belgium :-)
