Yep me too, although I think driving up for that time in the morning is a little too early so might need to find somewhere near the tunnel that’s safe leaving the car overnight if anyone has any recommendations?
thanks, I last went in 2019, I thought it was a hotel I collected fromI think at the petrol station again, like last year

Come on guys, we need stories and pics. I love the Spa Classic. I've seen video on youtube - there doesn't appear to be many spectators.
Paradise for me!
Big changes since I was there - old grandstands removed and track run-off provided.

I found it easy to learn because of the elevation changes and landmarks. The worst for me has been Rockingham especially the flat infield. I never knew where I was.

I was last at Spa in 1996 (with old bus stop layout) racing my MG. Half hour practice then half hour race. It was only when I got home did I fully realise where I was on track and why some corners I never got right
Wow that does surprise me. All the corners are different.I was last at Spa in 1996 (with old bus stop layout) racing my MG. Half hour practice then half hour race. It was only when I got home did I fully realise where I was on track and why some corners I never got right
Before I go on track I need to have a diagram of the circuit in my mind. Then as I'm driving I can predict the corners and know where I am.
Years as a navigator probably helped.
Could you draw the circuit without any help? If not you are 'driving on site' or remembering just parts from previous laps.

Circuit Days run track days over two consecutive days. I've twice been over for 4 day mini breaks, where we hire a b&b and also take in the Ring which isn't too far away. With two days of open pit lane you get plenty of time on track
These guys @Rushingphil ?

Looks like I'm out of luck this year with them.

Correct! I may be wrong, but I think that Circuit Days are the only outfit that offer the consecutive days.
Used Trackdays for plenty of UK events
