Nah, that would be a waste. I'd only get a half day at the Ring Sunday, and would waste all of Monday...

Expensive summer then Sonny!

I'm a bit tied, as the wife's having our 2nd bab at the end of July, so I can't go away then...

Obviously doing Ring and Spa together makes more sense doing just the one trip. Will try and sort out today.

Congrats Carl to you and your Missus.

Yep makes sence....

however, saying that If I do more track days in the UK I will put off the Ring until the Spa&Ring trip.

Im looking forward to Cadwell park.

BTW Im about 90% def that I will be doing a evening at Brands on the 1st May. Will confirm in the week.

Well head out with you guys on the sat to the ring but do the extra day at spa. I will be in the clio so fuel costs will be lower. Was tempting to do that
Closed session at the ring on the monday but will work out to expensive.

Still empted by the Nurburgring 700.

It's £1000/car, but includes train/hotel for 2 days, brekkers and a buffet on the Monday night, as well as a free TD back in the UK next year.
If you take out the train cost, hotel/brekkers/meal, and UK TD in 2013 (as these are costs you'd incurr anyway), it means the private TD at the Ring on Monday 8th is < £400, which is great VFM.

But as Sonny says, will make a very expensive trip.

So far Spa on Tues 9th is FULL according to their website, but will call them tomorrow and find out if they can squeeze another one in. Otherwise I'll either be doing Ring on Mon 8th or Spa on the Weds 10th. Cant really be away from Sunday to Wednesday...
