I believe the insurance doesn't cover the recovery of the vehicle or will only reimburse you up To £200 towards the recovery afterwards. I could be wrong as i dont have the documents to hand

Yes just for one day although your car will be a lot cheaper than mine so you shouldn't be looking at anymore than £120.00 give or take :thumleft:

Sent this Email this Afternoon to the Hotel :P
Dear Sir,

There is a small group of us staying at your Hotel from Monday 1st October to Wednesday 3rd October as we are attending Spa-Francorchamps on the Tuesday. We are meeting up with a few more friends on the day at the Track Circuit.

What we would like to do is have Dinner back at the Hotel on Tuesday Evening for 20 of us to sit down.

If you are still doing Buffet type package’s and feel that would be a better option for us, then can you please give me more details. Also if you need a deposit from us then let me know and payment would then be made.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Faithfully

Nigel P Tietjen

Just a reminder to make sure you all got £25 Sterling on you on the day, as Kelly will need to pay Circuit Days £300 for the 2 garages we have on hire :thumleft:

1 month 21 days to go boys and girls :arrow:

All being well Ranjan will be joining us on the day with one of his many cars he has scattered around the world :thumright:

There are only 12 cars plus Ranjan if he is taking part on the track :P

Two cars are arriving on trailer's so all their stuff will be in the towing cars, but will be using the garages some of the time i.e if they need to work on their cars :thumleft:

I will be on track!
I can vouch for the quality of the lavatory!!
I will keep my car outside.
The garages are really there if you need to work on your car not for storage; the exception being if you have an open topped race car.

Yokohama ad08r are good for road and track as are a lot of semi slicks, the nankang ns2r that I had before lasted 2 years of road and track use, they weren't brilliant on track but better than road tyres, so far the ad08r's have been a vast improvement.
