There are a few of us thinking about going to Spa-Francorchamps in October 2022 assumming there aren't any complicated travel arrangements, mainly from our UK Government Names interested so far : GSB / Ian.M / Webbo85 / SeanP Events Team

April is too soon as that only gives you 5 months to save about £1,500 to pay for the trip Events Team

That’s a surprise James. At 410 miles return drive it to far for me to drive and too costly.

Was probably my favourite track day so far, and keen go back! Would be great for it to become a recurring event for the club.

Silverstone have announced they will not host 3rd party TDO events in 2022 which suggests any track days there will be more expensive than currently with independent TDOs.

No dates announced, but their website says ‘from £319’..
Looks like that was the first and last time I’ll be driving Silverstone

Looking at Snetterton 300 with Circuit Days on Saturday 5th February at
£119 early bird price + garage hire at £40
I still have
£210 worth of credit left to spend
, hence why we are suggesting October instead
