Yes, but,
1) who on the continent would want to be part of GB
2) will it actually be valid after "The Referendum"

Surly one way or other your plate should be Alba or Sco?

All said in jest, in case anyone were to take offence

Thanks for the list, jease! Those Europeans want just about everything!

Ha, if it goes the way of a Yes vote, independence wouldn't take effect till March '16 anyway, so Bad Luck!

Anyway the SCO plates are priceless atm, but I've bought euro GB plate stickers for 95p

Currently looking at the possibility of making an appearance at Spa, though I would be Coupéless...

Good stuff Bob, as long as you bring your drinking hat - why no Coupe though ?

Won't fit in hand baggage.

See you there Bob!

Tickets received for me and Lego, thanks.

Tickets received thanks Pete. Did you say insurance is included? Just wanted to check

I must take with me helmets?

And.. at Spa there will be someone who can help me to install boost gauge and blow off valve?

Thanks!

@Cooperman, Yes, insurance against trackside damage such as to the Armco etc is included Ashley. track cover for the cars themselves is not.

@Gimmo, yes you do need a helmet to take part in the coupe sessions but not for the Grandes Parades.

Yeah I'll give you a hand. Are you bringing some tools?

Thanks for the tickets Pete
Were you assuming I might miss the boat

Please amend and alter as the experience and other parties find. This is just an idea, I'm sure someone must have done this before?

A passport might be handy Ross

Take plenty of drinks such as water, as prices are quite high for items like these, when you can buy 12 bottles for £2 over here.

Spare oil, brake fluid, coolant, etc - all handy if you have the room for them. Trolley jack, wheel brace, latex gloves, footpump (not for the latex gloves lol).

Adapter plugs for your phone chargers, etc.

Paracetamol/Ibuprofen/Alka Seltzer

Thanks T,
List amended

Thank you Nobby!
I will take my boost gauge one day before start, and maybe blow off valve directly at Spa (I have to confirm to a forum member) so I will have no time to install it.
What tools must I bring with me?

Thanks again!

Depends what is installed at the moment. If its a standard Fiat dump valve your replacing then will need just some flat screw drivers and jubilee clips (also depends if its a recirc one - need blanking plug otherwise).

For boost gauge again you need screwdrivers, piping to plumb it in (including t pieces, small jubilee clips) and something to do the wiring (wire strippers, heatshrink/insulating tape, solder/cable joiners). Where abouts are you planning to mount it too?

Edit: Put a post in the tuning section of what you are planning to fit/replace (with photos ideally) and we can see whats needed.

i'll have my tool kit with me Chris so can give you a hand .

I hope you all have a wonderful time. I would also like to come, but have no car till 2016 unless I buy another!


Please get some video footage, the higher powered cars should really fly on this circuit.

I intend to, don't worry. I'll even put the data logging over it as well, here's a previous video from something else last year, clicky

Excellent. I shall look forward to some highlights.

I have a suite of sorts here as i`m a long time VJ/snapper/etc. if anyone has footage and then struggles to process. Offer is open - I regularly trawl (and troll) through 20 hour HD game sessions.

Fair play too.
152 mph in neutral.

Any ideas re whether we need track day insurance for this event? Given its not competitive I was thinking maybe not?

It's down to you if you get track day insurance but I would get cover for France and Belgium as there are some nutter's on the road over there .

I have European insurance cover but was just uncertain over the need for track day cover?

i didn't the last time i went but kept a good lock on my rear view mirror as there are some very fast coupes out there on track .

I will likely feel like a caterham in a pack of faster cars then but it's more the chance just to drive the track for me to be honest:)

Spa tickets/wristbands etc received thankyou Pete.

New rear brake disks and pads
New brake hose
New oil
New oil filter
Sparco strut brace
Sparco pedal cover
ACDelco installed



I am ready!

On Sunday I will start for Paris, and then I will join you in Spa!
The only Coupe' from Italy!

Tickets recieved here too!
New oil, filter and brakefluid.
Seems I'm the only Coupe from Sweden, however joined by a fellow swedish GTV V6 Turbo.

I will join a friend from Vicenza (near Venice) which is on a Abarth 500 with all black.

See you soon, from my military green coop!
