So things have been a little bit quiet on here for the past month. Been waiting for Spa to arrive. In the mean time I've sold my van and ordered a new one from VW which will be arriving at some point during June.
Final bits of prep for the two track days coming up at Spa Francorchamps. Started off last week with some fresh rubber fitted to the track wheels, cleaned and wrapped up in some wheel bags ready to be loaded up.
Friday - Van all loaded up on it's last trip away. Clio all loaded onto the trailer ready to depart from the North West at 4pm.
Jumped on a ferry from Dover to Calais at 1am Saturday morning and slowly made our way through France into Belgium. Grabbing a couple of hours sleep between 5-7am. Made it to the town of Francorchamp around 11am. Calling into the circuit to look at the Fun Cup racing for the afternoon.
3 track cars parked on the drive way of the house in Francorchamps 5 minutes from the circuit.
Sunday - After a chilled start to the morning we took the afternoon to do a track walk around the whole 7km circuit watching the racing and getting a good view of the whole track. Good to walk around the whole track with some people who are pretty seasoned on the track, giving some pointers and tip along the way.
The elevation change and the scenery around the track walk was amazing! It's been great to get out here 3 days before the actual trackdays and have a few days to our selves relaxing and exploring.
Monday - Started off with a explore around Stavlot and the motorsport museum before going back to the circuit to watch a public driving day for a few hours.
Spent this evening washing all the track cars to get rid of all the road grime from the 550 miles driving over here in poor conditions.
Ready to get out around the Circuit in the morning!
