Spa 6 Hours 2013

[HorneyMX5]

My self and MrsHorneyMX5 are all set to attend this next year and after a search on the forums it seems there's a few PHers who go along. Just thought I'd throw a thread up and see what others peoples plans are.

First time for us heading to a race meet over the water and very much looking forward to it.

You'll absolutely love it m8, fantastic VFM only 25 Euro on the gate for all 3 days, brill atmosphere, great cars and no crowds. If you can try to walk the circuit ,it's well worth the effort . I'm doing the June Spa summer classic this year so probably wont make the spa 6hr. The 6hr also falls a bit strange in 2013, it coincides with the Ramparts D'Angouleme race and Goodwood. planning on doing Angouleme again for 2013 but you never know it may all change and we'll do the 6hr

Looking to do this trip too, just waiting for a few more travel options to appear, maybe a PH offer of some kind ? Travel Destinations have a camping package which looks like a good option, want something close by if poss

[HorneyMX5]

I spoke to 1st Tickets at Autosport/PH show and they confirmed they will be doing Spa 6 Hour packages and I think she said there would be a PH package.

Will be there again this year, was there last year with a Lotus Cortina. in the 6 hours.

Awesome weekend and great fun, the start to the 6 hours race is amazing to watch. 110ish cars side by side for rolling start

PH campsite page is up on 1st Tickets.

I really, really fancy this. Is it worth trying to tie in a trip to the ring at that time of the year?

[HorneyMX5]

So anyone else going? If you are keep an eye out for a green MKI MX5 with door roundals and PH smiley on the rear plate. We're camping at Camping Eau Rouge.

It seems 1st tickets either don't want to talk to me or in fact not running a PH campsite as they never responded to my requests. Booked up with www.sixhoursofspa.co.uk in the end.

Here's hoping for good weather!

Best event by far.
Great racing
Great viewing,even get to walk around the pits n chat to guys in the garages.
Just a fantastic event.

I'll be there with my bro in his TR6. Will PH be doing a ticket offer this year does anyone know? It's an awesome event with unrivalled access to some fantastic racing cars. I wonder if monkey will be racing this year? The U2TC category is one of my favourites across the weekend

Hope to see some of you there

Hi all...........
The other half and I are booked on the 4am ferry Dover to Dunkirque.

Info on this has been limited up 'till now - hoping to get a camping space in or near to the action.
Really looking forward to the weekend and have booked into the Dorint, Nurburg for the Sunday and Monday - Should be a great trip.

We'll be in a black Z4M if anybody fancies saying hello.

Darrin and Jenny.

A couple of friends and I are going to chuck a tent and some beer in the back of my pickup and make the trip.

To those that have been before, is it worth booking a campsite in advance, or does it not get that busy? Having never been to Spa before, I'm in the dark a bit!

Looks like a cheap weekend of awesome racing. Just hope the weather is more summer than autumn!

[minifunclub]

Hi kiruji....
Given up trying to research this trip, we're just going to wing it.
Tiny tent and a few provisions - the rest we can buy there!

You are so right - hope we get an Indian summer.
Maybe see you lot there.
D and J.

Camping Eau Rouge is where we're staying which is supposed to be a nice site with good facilities (and wifi!). It's a mile or two from the circuit and the people I booked it with said the site won't be that busy as it's season end.

Yo, as a regular - check my profile - I drop a note here.

I'll park my white Punto at the outer paddocks, where the Brit Saloon heroes are.

See you there, and yes: I'll gladly snap your cars.

Spa Six Hours.

Been there 2011 for the first time, at Sunday, together with a friend of mine with his Porsche 914/6 GT. Last year my wife and I took the caravan on the hook of our Volvo V70 and stayed for 4 days at Camping Eau Rouge. Nice camping, good places and very clean douches and toilets. This year we will arrive Thursday, coming back from a short stay in the South of France, to give our holiday a nice end.

I've started looking at the long range weather forecasts, I really shouldn't.

Don't worry: it will rain and be indian summer within hours. Besides, rain and racing is huge fun.

Chris Harris Tweet: yes, sharing the Falcon with Andrew Frankel.

Not sure MrsHorneyMX5 will agree with the bit in bold.

I'll have to keep an eye out for Monkey in the Paddock then.
