Well done guys for doin Spa.. It's an amazing track(even just to spectate as we were).
We called there on the journey back from the ring this year also.. :happy2:
Greeners:
They are great pics chaps! :notworthy: I do wish I could have joined you!
So you managed to keep all four wheels on your wagon then John? :scared:
RedRobin:

Personally I prefer Spa to The Ring. I think it's because it's easier to learn and most importantly it's not full of every idiot trying to do a lap time irrespective of what they are driving or their ability. Too many go there for the wrong reasons - IMO.
One of the guys in our group was a very nice chap but a retired London double decker bus driver, was absolutely horrified by Hurdy's driving as a passenger (he is far safer than his reputation might be and is very focussed) and nearly took me out by not using his mirrors on the way there!
Phil Mcavity:
Are you saying Mr Hurditch is a sunday driver Robin :laugh:
Your car looks the Mutz Nutz Robin. She looks absolutely fantastic, and you may well be responcible for alot of people changing their alloys :wink:

Robin, obviously this is your opinion and I cannot argue with that but I find your comment rather bizzare to say the least! You go to the Ring for your first ever track experience and love it! So much so you have it in your sig and buy some 'track focused' alloys. You then do you first ever track day at a more conventional circuit then you rubbish the Ring for everything it stands for? :confused:
Not everyone can afford a track day at Spa but can afford the odd lap at the Ring. And that is the reason the place has the unique atmosphere it does. On one hand you can have a 120k Porsche and on the other a 20 year old Astra, and for me that is part of the magic of the place. :smiley:
Don't be too quick to dismiss the place as it has a very special place in many peoples hearts. Yes you get the odd moron there but you do so in all walks of life. :happy2:
