Jay762 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Hi all, only just found out about this missed it this year but included the link and some footage. http://www.subarutrackday.com/ This is something I would be interested in as I have always loved watching Spa races on the TV - if you also fancy it let me know and if enough interest is generated we could look at a S.O.C. presence get a pit garage etc.
Gambit Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 That look's £$&king! ace :D If I win the lotto tonight I'm getting me an f1 style lorry to go next year :D And I agree Spa is one of my fav tracks
Jay762 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Ill put you down as an equally long shot as myself then ;)
Gambit Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Haha Dam right. Even if it's just to update my Facebook status that I'm there :D And no I didn't win the lotto tonight. Its holding out on me, its wanting me to have more so I can have 6 Subaru's in the bigger garage I would have to build :D But on the safe side that I'm a non millionaire next year, I will be looking into travel cost's from Hull as it is closer for me to cross. Just in case anyone else is going :)
Gambit Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Just looked on google maps. Its quicker for me to drive to Dover so it says. I feel a Top gear special coming on here :D
Jay762 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 logistically - for a UK party that would be the best start then arrange to meet any mainland chums on the way or at the final hotel
Gambit Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I will have a look see if I can get from Hull to either Brugge or Antwerpen cheaper and less miles 1st Have to arrange places to meet up Brugge is on the way almost and Antwerpen I would have to go south and meet up North of Brussels. Failing that be in a bar feeling sorry for myself that I'm lost lol :D
Jay762 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Don't know at this point I was going to contact the organisers to get an indication, for the years it has run so far it has all been late March early April time
Jay762 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Have dropped them an email - will post response
Gambit Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Can you not link them to the site (Here) via Facebook if there interested
Jay762 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 I have had a response from the organisers - they find out and confirm the date in Sept - Oct after the F1 I have asked to be added to a mailing list if they have one and have also said I will follow up closer to the time. They also said it would be great if we organised something and would like to see us there.
Gambit Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Cool sounds good to me. Could they not give us free VIP tickets for the F1 And give us a roof food and drink so we don't have to come back until after the day :)
Jay762 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 That's not an unreasonable request, ill drop him a line right now... cue tumbleweeds and whistle of wind :P 1
Gambit Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Well I might have got my father in law to tag along with the Blobeye :) Where about would you being docking from Dover have you had a look ?
Jay762 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Right so the latest from the team is they are going for Easter Bank holiday monday 2014 and will let us know if / when it is confirmed. Doing the Google maps thing and speaking to a chap who attended a VW bash at the same place I would be going via the channel tunnel to Calais then cutting into Belgium
Steve Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 once its confirmed we need to get a proper thread set up with booking forms, I can then advertise this properly. 1
Gambit Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 For miles would like to go from Hull. Not sure where it will dock until I have a look at the website. But like you said once we know a bit more where people be crossing from I know what to look for :D
Jay762 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 That's it, we can sort out the logistics as and when it is confirmed Convoy!
Adam Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I have been wanting to go to this for the last three years, yet every year something gets in my way. This year it's head gaskets!
Jay762 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 I have been wanting to go to this for the last three years, yet every year something gets in my way. This year it's head gaskets! karmic timing - maybe next year will be the year ;)
Gambit Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 For hull it's roterdam http://www.ferryto.eu/ferry-from-hull-to-zeebrugge-in-belgium/?sems=G-c10-sitelink-HZ I have been wanting to go to this for the last three years, yet every year something gets in my way. This year it's head gaskets! And that is my biggest fear something big going wrong with my car before we go :(
Adam Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I know that feeling. In 2010 I was all set for a winter weekend at the Nurburgring and one of my turbos (twin-turbo remember) failed 3 days before we were due to leave. I was forced to take my everyday drive which was a BMW 330ci at the time. It was more than up to the job, but it didn't quite fit in with a Subaru meet! Mind you, could be worse... A friend of mine did Spa a few years ago and had a massive fire on track which gutted his car.
