Definitely will be going but just not sure which dates yet.
Looking at the RMA dates in May but some of the people that do them are utter nobjockeys, so having a think about that.
Went twice with LOT last year and that was really good as there was a lot of respect going on.
If anyone has anything solid booked, we might be able to get a molecule going!!
Cheers,
Stu

Been with Goldtrack and RMA.
Melindi is great and Goldtrack participants are of mixed ability and confidence (but they don't seem to be doing Spa next year)
RMA is a well-organised business and Graham is a martinet. Their participants are usually richer, have more confidence, and higher self-esteem. And are faster and Graham allows overtaking on either side and in corners. He expects participants to behave because they understand what good behaviour is. This expectation is not always lived up to.
CircuitDays I have little experience of, so can't comment, but they've been around a while.
Oh and whatever anyone says, Spa is great fun in the wet!

Yes we have 3 Atoms going again this year, 2 310's and a 3.5r.
14th & 15th May with RMA, Have been with them the last 3 years, and never had a problem, be aware they allow overtaking on either side.
Unfortunately the Atoms' have been short on numbers compared to past trips, so it will be great to see a few more this year.

Sounds interesting Bill. Have you booked crossings/accomodation etc? Any tips?

Haven't booked the tunnel yet, normally go for 10.50 crossing. Accommodation booked at Hotel La Source, I've booked direct, if you do this you will have to tell them you've booked through RMA, as they block book the hotel. 125Euros per room single or 135 per double.
I think spaces for the track day are now becoming in short supply.
We've booked a garage, I think its 240 Euros for the 2 days, we can fit up to 6 Atoms, so reasonable cost, and we lock them in overnight.
Hope you can make it, I don't know if you've driven here previously, if you haven't, it is the most fantastic experience, the elevation changes are amazing,

So it's the 2 days with RMA @ £999 - is that right?
I'd be trailering my car over, is there somewhere to store it safe?
I assume for a grand we are guaranteed sunshine!!
