    Went in June, and yep it is a great track with some big balls corners, i only managed 3 sessions when we went, it was a tad wet and was riding up to Germany straight after it
    Can not wait to go back next year :D

    I did Spa and Hockenheim back to back last year and my mates have just got back from 2 days at Spa. I couldn't go this year as my wedding got in the way !

    We use these people for Spa Biker's days | Fun on tracks It's easy to book and you just stick the bikes in a van and drive over.

    Plenty of reasonable hotels near by.

    You don't get to use the pits so a gazebo is a must but there is electricity in the paddock for your warmers.

    They are well organised and the briefing is done in about 3 languages !

    YOu can just about see Eau Rouge in the top left of this pic

    Need to get something to look forward to as it won't be long before its dark at 3pm and I wonder how I will cope with no track days to look forward to . As this year as been my best biking year ever met some top blokes , done some brilliant track days and some great ride outs :D. I think I need a tissue . :D

    Start feeling really upset with something mate, Jo's starting to be less gullible so may need so real tears this time.

    Can't you put your 30th off till next year?
