They went to Spa and the Ring, 90 mins from Spa.

£180 for Spa
£82.50 Travel
£225 3 nights Spa hotel
£40 Same day 5 lap ticket at the Ring (A single was £10).

Then add fuel at about £0.80 a litre.

£527.50 without fuel.

Expect about 1000 miles.

And they saw Clarkson at the Ring filming for Top Gear.

Well apart from Clarkson filming his ring that sounds quite acceptable !!! What does the £180 at Spa give you ? Limitless laps ? Against all sorts of cars ??

Cheers.

The £180 for Spa was for a track day, so you can go on and off for the length of a day session, don\'t know how many hours.

Anyone can go on (who meets track regs. of course), there were some choice cars there, Porsche GT, Lambo\'s etc.

thats a good price for an open track.. think I paid £150 for 12 laps at the ring... mmm if I were to do spa for a day, I\'d need a fresh set of tyres and probably some new brakes though hehe
