I call it "the left after Rivage" lol

James Murray · 13 Jul 2004, 10:08 (Ref:1035118)

It could be rivage?The down hill hairpin is malmedy, which I thought was rivage. Bloody awkward corner whatever!

**Peter Mallett** · 13 Jul 2004, 10:22 (Ref:1035125)

Rivage is the downhill right hand off camber hairpin after Bruxelles.

It goes (For historic grids);

S/Finish - Eau Rouge, Radillion, Les Combes (Right), Malmady (Left), Bruxelles (Right), Rivage (as above), AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! (Left), Pouhon (Left/Left), Les Fagnes (Right/Left), Stavelot (Right and Right again), OOOOPS! (Long fast left), Blanchiment (Long flat left), Bus Stop (Left/Right/Straight over kerbs towards outside barrier), La Source (Tight Right).

At least I think that's it.

PaulSands · 13 Jul 2004, 12:43 (Ref:1035288)

Peter don't forget that Bus Stop has been totally re-profiled

Hotel Beau Site is booked up ..eeeek
Anybopdy know what Hotel Belle Vue or Hotel Moderne are like?

**Peter Mallett** · 13 Jul 2004, 12:52 (Ref:1035297)

Moderne used to be "the" place to stay. Its very convenient for the mode............... er restaurants in the village.

The Belle Vue tends to close its restaurant on a Sunday evening but the Beau Site is opposite (IIRC).

Zef stays at a place in Malmedy and there's always Stavelot.

[SMUG b*stad]Our rooms are booked at the Baeu Site a year in advance.[/SMUG b*stad]

James Murray · 13 Jul 2004, 12:53 (Ref:1035298)

Theres a good and cheap hotel in Spa town called Hotel Gai Sejour. Don't know how that one translates! There are loads of hotels in Spa town and its about 5 minute drive from the circuit

PaulSands · 13 Jul 2004, 12:54 (Ref:1035303)

If the little one doesnt come I'll convince Wendy that sleeping in the back of a CRV can be a lot of fun

Problem is my baby sitting options just diminished

zefarelly · 13 Jul 2004, 13:12 (Ref:1035340)

Does anyone know the timetable this year ?

particularly the Top Hat Saloon race, Sat Q Sun Race ?

as usual the ditherers in our camp cant decide what days to go until they know what time everything is and where the toilets are and who cleaned them! . . .whereas I'll happily go and camp for 2 weeks if necessary!

**Peter Mallett** · 13 Jul 2004, 13:19 (Ref:1035347)

No timetables as yet. I'm doing a web page for another of the races this year but I don't know the deets as yet.

Tell em its practice on Friday morning so you need to be there on the previous Saturday to get set up.

PaulSands · 13 Jul 2004, 13:22 (Ref:1035352)

I've added a day onto my itinerary for this year so I wont miss Friday practice...as far as I'm concerned it ties in very nicely with my 20th wedding anniversary which is on the Wednesday

zefarelly · 13 Jul 2004, 13:22 (Ref:1035354)

and Race last thing Sunday so we need to stay until the following Saturday to celebrate coming 35th !!!

**Peter Mallett** · 13 Jul 2004, 13:41 (Ref:1035381)

You've got it although I've got to be back in Ankara on the Wednesday

(Mailed that info BTW).

Paul will you be going on the Hull Ferry?

PaulSands · 13 Jul 2004, 13:46 (Ref:1035386)

Hull? noooooo Dover to Dunkerque
The Hull ferry takes about 6 days doesn't it?

**Peter Mallett** · 13 Jul 2004, 13:58 (Ref:1035403)

Dover Calais is just as convenient. Its only twenty minutes further down the coast.

PaulSands · 13 Jul 2004, 14:00 (Ref:1035408)

the departure times didnt suit...got the crossing for £119 to go via Calais was £98 but it wouldve been more of a rush each end of the trip

btw Hull Zebrugge is a 14 hour journey

James Murray · 13 Jul 2004, 14:01 (Ref:1035410)

Anyone tried Dover-Ostende fast ferry, 2 hr crossing and under 3 hrs to Spa. How does this equate to Dover Calais?

PaulSands · 13 Jul 2004, 14:06 (Ref:1035419)

Dover Dunkerque hour and a half I think then maybe 3 hours to Spa? read my travelogue

http://paulsands.org/spa/spa.htm

**Peter Mallett** · 13 Jul 2004, 14:07 (Ref:1035423)

Towing its about four hours from Calais.

Used to do the Dover Ostende/Zeebruge route but it got expensive when they changed to the seacat thingies.

James Murray · 13 Jul 2004, 14:30 (Ref:1035450)

Can't remember how much it costs exactly as it was 2002 when I last went, but it was in the region of £150 return through MST I think on one of the seacats.

Just had a look Paul at your website its fantastic, and Im not going to get much done this afternoon because of it! I particulaly enjoyed your resume of Spa last year. PS. Im car number 27 in DBT on Sunday if you fancy taking a shot!!

**Peter Mallett** · 13 Jul 2004, 14:35 (Ref:1035456)

Where have you got the timetable from James?

PaulSands · 13 Jul 2004, 14:43 (Ref:1035461)

It cost me £179 last year so £119 is great for me

James Murray · 13 Jul 2004, 15:15 (Ref:1035492)

I haven't got a time table for Spa Peter I was reffering to Brands Hatch this weekend which Paul says he's going to on his website. Is this correct Paul? I have the number for MST which is 01295 278748. The chap to speak to is Simon Adams, he very reasonable.

PaulSands · 13 Jul 2004, 15:20 (Ref:1035498)

I'm going to Brands on the Sunday as I'm at Oulton on Saturday for the GT's...really split loyalties this season as so many HSCC & GT meetings are clashing
I have a timetable for Brands

zefarelly · 13 Jul 2004, 15:23 (Ref:1035503)

likewise for Brands . . .MIdday Q and 17:15 race, time for a blow out lunch between !!!

zefarelly · 13 Jul 2004, 15:24 (Ref:1035504)

oh . . .just over 4 hours Calais to Spa when towing usually or in convoy for that matter

its abot 200 miles as the Mondeo Flies !
