I currently get paid in Euros thus it makes little difference.

If you get charged by your bank for sending money in euros, or have to pay a 'foreign transaction' surcharge on your credit card, then CSCC sounds more like a good idea... BUT- do you have to be a member of the CSCC and do the suggested other 2 races with them..... ?
Those on a tight budget (or just tight!) can buy Euros with someone like currencyfair.com at better rates than the banks, and send it for a €3 transaction fee.
At a minimum you'd need to be a CSCC member and also pay the fee to register the car with the relevant series. AIUI the main reason for the 2 races beforehand is so CSCC can observe the driving standards, as much to their credit these are enforced fairly strongly.

Is Brit humor be recognized by UNESCO as a jewel of world heritage yet? If not, it should. Right now.

A dying art I'm afraid. Round here farmers just drive along the road with their disc cutters and rip the hedges to pieces. There's nothing like a nicely lain hedge.

Well either that or DMarks if they have been re-introduced in the meantime.

Of course that assumes anything significant happens before Peter retires and receives pension payments in peanuts.

Is that because its been confirmed by Vincent that the proposed S2000 race isn't happening, or that it just isn't confirmed.....

I thought Peter meant hedging transaction … I'll go for aging!
As to the thread, I had a look to what kind of racing fun I can have here with 750 something ($, £ or €). Slightly disappointed then. Not mentioning your race duration which is 3 hours at Francorchamps not 25 minutes to use a rather less entertaining track.

The Monoposto Club have chosen not to go to the 2017 meeting, so Spa Formula Summer will be made up of Austrian F3, a non-championship entry from MSV F3 Cup, Monoposto 2 litre cars plus maybe some Formula Renaults, cars from Italian F2 etc.,
