Really good mini meet,as usual drank a fine selection of quality ales in historic pubs and then a really fine curry. See everyone again in May. Thanks to Ian for organising the itinerary, and everyone that made it such a great day

I did indeed. Having booked my room a long time ago, I thought I'd get on and get my ticket.

Yeah, I noticed the increase too - a tenner isn't insignificant - however £50 for three days of motor racing entertainment is still good value. It was £40 from 2014-17, having jumped from £35 the year before. I paid £20 just for the Saturday (LMS then) in 2008.

Particularly when early-booked tickets for Spa were €26.
I've bought mine.
Price is now €32 - roughly £28.
I shall be at Spa, but not at Silverstone.

That is a big increase, especially when there are hardly any P1 cars worth watching, the main reason people go after all.

Well normal people anyway, not the WEC lot who go all three days

Very sad news!
WR Racing have been missing in Le Mans for some years now, sad that he won't see them return a last time.

I always loved their efforts.

Loved how Welter always tackled the race his way and by targeting the speed record instead of the race win is just one example of that.

Hope this isn't the end of the team and they are able to get back to Le Mans in the future.

I paid £50 last year, booked in February, so I guess you guys got an early booking discount.

Ticket for this year now booked, and having wangled the Friday off work, will be there all three days, business as usual

For the Spa 6 Hours 2018, like every year, I've booked my favourite gîte near the circuit. It sleeps 6 persons, of which 5 have confirmed their stay at the moment: me, my friend Matthew and his son, and Isynge and Batmobile of 10/10s' fame
The sixth and final bunk is up for grabs for the price of 60 euros, from thursday 3rd of May in the afternoon till sunday 6th of May. Price only includes the stay at the gîte, not included are food and drink (including Vincegail's famous friday evening Chicken and Gueuze Stew) and access to the race.
Interested? Please send me a PM.
First come, first served.
