I know how you feel about the race, Peter! It's the one that I will always want to do as a priority, but this year maybe will have to give it a miss. I can do several races elsewhere throughout the season in different cars, rather than one in one car....

We'll see- could all change!

John, I've scrolled all way though 2012 / 2013 threads and only post from you on hotels was 2013. Terence suggested La Source, you found they were full, then dinkel came up with the link I posted above. 26th August.

I guess you found accommodation elsewhere....

During search noticed that the 2012 6hr entry fee was 3200 Euro. Any one that has entered this year will know how much it has gone up! It's in the regs (link in first post) for anyone else curious.

I suppose that will be because Redwater is based in the UK and the exchange rate has impacted them.

I'm sure it will have, Peter. Also the very unpredictable fluctuations in it! Having said that, 45% increase in 5 years means there is more to it than just exchange rate. Track fees, for a start?

Agreed. What was the entry fee last year? Also they may have hedged by delaying paying for the track until after June last year. In which case the referendum will have impacted their payment.

Haven't got the paperwork to hand Peter, but think it's gone up €150. So the big increases were two / three / four years ago.

Sounds like it. Still excellent value for money IMO. Far better value than the TV licence fee.

Yes, I'm not suggesting it's expensive for the track time and the status of the race!

Looking at some Silverstone Classic entry fees though, they don't seem to have increased by anything like that percentage over the same period, so I'm thinking it's Spa circuit that has caused the major change for the 6.....

examination of the historical data shows the Pound-Euro rate almost the same now as it was in Feb 2012. Make of that what you will!

You clearly have lots of spare time. Nonetheless then it is hopefully the track costs rather than any other reason.

Interesting. Trouble at the moment is that it yo-yo's so much, and anyone with a large payment to make in several months time would be taking a risk basing their calculations on today's rate, which according to siri is 0.86....

It's been mentioned by an organiser that this year will mark the Spa 6hrs meeting's 25th anniversary. Anyone confirm that? Fingers crossed the proposed Memorial Barry S-S race will be well supported in his memory. From not even expecting to be there, looks like I am now driving in 3 races, including the 6. Good job I didn't make any alternative plans for the weekend......
