So, As the tracks have changed their dates, schedules, events etc...here we are :
2 ways :
1-Real RUN mindset: departure May 5th early in the morning to reach Spa-Francorchamps racetrack at 12:00 (noon). The sessions start at 13:00 and end at 18:00.
The Hotel de la source is fully booked May 4th evening.
Then we will up to Nuerburgring (150kms from Spa) and rest there (Dorint Hotel). May 6th we go on the ring mid morning for 5/6 laps and get back home in the afternoon.
Summary : real Crazy Run, 1 hotel night only, weather should be nice, 2 super race tracks !
2-Cool and Roots way : departure March 29th in the afternoon, stay at the Hotel de la Source, rub the SPA track march 30th, rest again at Racing Hotel, leave the #1st to head to the Ring using country roads, rest a the Dorint Hotel the evening of the 31st, and burn 2 full fuel tanks on the Ring april 1st. get back Home in the afternoon.
Summary : lazy trip for good old boys, 3 nights, weather in march is unpredictable, still 2 cool tracks.
I would go for option 1 myslef
I ask for your view (I can see one guy smilling). I know some of you have booked their days off to attend option 1.
Cheers
Xavier

Happy near year dear fellows!
That's not because a question of "good old boy" but The reason of Classic days in Magny Cours: I choose the option 2 except the hôtel de la Source, too high standing for me! I prefer the racing hôtel...especially for two nights!
