Spa Francorchamps 31st Mar, 1st April

Just thought I would post to see how it all going so far. I arrived an hour or so ago and will be on track tomorrow fingers crossed. I have spotted three CSLs here (one foreign plate). I heard that track was not opened until later in the day due to snow.

There seem to be very few cars on track today and someone said that many have not bothered turning up due to the weather. Snow seems to be coming down again lightly this afternoon.

Here is hoping tomorrow brightens up otherwise it will be purely orientation laps if that.

Anyone have a jack with them. I have some RS29s with me and all the tools but no jack. La Source has provided free underground parking so I will try and scrounge a jack from one of the residents

If you see Teffers or Chris of CD, they will let you borrow a jack.

Good luck and be safe.

it must be cold, it's freezing here and just about snowing again.

My brother is there at the moment (Black Exige S 240), there was enough snow this morning that it was thought the track would be closed the whole day.

There were a few RSs and CSLs sliding about this morning near the track, my brother and his mates had to push a CSL this morning near their hotel as it was struggling a bit.

Be safe.

sighting laps at 1pm apparently

dry line appeared later on, inbetween all the grit and salt!

I heard someone on here has a poorly car

Poorly as in reliabilty issues, or poorly as in crash.

We decided to sack it off and headed down to the Ring around lunchtime. Not sure what running took place but it would have been interesting!

Only activity in the morning was the marshall's truck towing someone up Eau Rouge on a sledge...

It was snowing hard at the Ring yesterday as well, but looks like a pretty good day today. Still about -1 though...
