So this weekend I visited the Ring and Spa. Set off to the Ring on Friday morning and arrived Friday evening.

I had Saturday and Sunday to lap at the ring. Saturday was ridiculously busy. Sometimes 4/5 cars into corners, this didn't allow for any decent clear laps with traffic everywhere and crash often.  I managed 3 laps on Saturday but need to check the go pro for the fastest i think it was around a 9.03.

The Sunday was washed out, I went out for my final 4th lap just before the heavens opened, I managed to touch the grass with a wheel giving an SLS a bit too much room and from also watching the SLS a little too much in the mirror.

Got to Spa on Monday for the MLR track day who were there already on the Monday as well and managed to get on track on a beautiful sunny day 3-6 as the day we had booked was forecast rain. The Tuesday started off wet hence the change of tyres but then dried up for 3 hours before the rain came again.

Overall the trip was fantastic and I cannot wait to go again. Loved Spa more than I loved the Ring which I did not expect.

I'm very jealous of your trip mate, I would love to do Spa and do want to do the ring aswell but as you said there's often a lot of traffic and you can't really enjoy it as much as I'd like, I'll probably just do a few laps to say I've done it tbh.
