Only a small group this year.

Me, Adrian, Termie & Mr Termie, and Pieter that I know of.

Dottore / LuxExpat - are you going to be in attendance?

The bar at Eau Rouge might be a bit difficult for Termie to get to unless Ian is feeling strong and can push her up the hill.  I have Termie's number so can let her know whatever we decide.  She's already en-route to Spa.

Dx

Still aiming to be there as it's not too far away - only about 1h20m north.
I'm still working on the extra points for a "Pink Ticket" from home.  ;)

The hotel (yes - I know, bloomin' softy!) tuns out to have wi-fi.  21.00 sounds about right to me.

Steaming hot weather at the  mo' and the mother and father of all thunderstorms last night so yes, typical Spa.  Sad to say the annual drive into Spa by all the competing cars was cancelled this year due to a music festival in tSpa so have yet to get started  in the race department.

See you all Saturday and thanks again to Doris for the text-based organising last night while we were getting ratted in the town square to the sound of an excellent local jazz band. :)

Does anybody know if there is any TV coverage of the race?

Online or otherwise.

You had that in Spa too?  Kept us awake in Luxembourg for most of the night.
Still, better now than at the weekend!

Quali yesterday was dry for about 10 minutes when the Massers posted the best three times (nos 2,33,1) then the sky fell in and subsequently nobody equalled them so the grid is a bit upside-down.  The pace car drivers are in the hotel with us (their Weissmans are parked outside - nice) and say they've had a pretty hairy time of it so far even in road-spec cars.

The sun is coming out again but the rain's never far away here, is it?

Muz are we going to bump into you this year?

Unlikely, we're off north of the border next week to go haggis-hunting.  ;)

Have fun at Spa.  Next year we should be back - to Le Mans and Spa  ;D

Looks like there may be some streaming here -
