Spa 6 Hours 2009

It's the Spa 6 Hours again next week (Sept 25, 26, 27), and we'll again be making our annual drive down.

Official site here: http://www.roadbook.be/spasixhours/en/index.html

I've waxed lyrical on the forum many times already about how great this event is:
Think all the great cars and racing you get at Le Mans Classic, but...
Way more accessible
None of the crowds
A track you can walk all the way around (and spectate from anywhere)
Open paddocks and pitlane throughout the weekend
And in the Ardennes: one of the most beautiful settings ever made for a race circuit.

This year we're putting cameras in the Roger Wills Bizzarrini in the 6 Hours race, so will be posting video soon after.
Here's some of my shorts from last year to give you an idea of the weekend vibe:

A few other DDKers are coming too (Tipler and Roadrunner)...
If anyone has a sudden last minute urge to come along, send me a PM, I should have some spare passes.

We may well drive back via the Reims Historic on the Sunday (27th)... http://www.weea-organisation.com/
Anyone else going to that?

I've got an email today from the Belgian Oldtimer federation (BFOV) that states that the Spa Six Hours will go on this weekend, so the event will NOT be canceled.
