I posted a while back on plans for a TwinSpark track day at Spa Francorchamps later this year. Those plans have now been finalised, and I’m happy to share them with you.
Our track day company for this event is the excellent Gold Track organisation from the UK.

Just had some pics through from Leonard and Daan, and a few words about the Carrera PanEuropeana they are on at the minute.
This RGruppe Europe event is a drive from the Netherlands down through Belgium and into Germany. The guys were staying close to the Nürburgring for two nights and today have headed back up towards Spa, for the end of the racing there, before coming home. Leonard speaks:
Weather is awesome, 11 cars good crowd. Jan de Boer (the so-called Bumpermeister) tapped the Armco in a hairpin, so bruised ego there, but car is still drivable.
