Default Hockenheim 1/07, Francorchamps 11/07, and more...

Anybody going to Hockenheim on the 1st July?
First time there for me. Also first time with Pistenclub!

I'm not sure about going to SPA-Francorchamps.
I may have a place, but weather is so unpredictable on this track...
I usually don't book and only register on place, haha !

Maybe some of you are planning other venues this month? Feel free to share!

First time at Spa for me a few weeks ago. In the rain. It was awesome! Don't let the chance of rain put you off. Besides, if it's not raining now... it's about to.

So it was my first time at Hockenheim and first time with Pistenclub...

I really like the track, but was quite disappointed by Pistenclub because there was too much traffic.
The day was divided in sessions for 3 groups, we had only 2h30 of driving. I was expecting some "quality" for each session, which was not the case. Too much cars, or maybe too much slower cars...
Honestly it was almost like a tourist drive at the ring (in term of traffic).
Add 1 red flag and 1/2 yellows, the driving time was quite short.

I will probably do some others events with them later, and I really hope Hockenheim was a bad example because for the price it was a bit frustrating!

J'étais également présent. GT3 blanche immatriculée France.

I was also a bit disappointed by the massive amount of cars. Basically, quite difficult to drive fast...
But I met nice guys !!

Will try SPA next week. Depending on the weather of course. Right now at the Ring and enjoying a decent weather. Stay safe!

Yeah, I agree. Their slogan used to be "Open pitlane is life,.. Etc". Then they started splitting race cars and road cars. Now you spend a lot of time queueing to get on track. I have been a member from their very beginning, but now only really join their events in Italy.

Was there as well. Only afternoon sessions in a silver TTS.
Pistenclub is always busy at HHR. To many cars but hey thats life....
Clean laps are basically not possible besides last session in the afternoon where it was nicely empty :-)

As stated above, for Spa don't let the wet put you off. I was there last week (27/6) during a day which was mostly wet. It was awesome fun. Indeed almost better than when it is dry. Admittedly, the day before, I got my garage to take off my CUP2s and put on my PZeros (I have spare set wheels sitting at my local garage fitted with PZeros) which turned out to be a great decision. I was finding traction where others were not. This was only my third time driving a very wet track and I have discovered that I actually really, really enjoy it.
