I take it you've changed your chunnel time?

Doesn't leave long for you to get down to the chunnel otherwise, no speeding fines please!

Just spoken to Alison @ REIS. This weekend's track action has been cancelled; Sat/Sun/Mon as the snow has not shifted

But, being hopeful and looking at a long range weather forecast, it's supposed to warm up in Francorchamps by mid week well into double figures by next weekend.....if that's true then the snow would be replaced by rain.....I can live with that!

Yep, that decision was taken on Wednesday to call off this weekend's track action. But don't worry I've been watching the webcam at the skydive centre which is 5Km away. There have been clear signs of melt as the day progressed. Some more osmosis and we'll be OK.

I would hope that Jonny would credit us all, but I don't truly know.....but let's not think about that as an option, be positive BU

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring!! If the circuit cancels, cash is not lost but it won't come to that....continue to get ready for the off!

I agree. I've also seen that there's a good bit of melting going on - and that's in an untreated area. I would think that the track will be swept to aid the thaw.

I'm confident we will be having a beer or two in the hotel in a weeks time in anticipation of a couple of great days tracktime

Unfortunately i have had to cancel due to family issues. Hope you chaps have fun and that the weather sorts itself out.
Grant, hopefully i will be able to persuade one of the other rennlisters to collect my event T-shirt for me and hold on to it for Zolder.
