Default Anyone going to spa 18.9 and the ring 14.9?

Picking up my RS tomorrow in Leipzig and headed for Nürburg the next day. Wondering if anyone else here will be doing the sport driver training XL course this Friday at the ring and the RSR track day at spa next Tuesday?

I’m picking my RS up on 9/21, doing Spa on 9/26-27. Enjoy. I’m hitting Alps mountain passes to break in the engine immediately after delivery, if your around still in area let me know. Enjoy. The ED department must be busier then ever!

I'm leaving on the 19th, so we will just be missing each other. I think you and Montoya are doing pick up on the same day?

My build date is now December 7, I guess I can drag my feet till February at the most.

Looks like it may sit there somewhere until I get a break in the weather and head to Ascari? Then Ring/Spa April?
Really sucks that ED is now only 3 months...

If I wasn't building a house I'd buy and park a GT3 or 3RS CS in Germany somewhere...

Better yet, anyone want to buy a 2500 sqft farm house in Holland with indoor parking for 50+ cars?
3 hours from the Ring, 2 hours from Spa and 2 hours from Zandvoort..

Congrats Joe! Eager to read your trip report. Even more excited for all the RS track setup content you'll share in the coming months.

In the same boat as Trakcar, production this time around too late for a constructive ED.

Congrats Joe! Similar route I took last year when picked up my .2 GT3! This year, I'm doing PECLA delivery with the RS... as much as I'd LOVE to be in Europe again.. Late November wasn't going to be enjoyable weather for the RS.

Be safe and post up some vids!

Best Regards,
Dave
