Default Track days ED calendar Sept - Nov 2015

Need some help from European Rennlisters.

Kobalt has pointed me in the right direction for a track day in Spa September 30th. with Porsche Club.
Hoping there are more days because I will need more time than one day to get somewhat up to speed on new normal tracks. Spa not exactly normal so more is better. Forget about the Ring there wont be enough days to get up to speed there.

I found the Ring calendar here and some other places:
http://demo.bridgetogantry.com/nurbu...opening-times/

But how can I find more Porsche track days in Europe?
What are the tracks worth travelling for and what ones not so much?

I looked at the Porsche website but I cant find a combined track event calendar for 2015 within a day driving of Munchen and I'll go further if its worth it.

I know Scuderia Hanseat is early September 1-3 but my car wont be built until 2 weeks after...

Any links are welcome. Thanks in advance.

www.rsrspa.com runs some great stuff. Looks like they have some track days at the end of Sept. and in Oct.
They are also at Nurburgring if interested (www.rsrnurburg.com) Ron Simons runs both and is in a couple of videos with Sabine the speedbee so he knows what he's doing. Porsche driving school is having a masters class at Imola on Oct 6-7 and believe you can bring your own car, I was thinking of renting a GT3 for this event never been to Imola

Hockenheimring was fun I ran this for a couple of laps before a DTM race back in 2012. lots of fun but intimidating with the big crowd present. People still cheered my little 991 7MT as it was the beginning of the new body style. Ascari circuit is one I really wanted to hit in the RS but winter is preventing my ED. Ronda Spain is nearby looks gorgeous and was even in Gran turismo



RSR ran an event there last Nov but no word on 2015 www.rsriberia.com

Thanks for the help everyone.
PM me an e-mail address to cross reference tentative (Pending reconfirmation pickup date) itinerary's.

Looks like I can pack in a lot of track days OCT - NOV - Maybe I should ship the car back to Sebring before January arrival.

I think I could hit the 6000Km limit in 4 weeks
Flatbed it from the track with 5999Km to a dealer? LOL...
Anyone know how strict this KM limit is in ED? The 6 months are clear...

SPA is incredible. Did the 24h of SPA last year and it is the most amazing and challenging track I have been too.
Soo rewarding, but one mistake, and damage could be big. Be careful out take it easy but you will have the biggest grin on your face.

Portimao is also a nice track if you can get there.

Also, there are some incredible tracks in the UK if you are able to attend some track days there. Donington, brands hatch, and Oultan Park are all musts. Donnington is one of my all time favorite, and they even have a small museum with alot of older F1 cars over there.

Trakcar - there are 2 days at Spa with Curbstone you can try for at the end of september, limited numbers on track and very well run day, not open pitlane though as race cars on slicks are seperated. Rsr also run a few days close to the end of sep from memory.

Scuderia-s7 have their ring training course end of sep as well and there is also the manthey trackday there.
