Thanks Dan.
I won’t be there 22nd earliest.
Perhaps I should try to pick it up as late as they allow..

Awesome! Good memories...

BTW, don't forget to add your initials at the very bottom

congrats on allocation and another epic journey! I had fun chasing you around at AMP during Smokies in my RS. I'm tentatively scheduled for Spa and Nurburgring on my upcoming late September ED for my Lizard RS, however as you know with these trips sometimes schedules get complicated.

Initials placed :-)

Yes, it will be hit and miss bit in 2015 we had great weather in sept and Oct.
Dec - May will be different story.

AMP day was fun. I still need to go back to set a proper lap but not my fav track.mBut how awesome was Smokies event! Hopefully next year we do Road Atlanta.

i wanted to do Leipzig but I declined winter tires and will go straight south Italy or Ascari whatever it takes to stay out of the freeze and snow.
Didnt have time today to look for track days but will do next weeks.

If you end up in Spain, Aragon is a great track - been there with the bike. Fast, long, and with interesting elevations and cambers. Would love to do it in an RS.

I will Google it Dave
Thank you.

Is Openpitlane.de best place also for those Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian tracks?
Are there any other websites to use?

Anyone with any links or suggestions, please dump here!

For Dec-March, I hope you’re planning to trailer it? Winter tyres are a legal requirement in Germany and Austria. They are expected in Switzerland and you can get in trouble if you have a mishap without them. I wouldn’t want to have to move around those countries with an itinery without them. Also most of the interesting mountain passes are closed. If it was me, I’d trailer it straight to Spain / Portugal. There’s a reason everyone does their off-season testing there.

I’m not too up to date on the best websites to find track days now - I mostly just do the porsche cup events now. Will do a bit of digging for you though. I know easytrack in the UK did a triple-header of ascari/jerez/portimao a couple of years back.

Does this mean that you won't be at Winterfest at Sebring in 2019?
Check out https://www.motorsportdays.com
https://www.europeanspeedclub.de/ has some stuff in Spain in the winter
https://www.rsriberia.com/
I will post others as I am still finding stuff for my trip at the end of Sept/Oct
