grand prix mastersSpa Six hour race...
24 – 26 September 2010 - Historic Car Races main menu - Motorsport main menu - 0845 003 2213

The genteel town of Spa, at the heart of the Ardennes, was famous as far back as Roman times for its mineral springs and healing waters and has given its name to health resorts everywhere.  In the 19th century the casino was built to entertain the mainly British visitors and, in the centre of town, is still in business.

The new, modern spa facilities remain one of the main attractions together with motor sports at the nearby Francorchamps circuit. 

Spa is an excellent base for a racing event.   It is a small town with plenty of specialty shops and many excellent restaurants.   Menus featuring seasonal and local produce are always available – wild boar and venison with rich sauces are particularly good.  Freshly caught fish is in no short supply either if you have a lighter taste.  You can always walk it off in the Hautes Fagnes or at the circuit by making your way up to Pouhon, Blanchimont or Les Combes.

The Spa Six Hours weekend is a festival of racing with a phenomenal twenty race programme and plenty of action.  The six hour endurance race begins early Saturday evening and inside the paddock there is plenty of food and drink and entertainment for all ages.   The information stand will keep you up to date with events and you are free to wander at leisure and get close up to the fine tuning and race preparations.   Your included entrance ticket gives you full access to the paddock and for Saturday evening we have included dinner in a restaurant at the circuit.   

Our three night itinerary allows you the flexibility to come and go as you please with a choice of nearby hotels.   Racing does, however, begin on Friday so if you would like to travel out to Belgium on Thursday and spend an extra night, just let us know and we can arrange it for you. 

3 nights by car...

Friday 24 September - Check in in Dover for your reserved crossing to Calais. On arrival continue through northern France and Belgium to your hotel where accommodation is reserved for you for three nights on bed and breakfast basis.

Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 September - At leisure to enjoy the splendid scenery of the Ardennes and to come and go to the circuit, to watch as much of the racing as you wish. Events begin on Saturday at 0900h and continue until 2200h and, on Sunday, racing is from 0900h until approximately 1800h. Tickets for all events are included in the tour price, which include grandstand seating and paddock access. On Saturday evening we have also included dinner at the circuit so you need miss none of the action.

Monday 27 September - Check out of your hotel at your leisure and return to Calais for your reserved sailing to Dover. The prices below are per person based on Dover to Calais crossings and the shared occupancy of a twin or double bedded room, except at Ecuries de la Reine where some apartments and houses can accommodate up to six people or more. If you prefer to travel from Folkestone to Calais by Eurotunnel we can arrange this for you – a supplement will apply.

Alternatively, if you live in the north of England or in Scotland we can arrange crossings for you with DFDS Seaways on their daily service from Newcastle to Amsterdam, or from Hull to Rotterdam or Zeebrugge with P&O Ferries. Call us for further information.
