Belgium GP 2009
 

I really want to go next year, does anyone have any details yet ? When does booking in normally open ?

Booking in hasn't opened yet, but I e-mailed [email protected] and got added to the mailing list for details as soon as they are available. :thumbsup:

Me too Dave, quite fancy this looks really good fun:thumbsup: Where do people normally stay?

I did it a long time ago and it was awesome, camped then but quite fancy a comfy cheap hotel this time

I'll go

Road trip 09 :thumbsup:

God yeah, the beer festival years & years ago was top notch. But I'm sure it will be a nice cheap hotel this time. Anyone that went last year have any details of hotels?

I have e:mailed Willy regarding the event next year, and his response was along these lines; an e:mail will be sent out in the second part of november, and an e:mail will be sent to all the drivers on their "database" informing the drivers of the procedure if the event is going ahead.

as for where to stay, it's best if you are camping, to find some high ground away from the many little streams that run through the park every time it rains.

and very messy, I didnt actually do any racing on the sunday, hangover was v bad :woot:

Also remember wizzing round Brussels in your Punto :thumbsup: (remember, the one with the small police car sized dent in the front :woot:)

Alot of us brits stayed here last year , but beware there is one bunk and a double bed in every room .

sure do, ah happy memories :thumbsup:

I'll be in for next year too along with Schlong I imagine, Harris and Doddy too I'll bet. ETAP was plenty good enough I thought though the bar across the road wasn't great. On the last night we drank beer sitting on the curb like homeless people ;)

Ha ha, I still have the photos. It was quite good that, you don't need to be homeless to sit on a kurb drinking lager til the ground spins a bit. Jupiler is amazing. Count me in for 2009 for sure! :)

its on my want to do meetings for 09 :thumbsup:

I'll be in, might not be going with Penny so will probably have to bunk up with some one.

Mmmmmmm... Jupiler :thumbsup:

Does anyone have info on this?? Where abouts the track is and dates etc??

Im organising a trip next year in the car and we are planning on going through Belgium...

Ta!

You lot are far to keen, the 2008 GP meeting only finished 12 weeks ago!!!

I hope to be there to defend my titles......:p

Hey Nick,
You didn't read as far as Burgie's post did you? :lol:
There are no dates as yet, if you are interested then email Willie/Lilianne and they'll put you on the mailing list for if/when info is released.

Otherwise no doubt that somebody will post on here once known.

Dave didn't you forget to get fuel one year & end up with a mouth full of fuel trying to syphon some for that punto? I think it was about 96! :)

Im with Dan on this one I thought the Etap was fine & the GP was a great event, Im hoping to be back in 2009 :thumbsup:

I would be up for it again, it was a great meeting this year :thumbsup:

i never had a problem with the ETAP but the double bed situation was a problem :D

Not for me :D Tony had the bunk in are room!

I had completely forgotten about that mate, good memory :thumbsup:

haha youre not joking!

Scariest thing i ever saw was that crack on the underside of the bunk bed that was holding Paul Crawford above :cry:

mmmm and his wind problem :thumbdown:

Garry: Let me get this straight, you were laying underneath Paul Crawford and was scared by the crack :o

HAHA, he was on the top bunk :lol::lol::lol: directly above.. THAT is fear.

Like many of you know Lilian stops in 2009 with organising the GP.
We as the club from Kampenhout need to find some extra enthusiastic club members or other Belgian racers who have the time to help organise this event together with Willy and some club members. Until now it was always W&L who did the preparations the week before the event (and the preps before that). This needs to change, if there are new volunteers who can help the week before (and alot more than that, also during the year with subscriptions) Then there can be a GP in 2009.
If not, the 'shock' effect of not having a GP in 2009 has to wake people up so we can have a meeting in 2010.

dont suppose there is any more news is there ? Impatient little soul I am
