Spa_Summer_Classic_Timetable_2016   Unoffical  SUMMARY TIMETABLE  V3

Spa passes 2016.  For this year the organisers are using a form of e-pass which will allow competitors to print off their own truck and car passes….NOW AVAILABLE instructions included… you use this pass to get in the 1st time and the guys on the gate exchange it for a sticker valid for the whole meeting.  Circuit admission for spectators is free but vehicle access to the paddock areas is controlled by these passes.

Access for initial entry into the circuit is being shown as:  Directions to circuit…
Enter via Blanchimont Gate (maximum 4m height permitted).

Garages 20-30. Specific allocation plan

Race Grids. We will  speed up the rolling start grid process by griding both races in the pitlane outside our garages…. your Mono team will supervise.  
This will be explained in further info but basically…

• Two lines in the pitlane in exact qualifying/grid order.
• Released  BEHIND THE SAFETY CAR, 1 by 1 (to fit through the exit road) in grid order.
• Form up behind the safety car and make one lap to the start finish line
• NO STOPPING OR FORMATION ON GRID  (no rear end shunts please.. no one stops on the grid throughout the meeting unless we have a race stoppage).. no need for mechanics to lug batteries or tools onto the grid.
• This outlap is the safety car lap and when it pulls off into the pitlane the starter will be watching.
• If everyone follows the rolling start rules, the race will then start.
  • No tyre warming after turn 16
  • Cars must be properly lined up between Turn 17 and Turn 18.
  • The safety car will pull off at the end of the formation lap into the F1 pitlane and the cars will continue behind  the front row cars in grid formation.
  • Minimum speed of 70 kph and a maximum speed of 90 kph (speed will be checked by radar)
  • If the starter is satisfied, the red lights will be changed to green.
  • No overtaking until the lights turn green

Exiting the track.  After every session, following the chequered flag, all cars will complete a further lap and exit the track via the normal F1 pit entry
road after turn 18 (Chicane) .. so NOT like last year where we were directed back in at La Source hairpin. Cars required for scrutineering will be directed as required.

Over 3.5t vehicle?… going to Spa? …. please makes sure you have registered for the new Belgian toll system. I am told by Adam at AP Motorsport that he registered here and it was ‘relatively’ painless – the ‘spy in the cab’ toll box due to be sent to his UK workshop    arrived within a few days!

On the subject of transport, we have some members with large trucks (who will need to be aware of the above!) who can transport extra cars for members from the UK.  ..  message for further details.
