Monoposto Racing Forum

I want to get a thread started up regarding the Race at Spa. I know there are many veterans on her who have race raced abroad and would be good to have some tips and things to check before making the trip.

Racing in the UK we race under MSA rules, but the race at Spa will be under FIA rules, obvious things to take into consideration, Safety gear that comply to FIA standards, Belts, extinguishers, scrutineering...

Please feel free to comment and share your experiences.

If I remember you have to have full nomex underwear and balaclava.

extinguishers need to be in date.

If you are lucky to have a truck I think you can not drive in france on a sunday nothing over 3.5 tonnes worth a google!!

be carefull carrying fuel , on ferries and trains
