BRDC plans Spa trip - for spectators.

The BRDC is throwing its weight behind plans to take British spectators to the Spa PowerTour meeting next month.

The 23-24 September race weekend features the three 'hero' PowerTour championships for British F3, British GT and National Saloon series, and the organising body is planning to take spectators out to the scenic Belgian circuit in time for final qualifying on Saturday. They will then be able to enjoy the full race day, returning across the Channel on Sunday night.

They will then be able to enjoy the full race day, returning across the Channel on Sunday night.

The cost of the trip is expected to start at ?99, with coaches leaving Silverstone early on Saturday morning, travelling to Dover and then on to Ostend, to arrive at Spa around lunchtime. The trip includes four-star accommodation in Liege with coach transfers to the circuit. Regional pickups will be available, but may depend upon demand and location.

''Spa is a fabulous circuit, and the meeting will give great racing,'' said the BRDC's Chris Norman, ''We have been taking racing to the people through PowerTour this year, but now we are helping to take the people to the racing.''

Spectators interested in further details of the offer should contact John Harding at Sports Travel Management on 0161 491 1999.
