for the European Tour
EUROPEAN TOUR - Thursday 24th to Wednesday 30th May 2012
Another great event has been lined up for the 2012 tour. Two of the world’s great race tracks – Spa in Belgium and the Nurburgring – are just 60 miles apart, set in the wooded hillsides that span the region.
The tour will be based around the second Spa Classic race meeting on the Saturday and Sunday, crossing the Channel on Thursday morning and travelling through the Ardennes on Friday to our hotel near Spa for the next four nights, the Ferme Libert, where we stayed in 2006.
Racing at Spa is a great experience and the programme includes the Tropheo Nastro Rosso for pre-66 Italian Sports & GTs which will include Ferrari 250 and 275 Berlinettas, Alfa SZ and TZ and Maserati 300S and Birdcage. We are organising dedicated parking at the circuit and there will be a myriad of other classics on display. You can spend the days watching the action, or visiting the local region and its capital, Liege.
On the Monday, we will make a day trip to the Nurburgring through the Eifel mountains then spend the next two days touring through southern Belgium and Luxembourg, before returning to UK.
Mileage will be about 750, so there will be plenty of time to stop and enjoy the route. Indicative pricing is £375 per person, including dinner on 5 of the 6 nights, plus the Channel crossing.

if you want a picnic.
The competition class will be open to all types of 750 and 101 series Giulietta and Giulia (and we hope to include TZs as well). The cars do not have to be race-prepared and, with a few simple additions, road equipped cars can be used. You do not need to be a member of The Midland Automobile Club nor do you need experience of hill climbing. It will be suitable for all levels; from those who want to have a go up a famous hill at a very historic venue, to a flat-out blast to win for the serious contenders (there will be class prizes!). You will need at least a Non Race National B licence from the MSA, which costs £41 (any race licence covers the event) a helmet and overalls etc..
If you've done any competition, or fancy having a go in a low stress environment and would like to compete with either a road, race or rally prepared car, please let Paul Wignall at

know.
Competing or not, come to Shelsley Walsh and meet all your Giulietta friends old and new.
AUTUMN TOUR - Thursday 11th to Sunday 14th October 2012
After last October's extremely successful Three Counties Tour, Paul Wignall has put together a tour based in Lincolnshire. Why you may ask, but Paul reckons that Lincolnshire has empty roads, great places to go and see, and judging by the last two events Paul and Jayne have organised you won't be disappointed.
For those travelling from afar there is the opportunity to stay locally near Rutland Water on the Wednesday night , otherwise the tour starts on Thursday 11th at the Lincolnshire Aviation Centre where they have their own Lancaster bomber which is due to be fired up at 1:30, all four Merlins, a magnificent sight and sound. Then its on to visit the RAF Memorial Flight before settling into our hotel for the next two nights which was the officers' mess for the Damn Busters Squadron in WW2.
Friday includes an opportunity to drive around the circuit at Cadwell Park and Saturday a visit to Lincoln with its magnificent cathedral. On Sunday we visit Geoff Hamilton's garden at Barnsdale before a final sumptious Wignall lunch at Stamford before heading our seperate ways.
If you would like to come on this tour please contact Paul Wignall at
