LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted December 2, 2011 As next year is the 10 year anniversary of the 156 GTA going into production there are a few events planned. the main 1 is a GTA meet at Spa Italia in Belgium Here's a few details to get the idea- Saturday/Sunday 28th/29th: April Spa Italia Belgium. GTA owners from around Europe will be gathering at Spa Italia this year, GTAs will be parked and displayed together. Cost: Euro 130, which gets 1 car access + 2 passengers for the whole weekend, 1 reserved parking in the center of the paddocks, 1 track session (30 minutes) for GTA’s only on Saturday 5:00 pm. The good stuff We get a dedicated 30 minute track session at 5PM on the Saturday, access to the whole event for 1 car and 2 people, plus dedicated central parking, all for 130 Euro, which seems pretty good value. We are working on getting some deals at local hotels which we will advise of later. There are some other options for the event, but sadly I cannot post the flyer for the event as it is too big to upload. It will be on the Spa Italia site soon. i have only copied this with the organiser's permission to see if we can get the 40+ cars we need to get discount on the channel tunnel prices, from what i know other Alfa's (non-GTA's can go as it will be a great event but there are 'GTA only' parts to this meet) so far there are 20 GTA's on the list if anyone is interested in this if you could PM me your name and email address i can forward it on to the organisers and you can get more detailed information from them as i am nothing to do with the organistaion of it all, im just spreading the word Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted January 6, 2012 Even if people don't want to go to Belgium it could be a good time to just go over to france for a weekend or maybe a trip to the nurburgring if you fancy it the more people that go means it will be a better discount on the tunnel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh the red spider was VERY quick, this one is quicker. Always kept up with the 3.0s on our local meets, eh LJ? I'm not sure if I have a ridiculous engine or if it's my driving style (I drive with the face) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
