European Track Day Help - Northern France, Belgium, Holland

I have done several UK track days and have spent hours on the internet looking at tracks to experience close by in Europe.

I am particularly interested in experiencing some of the tracks in Northern France, Belgium, Holland and Germany (Other than the Nurburgring).

I have searched and found a list of some tracks for example circuit Croix in France. How ever I was wondering whats the best way to book these track days. Are there any companies specialising in these days? Only a couple of the tracks list their moto days on their website but don't want to book through there and then struggle upon arrival if I haven't completed certain paperwork etc

Any advice would be much appreciated.

It's very likely that someone will speak English at all of these tracks, as you won't be the first Brit to do it.

Google translate for the website? Or post up the webpage and someone on here will translate it roughly enough.

he more famous circuits tend to have companies running British trackdays at them - and some of the smaller ones where the weather is good.

I wouldn't bother with Croix personally. Raced there and it's nice enough, but nothing amazing. We a bit concerned to find large lumps of concrete mixed in with the gravel, too.

So you think I should take a chance and book through their website and hope there is an English speaker?

Are there any tracks in this area that people can recommend?

G - Can you recommend some companies that offer these services please?

Most of the British trackday companies do it I think.

I'm a little out of the scene, but my favourite was always nolimits (less BS, more riding).

You generally get bike transport included.

Here's the no limits ones for the rest of this year:

There's usually more at the start of the year, as people are looking to get some pre-season practice in with better weather.
