    Hello everyone, I got offered a plane ticket to anywhere in the world and some spending $ for my 18th. :) Since I have a friend who moved to Brussel, I would like to go visite him. I would like to make my trip car related as much as posible and was wondering, for exemple, how far would be the Porsche factory or even the Ferrari factory would be from Brussel? Train ride? Plane? Or if there are anything closer that an 18 year old car enthusiast would like to visite? Or better yet, if there are any F-car owners in Belgium? :)

    Thanks in advance for any info/tips,
    Kyle.

    Brussels-Stuttgart is 550 km
    Brussels-Maranello is 1100 km

    The former Ferrari dealer garage Francorchamps is in Brussels. That might also be an interesting place to visit.

    Part of the answer depends on when you are travelling and for how long - for example if you are in Europe for a month it might be worth getting a young person's railpass - but if you are only over for a weekend two brussels tram tickets is about all you'll need !

    To ANYWHERE in the world and you choose... Belgium?? :confused::D That's great (but I would've chosen something completely different! :D;))

    When exactly will you be here? If you're already in the country by the end of June you just can't afford to miss the Spa Ferrari Days at the wonderful track of Spa Francorchamps ;):D
    A bit early perhaps but... enjoy your stay!
