I've done a little more research and I htink I might have a great solution.
I've discovered the small Belgian city of Verviers. It's got a few good things going for it:
1. It's closer to Aachen than Liege.
2. It's closer to Spa than Liege.
3. It has an Avis car rental place
Those three things combine to mean that we can save time, avoid backtracking and stay somewhere other than Liege...which I've heard is dirty.
Here's what I'm suggesting:
We stay in Aachen on night #1. If we don't hit any snags, we'll be there at 5pm.
The next day, we take the 30 minute train ride to Verviers, take a taxi to the Avis and rent a car.
Depending on how well we defeat jetlag, we could be in a rental car as early as 10am.
From Verviers, it's about a 25 minute drive to Spa. So we'd have most of the day to see the track and enjoy the town.
There are also a lot of great looking small hotels/b&bs in Spa, so we could just stay there for the night.
The next day we drive to Delft.
How's that sound?
Love it! Sounds like a nice plan with "clean" places to stay and no backtracking.
