Problem is not the correct word to describe my feelings.
I live approx. 1h45mins from Spa. I did Spa about 6 or 7 times this year and RMA was the worst one. First of all .. they are quite expensive, thus I expect premium quality. I've done more expensive trackdays with Pistenclub (http://www.daggie.be/?p=359), but I will track with them again as I got good value for money. With RMA the track was really crowded. The "boss"-guy also said they had sold too many places at the briefing. (Don't know who it actually was, but he was quite arrogant .. yet in his position I can respect that arrogancy.) Not only too many cars on track but the difference in cars was ridiclulous: from actual race cars (R8 GT3, 430 Challenge, Corvette C6R, ...) to 30 rented BMW 320i's .. rented for a company incentive and thus driven by complete idiots. To prove my last point, they totalled 7 of those BMW's. Also the rented BMW's all drove behind eachother (I think they were not allowed to pass eachother).
All those issues made it impossible to perform a fast lap, without being stuck behind 30 idiots you had to pass. I don't mind the really fast guys. I don't even really mind the really slow guys, but being in between them really sucked.
I have a movie of that day online: http://www.vimeo.com/5034579
I have a lot of opportunities to track @ Spa, so RMA is off the table for me. However if they have days at other tracks, I might reconsider them.
(If you google that trackday - 28/05/2009 - you will find many other disappointed drivers)

Do you talk to Dirk?

Overtaking left only is a UK-kinda thing ... I've only experienced it with UK-based track organisers (eg. BookATrack) and on the Nordschleife. In Belgium/Germany you can overtake on either side. However I agree with the confusing part ... I got black flagged at Brands Hatch, because I outbraked a 2-11 on the right side ...
Do you mean Dirk Schoysman? I had a Nissan GT-R training with him

RMcG: post a date when you have one, we'll come and do some sheering
