No need, as it isn't really a campsite. It's just on the edge of the forrest before you approach the main entrance at the bottom of Eau Rouge. No facilities, have to bring your own. We'll be with at least 10 DfH'ers, and it wouldn't surprise me if we bump into Werner (+ gang) and HGB again :)
Nicest thing about it, is the price for the "camping" >> €5 a car 8)
-
I'm going Friday - Monday - Wife and kids are coming too so staying in a nice hotel in Aachen on Fri&Sat and spending sunday/monday in Nurburgring staying in the Dorint hotel on the F1 track.
-
Tickets are 25 euro's in presale I saw, that includes the paddock, which you want, cause there is really nice bar with seating area, plus you get to stroll around the track more easy. Bob, you could stay with us if you like!

Weasel piss
I've never heard that term before Bob, and I have to say I like it. It's got a utilitarian feel to it. Brilliantly descriptive, as you point out, but I reckon it's also good for an exclamation or two. Like "bloody hell", "Frank Boughs knob!" or even "sh*t-the-bed!!". I'm going to use it as much as I can this week.
Mark, you're right mate, it's nostalgia again. - I think, behind the garden shed I have a collection of party 7's, bent can openers and severed fingers. It was great, wasn't it?

Looks like I'll be visiting Spa this year - driving up for the day on Sat from Lux. 8)

No worries Bob, I als need a new one. ;) We'll come up with something. 8)

Any chance of a sticker for me as well please!

Randy, the 24 hours of Spa are the last weekend of July, 30-31st. The next race is an ILMC race (like sebring) at spa, 6 hours or 1000 km. Should be plenty of american teams present. Could be good to watch, just come over ;D
-
I'm out ... With the Astons pulling out, I don't want to take another day off just to be able to watch the practice sessions ...
-
You can still come over on saturday to watch the race? ???

-
Tickets have arrived...plus a voucher for a free programme.......See you all on Friday afternoon ;D
-
I do hope mine arrived as well, having ordered them over a week ago ::)
-
I got an e-ticket from the ACO website, no need to rely on delivery and cheaper too
-
Pre-sale's now closed but tickets at the gate are €15 and Paddock's another €15, so still a cheap day out for me. ;D
-
The weather forcast looks good. very unSpa like.
http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/Belgium/Spa.htm
-
Well lets hope the weather holds, Should get there midday tomorrow
-
The weather was great today. Tomorrow and sat. bring sunscreen, it is going to be warm. Sneaked in to the pitlane just before practice got underway, pretty cool spot to, just next to the audi pitbox. No admitance today which was great as my tickets had not arrived yet. Luckily I got a spare one at the accreditation center.
Campingwise, I would like to suggest P3, nice shady area, just head for P1 and take a right into the forrest area. We will be there around 10 am, will scout the area, if it is to full around the time you guys arrive, we can always go to P2, which has a nice grassy flat area, with plenty space today for cars and tents.
We will meet you there, just give us a ring when you get close!

simple answer - move the fridge and then blame poltergeist!
the spirits did it ;D
-
That sounds like an awful lot of effort Neil :o , but could pan out in the long run. As for the spirits if i told her that i think she would ban me from afternoon drinking :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Get a little camping fridge and plug it in next to your sofa.
-
Could have done with the sofa to have a more comfortable view at the top of Eau Rouge............ ;D
-
View at eau rouge was brilliant who needs a sofa
-
View from the sofa was pretty good, but i would much rather have been track side. No atmosphere on the sofa, loads of comfort though. The race weekend feel was not there (lack of washing, far too much larger and petrol fumes). Have to make up for it in Le Mans 8 days of sheer pleasure.
