I believe the disappearance of trees at the bottom end of the circuit is mostly down to one nutter and his box of matches, numerous forest fires down there last summer.

The pruning was very unofficial! I left about 7 on the Sunday evening last year so missed the waterslide.

We've had various Tertre Rouge viewing platforms over the years, from rickety jobs with step ladders and tables to van roof-tops to a 3 piece wicker furniture set on the top of a series II Landy. For several years we watched from the back of a pick-up but with the way the trees have grown up you need something a bit higher now. The amount of track you can see is much less than a few years back, and gets less every year, there was some pruning going on on Sunday night last year though. Also be prepared to get very bored of passing spectators waving, pointing and taking photos though, wears a bit after a few hours.
The list of prohibited items as per the poster by the entrance does include scaffold towers but the marshals are usually relaxed and let one go last year. I'll be watching from the top of a silver Renault Traffic again this year, hopefully the big screen will be back too.

That's a relief, I reckon if TR does get reduced / go it won't be for fairground rides, the price they charge now there must be more money in camping passes than dodgems

Are you joining an advance party? There'll still be spaces but the best will be long gone by then

There's no traffic passing through the campsite itself, the marshals do a very good job on the gates with passouts, there's some noise noticeable from the motorway early in the week when the site and track are quiet, obviously it's noisy from the track during the race & practise but that's what you get for camping trackside.
I was shocked when I first visited other campsites & saw that anyone who wanted could wander in and out.

What's the chance of us finding somewhere open on a bank holiday?

General Discussion / Spa 24 Advice
« on: December 09, 2013, 10:31:58 pm »
Looking at Spa next year to mark my 40th, any campsite recommendations? Was looking at http://en.eaurouge.nl/, but seems a bit far from the pits / eau rouge area of the track? I did find a hotel near the main entrance with a campsite but am slightly wary of their promise of a 'party atmosphere', I'm more into a quiet drink than eurotechno till dawn.
Anyone know what the race programme's like? Support races in the morning or just the 24?

Won't be finished until next September according to my man on the ground. Just to help things along the Rouen Armada is 6-16th June, looks like avoiding the place all together will be best
