As for the quality of campsites, the ACO make Dale Farm look like paradise.

They must realise that people won't put up with just a patch in a field.  Even the music festivals are getting sophisticated

Traffic around Brussels could be a mess, but on Saturday it should be ok.  Another route is going through Antwerp, take the E313 direction Hasselt-Liege, and then get onto the E42 direction Verviers-Spa.

I'll get to the 'Ring first for a VLN race (Saturday 12-4 pm) and head onto Spa afterwards, should arrive there around 5.30 or 6.  Not sure to stay overnight.

Alibongo,

Below carpark 3 there is a large flat area of tarmac by the toilets and showers,just outside the paddock area.

Try e-mailing the circuit and ask if you can park there.

I found them pretty helpful.

At the risk of sounding 'wierd'
I spent a lot of time analysing what it really was about Le Mans that was missing by not being there.

Watching the race on TV and listening to RLM covered one 'Part' of it
But it’s everything else that goes with the race.

It’s the buildup that starts a couple of months before the race.
It’s the early morning start for the ferry.
It’s the ‘Traditional’ breakfast stop on the way down.
It’s the run down to the circuit, and seeing all the ‘Familiar’ sights and knowing each one moves you nearer.
It’s the campsite setup, the trips to Carrefour/Super U and just the experience of sitting there with the cars not far away…
It’s wandering around at 3am  during the race, cursing the fact that I don’t have a jumper with me, my feet are killing me and I’m knackered, but I’m still looking for new places to see the race.

It’s the intangible things that you can't replicate or explain properly that make the whole thing an event.
