Price has increased to €28, but still much cheaper than many other motorsport events.  ;D


Lot better than the £40 on the gate or £35 in advance Silverstone charged for last weekend.

We should arrive in convoy around 3pm on Friday with provided there are no accidents round the Brussels ring road to slow us down;D

The route that avoids Brussels is surely the better bet, especially on a Friday.

Wishy,

From Dunkirk, head to Lille, Mons, Charleroi, direction Namur (E42) then stay on the E42 to Liége and Spa from there.
The Brussels Ring is crap at any time of the day, although the E42 from Mons>Charleroi has ~22km of roadworks, so speed's down to 90km/h, but it's still OK during the week - having driven to/from the UK in the last week.

Bonne route - look forward to seeing you guys on the Saturday!

My satnav has live traffic updates so will always take the fastest route. Last twice it has taken me round Brussells with no problems.

If the Brussels ringroad is anything like the Antwerp ring on a Friday (and I can't think it isn't) there is only one course of action: AVOID!

The advantage of taking the route via Namur (which is lovely by the way) is that you're closer to the Grimbergen factory...  >:D
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

After our foray to Zolder last August for the 24 hours......it would be best for one of our members not to visit "Grimbergen",as his metabolisim suffers when partaking in the ale!!!

If it's anything like the Antwerp ring on a Thursday evening > avoid even more !

And a visit to the "Kingdom of Heaven" is a must if you are in Hasselt it boasts a menu covering 600 Belgium beers of varying alcoholic levels ;D ;D

Are you sure that's not a lap dancing club?
I tested negative for patience.
