« on: June 22, 2005, 03:21:14 pm »
Anyone in for this, it's end of July ?
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Arh hah.
That may be do-able.  What's the situation regarding parking / camping etc?

I'll be there for a whole week (170 kms from home).  Will stay at camping Eau Rouge in Stavelot.

As far as I know there are two official camp sites. One is at Les Combes and the other near the main entry in the woods. However there are no such creature comforts as power and showers. Toilets can be found at Le Combes and in the paddock. I use to put my tent up in the field next to the car. I think the official camping pitches are 15 € whereas just  parking is 10 €. Ahh, and don't panic, there's no booking needed. There's enough for all. Tickets are available at the gate. Enceinte Generale is 25 €, including paddock 45 €. Grand stands are seperate and I think 5 € to 10 € depending on stand.

OK Chris - not exactly sure what it is I'm looking for. I'll end-up with a ton of Dale Jarrett stuff in the hospitality pack that they give us and we get garage and pitlane access before and after the race. Where do I get drivers cards from and are there any particular ones that you need?
Regards
Matt

Will Spa be foggy and wet, as it usually is?  :-\

First rule for Spa: Never loose your jacket  ;D

Eh, it's end of July. Last year I put up the tent and didn't realy need it. It was fabulous.

April is a different story, though. There was snow a week before the 1.000 KMs.

I doubt that I can make it this year but I'll be booking for next year.

I'm going to Croft next month so 3 in a year would be too much to ask!

Its only a short hop from Newcastle to Brussels  then a hire car to Spa.

I can even make it home on the Sunday evening!

Anyone have experience of the traffic from the circuit on the Sunday after the finnish.  Also from the entrance how far would it be on foot to the nearest village or Bar?
