Very possibly I might be there, particularly as this has been pointed out as a serious gap in my motorsport credentials!!  ::)- kinda depends what else i got going on during the summer tho.

You really shouldn't miss the parade. I've done that once with my car parked in the town center of Spa. I even then managed to press my self in between and followed the race cars to the circuit (10 minute drive). It's very nice (sound and sight) to see the cars rushing through the city of Spa. Strongly recomended !!!  :D

Yup the parade is worth going out there early for.....in 2004 we stopped along the road and took pics, last year we had a nice lunch in the restaurant above the circuit and took pics from there....

You are so lucky to be that close to a major racing venue.  We suffer in the States here with everything being so far away.

Not to bad in Cincy, we've got IMS and Mid-Ohio just a couple of hours away.  Also Eldora & Winchester bullrings and National Trails Dragway close by.

Nice pics, Piglet!

Can't take the credit I'm afraid, they're Keithk's - I'm more of a point and shoot kinda girl myself!!  (I usually get shots of an empty track by the time the shutter delay has kicked in  ;D)
