I've been there many times before. It's a fantastic event and I only can recommend it. It's on my personal diary this year, too. It's on the 30th Sep. to 1st Oct.. The website is http://www.roadbook.be/EN/presentation/presentation.html .
So, to answer your questions:
1) Yes, I am going.
2) Yes, I've been before.
3) Yes, it's fantastic.
4) Yes, you can. As always at Spa, camping is a bit crude but depending on where you camp it costs either next to nothing or nothing at all.
5) That's a catch question, isn't it ? It's Spa, so take rain gear AND sun blocker.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

1) probably not, depends whether I can get my hands on an A1GP ticket
2) no, but my brother has and he loved it
3) I trust my brother's view on this
4) several camping facilities close to the track, but cheap hotels as well
5) unpredictable

Are you going, Martini?

Hi Pieter

Broached the subject with 'er indoors ... not too keen. Says I have had enough trips this year.
I did/do quite fancy a 9 hr drive though.

It is not over yet...

Rule no. 1: don't ever let her decide whether you've had enough racing trips! ;D

1. Maybe, probably not getting an A1GP-ticket for a decent price anyway.
2. Not that I recall
3. Seen the website, with those cars it has to be.
4. All over the place
5. From tropical temperatures to tropical storms and arctic blizzards. And all of that in one weekend.

I think I'm going. It's not expensive, nearby, a few DfH-guys are going and it looks like a great event, which I haven't done yet. So why not.

Rule No 2 - Leave house to "go out to the DIY store" and face the music when you get back.........

Hi
Looks like it is definitely off as my boss has said I am going to have to lower my standards and work in Jersey for a time in Sept. Not sure when yet but the Crapauds (Jersey people) need help to launch their business.

The wife wasn't keen anyway...

Yeh LOWER and if your Island does not need help why are only 48% of the pop local??
By the way our reservoir is 98% full and we buy cheap electricity from France.

I'll concede the rest...
