There is a slim chance I might be joining the Brady Bunch. Arrival Saturday though, and will bring the van to sleep in (can't be bothered with tents n stuff for once). Will keep in touch with Pieter where to park up.

It would be nice to see you Paddy  ;D [Piglet makes mental note to buy more beer  ;D]

As a reminder to all (especially those staying a few days) the campsite doesn't take credit cards, so for us Brits that means having cash to pay.

From ticketnet.be I now have 8 vouchers which are to be exchanged on the gate, is this right?  Pre-booking was supposed to get free stand tickets as well.

I was rather hoping they would just send the tickets.  ???

That's all I've got too - and I also booked stands.  Last year I was sent wristbands (access all areas!).  My guess is that they want to put the wristbands on themselves this year!

I just got one of each colour, to be safe...

I discovered at the GP that the Brands Hatch wrist bands that I had lurking round my briefcase were the same colour as the Saturday Marshal's guest wristbands!  

Now being a genuinely honest person I didn't do anything dodgy but the temptation was quite strong!!

Muz, Termie, it does appear that some of the race cars but not all will make the run to Spa along with all of the drivers (presumably on the Saabs that they usually use for the circuit parade?).     It doesn't appear to show on the timetable but we'll try to confirm when we collect media stuff - I'd imagine it's still on the Wednesday as the drivers briefing is held at the Casino then.

I still have some orange wristbands left, would it be worth taking them? ;D

On the official site there seems to be no starting time mentioned. Anybody knows? :-\

It looks as if you will be getting better weather than us.

It's a real 24 hour race Paddy so a 4pm start usually.

It's Spa, so don't trust any weather station on predictions! ::)


Thanks Piglet :)

Allegedly it was 30degrees in Spa yesterday so I might actually put the suncream back in my bag....

Normal Spa weather:

10.00 - hot sun
10.10 - heavy rain
10.20 - hot sun
10.30 - heavy rain
and continue...... ;D

Tickets arrived and in order, if you read the letter it tells you how to get your wristband etc. Thanks for the tip on the cash Piglet.

See you guys at Eau Rouge, let's hope for a dry one.
