Good stuff.  I'm not sure if/how I'll be able to get to the Radillion bar though!  We are cheating this year and have booked a hotel in Malmedy as we thought we deserved a proper holiday.  With 4 Saleens and a couple of GT40s I just didn't want to miss it although the logistics at Spa are far more complicated than LM.

I will be most probably be there, too.
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Can't say I blame you for booking a hotel or not wanting to miss the race.  Has the entry list been finalized yet?  It's not on the main 24hr website that I can see.   :-\

Adrian and I are booking paddock tickets, and if you join Club24Hr Spa (free), you get access to the main terrace above the F1 pit complex, as well as some other goodies (free food and drink I believe).  8)

We're camping at Eau Rouge again, arriving Friday and leaving shortly after the race on Sunday (if we don't leave early to look at War Memorials like we did last year).

Aaahhh, the burgers, the frites, the beer!

Go here to see where the SPA 24 club gets you to...

hover over the pink buildings, the club terace overlooks the F1 pit Lane. Nice!  ;)

I might pop up for this... only a couple of hours drive for me.  :D

AmEx Belgium sent me an option to buy a VIP package for the weekend. From memory it was something like €600 for the weekend.  :o

I'm there.  Just not sure if I'll join in for the whole weekend or only Saturday.

I really want to go! I'm in London and would have to leave late Friday or Saturday then return in time for Monday, does anyone have a spare seat?

My other option is to go by train but I have no clue what station to go to etc and don't really have the cash either.   :(

Cheers!
Tom

Here's the weather forcast.

Looks like a damp start on Saturday, fog overnight - should be interesting, brightening up on Sunday.

enjoy!
