Hi,

As you know Spa is a wonderfull track but never open to the public, except for track days,...

Since 2002 it has officially been a permanent circuit with no public road access to the F1 circuit.

It might have been 2000, but certainly in the modern Bernie/Max era.

As I undersdtand it, the modern F1 is out of bounds. The old 9.3 mile monster is accessible (apart from the bit which is now the modern circuit) but not promoted so some old pics and maps might be in order if you want to search it out.
