We'll see you there.
I haven't booked the crossing yet though - is the Chunnel going to be slow? Would rather take the train than the ferry but not sure on any delays?
One tip that's worth sharing, is to take a little digging device! Small garden tool, or whatever to dig yourself a seat in the bank, a bum sized hole, and feet holes, we ended up using large stones! And if you plan on sitting on the bank to view the cars coming up the hill take some shoes with some grippy tread, the amount of people who went for a slide was a joke, but really funny to watch.

I'm going with my 15 yr old son, it's our first time at Spa F1, I was thinking of getting the GA tickets, any one know if you get a good enough view with those? I have driven at the circuit on a trackday, bu.t never been a spectator, any viewing tips greatully received!! I'm staying at Hockai so I'm wondering what the drive to the circuit is like and can you park there??

Spa is superb for general entry tickets I though - many many viewing opportunities - much of the track is down below the viewing areas so plenty of opportunities. I'd recommend GA as you can get right round the circuit and watch from plenty of places!
The only downside to Spa is the fewer number of laps than most other circuits.
My Daughter and I are taking our Maserati over on the Wednesday evening ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam, we are staying in the La Forge hotel in Malmedy and if you see a black Maserati GranTurismo with BUF on the numberplate, that will be us. I am not planning to park it at the circuit because we will be getting a shuttle bus from the hotel.
Starting to get excited now.

Not long now.
I've got the 6am crossing from Dover to Dunkirk thursday morning, still none the wiser on which route to go,so probably stick with tom tom.
Have to stack up on beer,food and ear plugs on the way for the green campsite. I guess any hypermarket on the way will do.
Looking forward to it now, hope the weather is kind to us.

Avoid Brussels at all costs, even if the TomTom says it'll take longer. It's always bad for traffic there, and you can easily lose an hour in traffic there.I've got the 6am crossing from Dover to Dunkirk thursday morning, still none the wiser on which route to go,so probably stick with tom tom.
