Afternoon all.... I have been googling day after day to try to find out as much information as I can about going to my first F1. I have picked Spa in August and there will be 4 of us going, just wondering if anyone has any tips for me?

Our 2 plans are either to get the train from London to Spa and take my tent with me for the 4 of us, that way we can hopefully find a campsite with a nice bit of atmosphere but hopefully one that isn't a state as I have seen from some reviews! The other option was to get the train and find an apartment down there.

Any suggestions on locations or any other tips from anyone who has already been there would be great smile

Thanks guys, it sounds very hit and miss for the camping with the offical sites from what the reviews are saying.... I want the atmosphere of a F1 with the music going and the beers flowing... but I dont want to crawl around in other peoples C~@P just to go to the loo.... so was mainly trying to work out if the people leaving the rubbish reviews of the sites near the citruit were being OTT or if they are that bad.


Muzzer79 - was there must of an atmosphere at the place you stayed at with the Caravan ? a Caravan sounds like the best of both worlds if you can get a bit of a buzz around the camp site.

Dan_1981 - can you remember which of the offical sites you stayed at ? sounds like a good laugh there. Was it just a mud put of was it actually okay? we would be taking our 8 man tent for 4 of us so will hopefully have lots of space. Will be interesting taking it over on the train though !!!

Nice one guys, I will have a look !

Yea it never stops at LeMans does it, much pumping all weekend... which is good , until you want to sleep I guess! Just trying to get the right combination of atmosphere and not roughing it too much.

Time to have a look at the site.

Thanks again guys! and I might see you there BoRED S2upid.

It will be interesting carting a 6 man tent over on the train from Devon though..... its all part of the fun though :-D
