I have just got a pair of tickets for the Spa GP in August.
Can anyone give me any tips regarding parking. Are there car parks and are they good ones? Is it a royal pain to drive to the circuit during the weekend (like Donny used to be). Or is it a reasonable and well organised trek to the car parks?
If i choose not to drive to the track on qualifying days and the race day. what are the camp sites like? Can i have my car by my tent or is it a tent only policy?
Any advice regarding the F1 weekend at this track would be greatly appreciated.

Parking isnt really an issue at Spa - most of the very close locals have massive back gardens which are turned into parking areas for between 5 and 15 euro per day... You take your chance with how close you want to get and how much of a hold up to expect on the way out.

But in answer to your question - No, its not a huge issue.

PS. You will love it - seeing peoples faces when they see Eau Rouge for the first time is great smile

Great smile As a general rule are the cars safe in the track car parks?
Also regarding private parking. Is it a case of just driving towards the circuit and spotting the carpark signs of any houses that are offering places?
Thanks for ya help guys.
