Belgian GP 2007

Anyone else going over to Spa for the GP this year?

We're driving over on Friday afternoon and would love some recommendations on the best places to camp,eat,drink and view the race. We went 2 years ago but can't for the life of me remember where we camped (it was dark when we arrived!) or viewed the race from (it was a long walk though!)!

Also, as we're there for 2-3 days this year is there anything else worth seeing or doing?

Are you camping or staying in a Hotel?

[jvbates]

LOL - Here's hoping the McLaren's make an appearance too!

Excellent. Thanks for the tip so far. So what about campsites? Which are the best ones? Any to avoid?

According to the BBC's weather site it's going to be fine all weekend...

And very pleasant it was too. Good beer, 5 mins from the circuit, job done.

According to their website it's 5km from the circuit? Is that right?

Only drawback was the Germans in the 'van next to us singing the German version of 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' at top volume until the small hours

That's sound a whole lot better that last time we went!

Firstly, we arrived so late that the only place we could find to erect just one of our two 2 man tents (there was 4 of us!) was in amonst lots of 'ze germans'. On one side was a full on dance arena that played German hardcore techno till at least 5.30 in the morning. Whilst on the other side was were more od our german friends all wearing McLaren clogs and roasting a whole pig on a spit - it did smell good though!!

The sight of finally opening my tent after 2 hours of sleep to see said germans all sitting in deckchairs in only their y-fronts drinking larger at 8am is etched in my brain!! ;-(
