Hey All,

I was considering driving down to Spa with the caravan for this years GP and was wondering if anyone has done the Paddock Club there and what their thought are?

I've read some mostly positive things about PC but I'm curious about if its worth it at Spa in particular. I'll be taking my dad with me and thought this would be a nice treat to get the Red Bull passes but at over £4000 each for the three days I wanted to be sure it makes sense at Spa as it will be a one time only thing.

My general concerns are:

1) By being in the paddock are you missing out on some of the best bits? (les combes, eau rouge etc.)
2) With it being Max's home race will the RB club be overrun with little chance to get some of the extras you're paying for with PC? (do the other teams do this at Spa as well? I can't find it through the official websites, do you just email them?)

One option I thought about was buying the Friday only passes and then the track for Sat/Sun.

Anyone done this or have advice? I don't mind spending the money if its really worth it but it will most likely be the only time I do this so want to make sure it's right.

Thanks

Trax

Not sure if people will say its worth it, but if the money isn't an issue, then I definitely would go.

You can buy PC for just the Friday (usually), which is somewhere around £600. Then just do normal hospitality/tickets for Sat/Sun?

Wild idea for you... make it a road trip.

Go to Spa, then drive down to Monza for the race the next weekend. Get Friday paddock tickets for both and then grandstand for the balance. Then drive back...
