WEC Spa 6 hours - attending tips

[I 8 a 4RE]

Planning to visit the WEC Spa 6 hours with my family and friends.
In the wider group there are several 6-7 year olds (sort of a dress rehearsal for LM24 in near future).

Looking at tickets, seemingly you can only buy General Admission (and Paddock), but no specific stands.

Anyone been? Is it first come first serve? Would be keen to have some fixed seats in case younger ones get tired / bored.

Seats are unreserved in the stands, busy at the start of the race but easy to come by at other times. The stands on the Eau Rouge side are the ones to go for, the start/ finish straight is the only dull part of the track, otherwise, walk as much of the track as you can, and get there early on race day, preferably to one of the gates at the southern end of the circuit. And standard Spa advice about taking clothes for all eventualities, last year was lovely weather, on the other hand I’ve woken up to several inches of snow on race day too.

Thank you. That’s helpful.

Kinda damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Get there early, have youngsters wait for hours won’t go well.
Not have any seats will also not go well.

The old saying holds true:
