Spa

Hi all, not been to Spa before but have the opportunity to travel there this year.

Are the general admission tickets worthwhile? Or is a grandstand one a must?

Any advice on where to stay or eat etc would be greatly received as I'm new to this kind of thing (only been to Silverstone once and that was 20 years ago).

Cheers all.

There are a lot of good viewing spots around the track but you must be prepared to walk, a lot.

I honestly think this season will be an utter farce with the milk floats running out of power up Eau Rogue then the kemmel straight will be clippity clip clop....

I hear what you're saying about clipping up Eau Rouge, might get a better photo if they're going slower

Thanks for the info so far, I think I'm just going to book Bronze tickets and suck it up, get's quite expensive with a family of 4!

Is there plenty of public transport to the event, or am I looking at another 90€ for parking for the 3 days?

Is the only place to buy tickets the official F1 website? These are a bit cheaper and more availability, and I know I'm probably answering my own question but is it a scam?

That’s the official ticket site.

If you go to the circuit’s own website https://www.spa-francorchamps.be/en/events/race/75... and click on ‘tickets’, it takes you to https://www.spagrandprix.com/en/

The F1 website tickets are from their own travel agent, and yes are more expensive!

I had grandstand seats for last years race weekend opposite the pit exit so could see the first corner to the right and down hill to eau rouge and along the top, great palce to sit BUT you need all weather gear as Sun clear blue sky sunday morning turning to monsoon rain as the race started and the killer for me was.....waiting 4 hours to get out of the field with everyone else no marshalls, no control crazy and with 2 11 year olds NO fun it took 7 hours to get from spa to central Brussells less than 2 hours normally. so will only go again if i am glamping near the circuit

Had a much better expereince at the Monza GP weekend. but enjoy yourself
