Spa 2008 advice needed

[bartesque]

The F1 calendar for 2008 is out and Spa will happen on the 5th until 7th September.

See http://www.spafrancorchamps.be/index_eng.asp for ticket info.

I've never been so don't know whether there is a single place to be for maximum enjoyment.

My guesses would be either:
Gold 3 'Eau Rouge' or Gold 8 'Start'

we went this year and got a bronze ticket for £100 from the thursday that got us all the way round the track. watched the race from near the bus stop.

Im looking at going next year as well. going to treat myself to a grandstand as im fed up of being stuck 10 deep peering between people's heads at silverstone.

What grandstands do people reccomend? looking to book asap as the tickets are discounted till 31/10/07

Also thinking of going :-)

How does it compare to Silverscum? as packed?

It's a huge circuit, so spectating shouldn't be a problem (wasn't when I last saw the GP there 8 years ago). I was back there a fortnight ago and with the exception of the pits and silly tarmac runoffs, it's much the same.

Personally I wouldn't buy a grandstand ticket, it's a circuit well worth walking round with plenty of good places to spectate. Whilst there are grandstands right next to Eau Rouge, you get the best view of the corner from the back of the stands opposite the old pits - from there it's awe-inspiring.

Well worth heading to Pouhon too - probably the greatest challenge there for F1 cars (although like Eau Rouge, get it wrong, like Lewis did this year, and you just end up on the tarmc runoff)

lot of action at the old bustop chicane this year
