We’ve been to Le Mans for a good few years so we’re used to badly organised events but the more I look for information on the Spa 24 hours the more I am beginning to think Le Mans isn’t that badly organised afterall!

We’re definitely going to Spa at the end of July but I have a few questions that I hope some of you that have been before may be able to help me out with please?

Tickets – Had confirmation that they’re cheaper to buy online first, thanks for that. But is it worth the extra for the paddock access?

Parking – We will be driving in every day from an Airbnb we have booked about 10 minutes away. So what’s the parking situation? When we went for the 6 hours WEC last year it was just rock up, pay your 5 Euros and there was plenty of space. Is that the same for the 24 hours? When you click on the parking section of the website it simply takes you to ticketmaster.be where there is zero info about parking! Is there any better parking that you can pay extra for? We’re taking a nice (by my standards) car and want it to be safe.

Food – When we went to Spa for the 6 hours I was really surprised by the general lack of services around, especially food and drink. Is the 24 hour busier and therefor more availability? Otherwise will make more effort to bring stuff with me.

Race commentary/radio – Is there a Radio Le Mans equivalent?

Anything we should definitely not miss?

Sorry if my post sounds a bit negative, I am really looking forward to it honestly! smile

Cheers Frederic, I think it was your write up of good viewing spots that i actually printed out to take with me too so thanks for that.

Any ideas on parking? I think that's worrying me most!
