I was planning to go to this one, I've always wanted to go to Spa and watch the F1 cars through Eau Rouge. Maybe next year

I'm considering doing a track day there in honour, seeing as it's cancelled. It's the GP drivers favourite circuit. Wonder how well it suits the S.

Not again. It made a comeback before though, so hopefully it'll be back.

it's not that brill for spectators..

can be OK if it is not so busy and they open it up a bit.. I watched the DTM last year and was decent..

but when F1 hits town.. unless you have got the full VIP treatment.. it's just mud and fries... though it can be fun if schumi goes out early..since half the crowd is german.. particularly good when hill won for Jordan.

last year my track day at spa was cancelled because of last minute repairs to appease the FIA.. so I am glad that they have at least made the whole thing official before the season starts..

chilled.. maybe you noticed bookatrack are there on 25th august.. I have my name down.

I have noticed, but will have to wait and see before I put my name down. Too much happening between now and then. But seriously tempted.

That's a real shame. I'm up for a track day there, assuming Honda help me fix my suspension.

hope you get Honda's help..

I have done 2 "illegal" laps at night.. the gates were open so I drove around - it's a brilliant circuit

though I think you need a lot of power or a light car to make eau rouge interesting.. I was in an alfa156 so just chugged up the hill..

however this is a sobering bit of film.. if the link still works..
