There is not a radio station at Spa as there is at silverstone. There is commentry on the loudspeakers but is split between french and english.

Ah that’s a shame, I found Silverstone FM was great for getting pitlane/paddock news which otherwise would miss out on.

Hi folks,
very excited as have just bought 2 Bronze tickets and a car park ticket for Sunday at Spa through ‘Gootickets’.
Only problem is that I have to pick them up at the F1.com reservation desk near ‘La Source’, which doesn’t open till 8am.
Now if I don’t actually have the car park ticket, how will I park to go pick them up???
Also, I was planning to watch from Kemmel Straight, any idea how long a treck that is from La Source?

Many thanks in advance
Alan

Hi guys!
Any more word about this ticket fiasco with The Ticket Enterprise? According to this http://www.f1today.net/en/news/lawyer-tte-all-tickets-will-be-sent-this-weekend
tickets will be sent out soon.
For me this personally this whole issue is an absolute disaster! To make matter worse I booked the Gold 1 package with TTE. This included Gold 1 pit weekend race tickets, hotel for 2 nights, travel to and from the track everyday, and breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Not only that I have already booked flights, train tickets and bought expensive McClaren teamwear.
This is my first ever grand prix and can’t believe this has happened. Even if the tickets are sent out, will it just be the race tickets? what about hotels and travel etc? So many questions !

I suggest you join the Facebook group F1 Info: Problem with F1 Tickets Spa Francorchamps. Daems Johnny and Frank Heybrechts are the organisers of this group and are working hard to keep everyone updated. They are getting info direct from the organisers and there are regular posts on there re the situation.

The latest news from there is that the story on F1Today.net is an unofficial story and TTE are still working with the organisers to come up with a solution to the problems. They are hopeful that tickets will be sent out at the latest on Tuesday. I’ve posted a link to the group below:

@george this is the company for the tv,s

http://www.fanvision.com/

Most ticket providers sell it as an additional option but you can go to them direct.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Does anyone know roughly how far the walk is from yellow car parking to Gold 1. The wife is nearly 8 months pregnant and just want to be able to tell her it’s not that far!!!

Cheers

Cheers @toni

I ordered FanVision (I’ve had it at Korea last year and Singapore in 2009 – when it was Kangeroo TV) as it was very useful, especially for the timing screen.

Main reason I wanted a radio station was for before/after the race when things are still being discussed, Silverstone FM really set the mood with pre/post race interviews for all the support races too and just an entertaining weekend etc.. before, so brought that sort of TV build up whilst you were still at camp getting ready! That said, Singapore and Silverstone both had build up, interviews etc… on the big screens so maybe Spa will have this too? The Singapore big screen coverage was really good, though does help when you’re slap bang in the middle of a big city.

Anyway, I’m sure there will be plenty to keep us entertained with before and after the races :)

Hi guys,

It’s my first time to the GP this year. I booked really late and could only find accommodation in Brussels. Is anyone staying in Brussels over the weekend, or does anyone know how to travel to the circuit? I’m guessing by train but if anyone knows details on how please let me know it would be great help! Cheers :).

You can drive to the dircuit and park in one of many private parkings (backgardens of locals) for € 10,- a day. Walking distance to circuit entrance; 10-20 minutes…
