F1 Fanatic

On the subject of bikes, does anybody know if you can get them into the circuit like at Silverstone?

Steve, I didnt see any bikes within the circuit last year but plenty of bikes chained to the fence just inside the entrance, so you can certainly ride to the track if not round it. James Cole, I too am on yellow camping, there is no where to charge anything up! It is pretty much just a field, with only 1 building that is a shower block for the local football team. Campsite is open thursday, I will be arriving thursday too. If you are stuck for charging then I will be taking my generator so you are more than welcome to borrow some electric! Look for a small caravan with lots of stickers on the back and a sizeable flagpole!

Hello everyone! So I’ve almost decided to go to Spa, my favourite race! If I go it will be my first time going to an F1 race. The only reason I’m not 100% decided is because I would be going alone and I haven’t sorted out all the details yet. I searched for camping and found this site and some very helpful comments here on the forum! I’m just wondering because I’m flying from Sweden I won’t have a car and don’t know if the yellow area/green area camping is more convenient than the Elephant campsite mentioned here, does anyone have advice on this?
I’m thinking of buying a bronze GA ticket and attend from thursday onwards (can’t miss any action!) am I right in thinking that the yellow/green camping isn’t open on thursday evening?

I went to Spa GP last year and as Tim said in an earlier comment, stayed at a campsite in Francorchamps – entrance opposite the Francorchamps Racing Hotel. (I think it was Campsite 35, but might be allocated a different number this year). We turned up on spec on Thursday and got onto the site no problems. It’s about 5/10 mins walk to the circuit (La Source entrance), near to the bars, shop and steak house with fairly good sized pitches, parking next to your tent, and an excellent purpose built toilet/shower block – you do have to pay for showers but that’s pretty standard, and I don’t mind paying for decent facilities.

Be warned that it does get quite noisy though, plenty of loud music and fireworks into the night, but the party atmosphere is great. Have fun!

Craig & DuncF1: Thanks for the info, I thought the yellow camp was just outside the circuit, seems like it isn’t. Party atmosphere dosn’t sound that compelling though. Maybe the Elephant camping is more calm?

Samuel:
Haha, vad roligt!

Hi,

Im hoping for some help.
I have 2x Adult Weekend General Admission Tickets and 1x Child Weekend General Admission Ticket. The 2 adult tickets cost aprox £220. I bought them from Spa-Tickets.

Due to an epic fail of my kitchen extension roof, im having to raise funds for a new roof, meaning i can no longer afford to attend :(

Therefore the above tickets are being offered for sale. Looking for around £150 for them but I am willing to consider any reasonable offer for them. I dont yet have them in hand, but i will forward my email confirmation of them to the buyer and i will contact the agency to change the delivery details of the tickets.

Please emaill on bizzybee45@hotmail.com if interested.

Thanks

Thanks for the info Craig, I may well take you up on that offer if I can find you among all the people there. I’m already pretty nervous about going and camping on my own, and praying that it’s one of those rare Spa weekends where it doesn’t rain too hard or too often!

James Cole, I too am camping alone, but simplt is not a problem. The campsite has lots of brits on it and they are usually a friendly bunch! When are you planning on arriving? I will be there around thursday dinner time. Do not follow the instructions that come with your camping pass, it just leads you to a closed road, several of us made that mistake last year! Find how to put map co-ordinates into your sat nav and enter N50.459828 E5.952694, that will take you straight to the gate!

Cheers

Craig
