Nothing if you have the necessary F1 pass which was bella's point Terence.

Also you can't complain about the Spa food outlets.

very sorry to get off topic but i needed to say that somewhere.

The trick is to wear a racing suit. "Ah, pilot!". Gets you into the circuit if you've left your pass the other side of the fence and also lets you have free wees.

Isn't that a great sight?
At the moment the quarry at Spa really looks like a quarry. They have dumped all the excess concrete and gravel at the Busstop, so maybe yet another landfill?
Some updates on their website here.

There are some new pictures on the Spa website, but mainly from the pit building area.

I know that they are creating more run off at the downhill hairpin (or Post 10 to me) and at Stavelot corner.

I thought it was an enforced retirement .You know,there have been so many changes in the last few years,it,s getting difficult to keep up,a bit like a BMW trying to climb the Steep in top.
