Photos @ Belgium GP - SPA 04

[Neil Adams]

I'm planning to go to the Belgium GP this year.

What is the viewing like?, do you need to be in a grandstand to get good unintrupted views of the track? and Photos?

Theres a vast difference in a grandstand ticket price and general admission.

The grandstands are in the best places (generally!). And the gold ones are better because they are in the best best places and from most you can see a big screen. I think the only decent way of seeing EauRouge is with a grandstand, although maybe someone else knows a spot.

Whatever you do you have to wonder and look from all round the track. The views are amazing - even when an F1 car isn't going round.

Good non-grandstand places. Les Combes at the end of the straight is good for long periods. Although breaking into the bus stop is very impressive (I guess even with this years changes). Although you look through trees at most places on the entry to the bus stop and lots of other spectators.

IIRC the area around Stavelot gives decent non-grandstand viewing.

Short periods on the climb from Stavelot to Blanchimont are good to be above and get close to an F1 car at speed. And if you can get a glimpse of Blanchimont then do, although the viewing isn't great here. However it is my favourite corner.

The best place, with out a grandstand is what I'd call the "Cliffs of Death"! you can perch yourself on the cliff above the entrance to Pouhon. This double left is amazing and F1 cars look a treat through it. You need to spend some time there.
