Hi Doug,

Firstly, great choice for an event - I haven't been for the last couple of years but it's a superb event and very spectator friendly. I tend to walk the full circuit a couple of times over the weekend and as you're probably aware it's a big circuit so there's lots of walking - so good walking shoes are a must. It's very hilly even just around the pits / paddock area so be prepared.

All the races are normally worthwhile attending. Worth taking in the 6-hour practice on the Friday night as it will give you a feel for good locations for the race.

Weather-wise it's Spa - so pack for all conditions, especially if you do walk it (take a waterproof jacket in a back-pack etc even if it's hot & sunny when you set out).

Parking is fairly easy and just a couple of minutes walk in to the circuit. Used to be about 5 Euros per car I think. Never found it very busy driving in for this event, just a few minutes delay on the odd occasion. Don't know what entry prices are this year but for a three day pass they're normally very reasonable.

Grandstand entry is normally free to access (always plenty of space).

No doubt there's lots of other advice to think of - plenty of the racers on here who will no doubt pitch in. As said, great event.
