Spa Six Hours

Post by Chris_911 »

Anybody been?

Can you share any tips on attending?

What's the access like to pits etc - is it open like, say Silverstone Classic, or highly restricted?

been loads of times .. great event with very little crowds. Access to the cars & teams is easy to just wander through and around and chat .

Also .. they are properly racing for the full 6 hours with a huge field of cars. Its pretty exciting stuff espcially as they head into the night

Always my advice to anyone for Spa is to walk around the full circuit to really get a feel of the place ( there is a path that follows the track ). My favorite track to spectate at.

Thanks Guys.
Found a campsite that looks ideal for my campervan.
Looks like I might have executive approval too...

Great event, counted 117 cars at the start so none of the big gaps in racing like CLM.
