Just been reading  your information on Spa, and it is of great interest.  We are thinking of doing the 24 Race you mention in July - it seems very difficult to find good information on where to camp. The site you mention - we are all pretty fit, but is it a viable option after spending all day out watching the cars?

Are there any other campsites that you would recommend nearer the circuit - we don't mind noise.

Stayed in Spa, (actually Francorchamps), September last year for the F1 and spent several hours drinking in the Racing Hotel. We camped at one of the many houses that rent out their grounds to tents, caravan and motorhomes. These houses tend to have limited facilities like no EHU for tents, portaloos and no onsite shop. The area behind the Racing Hotel looked better organised for caravans / motorhomes though not 100% sure of the facilities. The field we stayed in cost €135 for three days (arrived Friday PM and left Monday AM) and was just what 6 blokes needed! Not sure if the locals do this for other motoring events. We didn't book, just drove in and paid the money. Very straightforward. 

I was lucky enough to drive round the track in my Previa last year. Really tested out that automatic gear box! I'll hopefully be back there at the end of August for the F1 again.

Hey guys,

Looking to go camping for belgian gp this year, anyone got a link to the racing hotel or anywhere good to go? Cheers...

The Racing Hotel is website is here http://www.francorchamps-racing-hotel.be/

Been going to Spa for the last four years and have camped in one of the fields behind the houses usually around here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=50.458153,5.952573&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl

It's about a 20 minute walk to the track from here and the facilities are a bit basic though enough to get by for the weekend.
