Formula 1 Grand Prix Spa 2007 FAQ

September 17, 2007 | Comments (0)
How long was the drive?
It took us about three hours to get there and to drive to Stavelot, Belgium
Was it easy to find?
Yes, before Spa you get a number of road signs to guide you to the right part of the track. Depending how much money you spend you need to follow Green, Bronze, Silver or Gold
What does the ticket look like?
It looks cheap!
Do the cars really make a lot of noise?
Yes they do!
Do the cars really drive fast?
It does not look fast but if you compare the round time for the Porsche CUP with F1 cars, the difference was really big and noticeable.
Where do I need to stand for the best views?
As always, it depends — mostly on the amount of money you want to spend.
Map of places

We’ve been at the following places:

  • 6: It is quite small and need to sit in the dirt or be there very early but you get the same view as the Gold tribune. It is behind the fence but also has a big screen. Going direction Stavelot shows the cars at top speed but you need to look between the trees to see them.
  • The big corner near Stavelot gives a nice overview, you can stand a bit higher and look over the fence.
  • Direction 5 is fences and double fences. Advantage are the big screens.
  • The other side of the silver tribune is probably one of the better place but this is really very crowdy. See the image below which is taken from the opposite side.

  • Green area Eau rouge. Here you see the cars at top speed. We’ve been on the inside of the track but there you sit behind a fence. On the ‘green’ area you are able to look over the fence.
Did the race take long?
No, it was over before we noticed.
