Has anyone been to the Belgium GP in the last few years?
I am going to this years and was wondering if anyone had any tips etc... for a smooth hassle free trip.
Also, the best viewing areas for a General Admission ticket holder.
Thanks

I went in 2013. We arrived late morning and managed to find a spot on the run down towards Pouhon which is a very fast section of the track and gave a really good sense of how fast the cars are.
We were essentially perched on a steep hillside in the forest with thousands of other fanatical intoxicated fans. By the end of the race the whole place smelled like a toilet and it also took us several hours to get out. Incidentally, we had parked in a farmer's paddock alongside a section of the original spa track.
Spa is a really long track by modern F1 standards so you don't get to see the cars all that often. They also don't do a victory lap which was really disappointing.
2013 was the last year with the V8s so I'm glad I went and had a good time despite the very basic facilities. Unfortunately Vettel dominated the race and the rain came 5 minutes after the race ended...
I also managed to get a speeding ticket on my drive back to Holland afterwards!
