There is a Total station before the town of Malmedy on the left.You need to exit Spa circuit from the rear entrance(tunnel).Go straight past Camping Eau Rouge and then its about 500metres on left.
Quick and easy plus a bit cheaper.

What's the deal with 99RON fuel in France/Belgium? Is it readily available?

I used one in Malmedy a few years back, miserable bunch of Flemish speakers there, and more to the point, they did not accept Visa or MasterCard.

That was back in 2007, so hopefully it will have changed by now if it is the same place.

Yes that's what I thought Joe, French speaking area but I came across that miserable lot. Perhaps they felt outnumbered.

By contrast when I went through Eupen another year, I really thought I was 20km away in Germany - everything street names, road signs, shop names was German.

I stopped to ask the way of someone and had to use German to be understood.

Never saw any 102/104 on any of the years I've been Iain??

Ross, 98 is the flavour at most pumps, so take an octane booster to mix...

@fuel: you could use this free mobile App to locate any fuel station near you.
Enter 'SPA 4900' and you'll see the stations close to the circuit. idea

There's a petrol station just outside the circuit, as well as the one inside, with no or little difference in prices from what I can remember.

You can buy chocolate from the one outside the circuit though laugh

Watching the Grand Prix at the weekend reminded me about this year's trip to Spa! Have fun folks, really jealous of you all! My 2 previous visits have been 2 of the best weekends away I've had!

If it's on next year i'm going to make a real effort to go!!

The tickets will be sent to me next week to distribute to all participants.

Please make sure that you have sent me your current address by pm if you want them posted to you.

It is possible to hand them over on the 0800 Dover Dunkirk ferry on the Friday morning or at the Hotel le Midi in Verviers on Friday evening if anyone wishes.

Thanks.

I grab mine on the ferry Pete, let's hope I get there on time wink

Another track related Q: I assume as it is a track we require both front and rear towing eyes?
Correct me if I'm wrong, the rear is a male thread and the front is a female thread?
Anybody got a spare set I could borrow for the trip?
Not that they will get any use, at least I bloody hope not!!! (Touching a lot of wood!)

Towing eye's are the same Pondman. I should have a spare i can dig out for you. Do you need two then?

Now I'm no old hand at this but on the Spa track advice pages it only refers to one towing eye, and that should be fitted before entering the arena.

One for the front is all that's needed Ross.

If you need pulling out by the rear, you'll need a skip not a towing eye tongue
