Camping available just outside of the circuit; big fires, loud music, mud, 2cvs & a cracking atmosphere. If you don't fancy camping there's the Francorchamps Racing Hotel about a minute away: http://www.francorchamps-racing-hotel.be/en/home-29.phpWe stayed there in 2007 after arriving at the track at midnight in the snow.

 Re: SPA 24hour 2012
Neil- star as usual. I believe the race is free to watch?? What about the drive around the track- do you have to book?

 Re: SPA 24hour 2012
Chris, It's about 10€ to camp for the weekend - this gives you access to the track & pits. The lap of the track is another 10ish€, I think. You pay for the lap when you cough up for camping, you'll get a pass/sticker that allows you on to the circuit.
*I've moved this to the Belgian 2CV cup section.

 Re: SPA 24hour 2012
There are usually deals made to let the uk championship cars enter but rarely is there a big take up on this, one car usually, but as I understand it there will be two or three this year. I can't go this year, which I'm gutted about as I've gone every year since 2007 and it's my favorite 2cv meeting ever. Entry to watch is completely free, entry to the paddock is free, entry to the campsite, stands and pit areas are all free, camping last year was €16 and the same again to do the lap. No booking required just pay up on the gate and get your stickers. They normally throw a couple of goodies in, a poster, sticker, magazine or one year we were given condoms. Take firewood and stuff if you can as the container load they supply usually goes quite quick.
Best camp ever.

 Re: SPA 24hour 2012
I'll be heading down there the Friday and coming back Monday so as to see the end of the race. Most people clear off and last year, my van was the only one left in the camping field by about 4pm
