Belgian Grand Prix - August 29-30, 2009
Spa-Francorchamps is considered by many to be the finest racing circuit in the world and is a favourite of many of the F1 drivers. The kind of atmosphere you get at Spa is something akin to the old Nurburgring. It is fast and modern and possesses a huge number of really excellent viewing areas. It is one of the favourite F1 venues for drivers and fans - Eau Rouge is really one of the great corners in F1.

Spa-Francorchamps made a welcome return to the calendar in 2007 with a revised start / finish line and a wider track at the La Source hairpin. After the dramatic start, the circuit rises and falls in spectacular fashion through the wonderful forests of the Ardennes - which are also responsible for the ever changing weather.

The Belgium GP consistently provides races of constant changes and drama; the recently upgraded Spa Francorchamps invariably offers a brilliant motor-racing experience.

 

 

Our packages offer a choice of destinations and hotels with the choice of a self drive tour using P&O Ferries and Eurotunnel or travelling by rail on the Eurostar or even flying to Brussels. We offer a VIP style coach transfers direct to the circuit.
