I'm going to Spa this summer. It's going to be my first real life F1 event!

I went last year to Spa, but only for the friday.

Couple of quick tips in case it is your first time at Spa.

Wear comfortable shoes, you'll be walking a lot. Weill, you should at least. Check out the circuit apart from your seats.
The height difference is bigger than you might have guessed from TV. Eau Rouge is insane to look at.
Watch F2 and F3 whenever you can. They sound and look way better IRL. F3 is loud as fuck.
Take food and water with you, buying on premise is expensive.
Most impressive thing for me? The breaking. Go stand at Les Combes and be afraid they're breaking too late because that shit doesn't seem physically possible. Every time.

Have fun
