AT THE CIRCUIT

Here are some practical tips to help you enjoy the race weekend stress-free and stay focused on the on-track action.

FOOD AND DRINK

You’re allowed to bring food into the circuit. Inside the grandstands and fan zones, you’ll find numerous food stands offering a range of fast food options. Beer, water, and soft drinks are typically available, with prices comparable to other European motorsport events. Free water refill stations are also available across the fan zones, allowing fans to stay hydrated throughout the event without extra cost.

COMMUNICATIONS

Before heading to the circuit, save all essential information on your phone, including tickets, maps, and details about your favourite drivers. Since mobile networks may be overloaded, especially on Sundays, you could face connectivity issues. This might also affect your ability to call friends. To avoid this, plan a time and place to meet up in advance, just like in the old days before mobile phones became widespread.

NOISE

Remember, motorsport events can be quite loud. While the noise levels are manageable in standard seating areas, it's wise to use earplugs when sitting closer to the track. For children, be sure to bring ear protection to keep them comfortable and safe from the high noise levels.

WEATHER

The weather at Spa-Francorchamps in May is generally mild, though it can be quite variable. Daytime temperatures typically range between 13°C and 16°C, with mornings often cooler, dropping to around 4°C to 8°C. The area is known for its unpredictable weather, so while a mostly dry week may be forecast, there’s always a possibility of rain on certain days, such as Saturday, with occasional passing showers.

For the most accurate information, it is advisable to check a reliable weather forecast closer to the date of your visit, as weather conditions can change from year to year. For example, we recommend the Windy app.
