The genteel town of Spa, at the heart of the Ardennes, was famous as far back as Roman times for its mineral springs and healing waters and has given its name to health resorts everywhere. The natural springs or ‘pouhons’ can be found around the town, each having its own mineral composition. The new, modern spa facilities remain one of the main attractions together with motor sports at the nearby Francorchamps circuit.
Spa is an excellent base for a racing event. It is a small town with plenty of specialty shops and many excellent restaurants. Menus featuring seasonal and local produce are always available – wild boar and venison with rich sauces are particularly good. Freshly caught fish is in no short supply either if you have a lighter taste. You can always walk it off in the Hautes Fagnes or at the circuit by making your way up to Pouhon, Blanchimont or Les Combes.
The Spa Six Hours weekend is a festival of racing with a phenomenal twenty race programme and plenty of action. The six hour endurance race begins early Saturday evening and inside the paddock there is plenty of food and drink and entertainment for all ages. The information stand will keep you up to date with events and you are free to wander at leisure and get close up to the fine tuning and race preparations. Your included entrance ticket gives you full access to the paddock and for Saturday evening we have included dinner inside the circuit.
Our three night itinerary allows you the flexibility to come and go as you please with a choice of nearby hotels. Racing does, however, begin on Friday so if you would like to travel out to Belgium on Thursday and spend an extra night, just let us know and we can arrange it for you.
