Not been but was told by my engine builder and a few guys I met at the Ring that its one of the best circuits in the world !

Wasn't there a race there last weekend with something like 140 beetles !

I love it! It's a great circuit [about 10 minutes outside Spa in Francorchamps] and Spa itself is a lovely place

They even have crazy golf.

Though it's in the valleys and it'll be pissing down this time of year so doubt you'll get to play

Yip its a supurb part of Belgium.
The pit complex is very spread out and on lots of diferent levels, it depends if you are in the F1 pits or in the other pit garages down the hill.
You have to experiance it to believe it.
But you will love it.
