I've been and was in a grandstand at the last corner, so could see the cars come in through the S bend and up the pit straight. I found it a bit boring so I'm trying Spa this year

its all changed there now, there are new pits which are no where near the old ones,
people who sit in the grandstand opposite the old pits wont be able to see the new pits at all.

its called 'the wing' and its fooking huge
