Last year they were just about flat out at Eau Rouge before the circuit properly dried in FP1.

But if one of the Caterham/Sauber drivers try it then they're brave!

I think you're gonna need the perfect car to take eau rouge flat this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see at least one in the barriers there. Blanchimont is also going to be interesting

Should work, possibly the tickets will be cheaper than on the Internet.

Time really flies. Is it late August already?

Spa. Best track in the calendar along with Suzuka. Strange enough, the track hasn't produced that memorable races lately. Last year rating had average of 4,79 (only Monza, Singapore, Abu Dhabi & Austin were worse). But that was last year. We have seen that this year even Hungaroring can be fantastic, so I see no reason why Spa can't be phenomenal.

I won't nag about rain, because Hungary just fulfilled this year's rain quota. Hopefully there will be proper weather conditions for running on Friday.

That was on Friday probably. I went that day as well and it was horrendous. I left at 2pm because it was unbearable.

I hope Friday and Saturday is dry, so we can see fast laps and lots of running. Then let it rain in the race. Not torrential rain but a few showers.
