Sleeping Acoomodation:
Sleeping during a 24 hrs race...you must be joking ;) Although camping on the parking is not allowed officially we did saw several people with tents. But if you really want to camp out ther are several campsites near the circuit. Hotels during the 24hrs weekend are usually fully booked and charge overrated prices.
For more details check the official Spa Francorchamps website
Parking:
As you enter the circuit area there are several Temporary Parking areas. Officials will try to steer you to a parking as far away as possible from the Circuit entrance so just keep going down the main road until they really stop you. Parking fee last year was �8 p/car.
