Spa for the track
Le Mans for the race and party
Sebring 12 for the party and races (in that order)

For me it depends on the people going. If you have people new to endurance racing or really want the big party atmosphere then Le Mans. I would usually go for Le Mans for first timers. Le Mans is a festival where there just happens to be a race happening at the same time. With Spa it feels much more hardcore racing. There’s no LMP cars (I assume no LMH either), it’s less festival-like and much more about the stunning track and the race itself. Spa wins easily on the track, it is beautiful and you have a lot of vantage points. Le Mans wins because of the unique history and the party.

Presumably you’re talking about Spa 24, Spa WEC is also a great event, whatever the series Spa is always going to be a better place to watch than Silverstone, but it’s still a shame not to have a UK round, and just when they’d got it to a better time of year

Yes Spa 24. Couldn’t imagine going for the shorter race!
