Off to Spa24 arriving Wednesday to catch the Spa street parade and have all access tickets for the weekend.
We are staying in an apartment in the city, so wondering if there are shuttle bus's that run to and from the circuit.
Will save getting stuck in traffic between apartment and track and would allow for some alcoholic liquid consumption.
Any help/advice appreciated.

I’ve only camped, not gone in and out, but I’d be seeing if access to the road that runs up from Stavelot is passible and looking to park on the verge, most years it seems to be possible (for a fee), otherwise try coming up from Malmedy and parking at Les Combes, it’s on a slope though so might be tricky if it’s wet.
Wherever you go get in early, traffic was chaos around the WEC, not helped by roadworks in Francorchamps

Thanks.
We are there from Wednesday so will have a scout around on the quieter days.
Cheers
If you’ve not done it before you should drive the old circuit from Les Combes, through Burneville, along the Masta straight and up to Paul Frere, which will include the areas I was suggesting, worth doing early in the week as they have booths on the roads and charge you to drive through as a way of collecting parking money, times they’re there don’t seem particularly fixed We are there from Wednesday so will have a scout around on the quieter days.

This coming race will be my 4th 24 and despite coming in every day and at odd hours during the race I have never encountered any booth on a public road.
Usually come in from Stavelot, parking at double gauche. Have also parked Les Combes. But I do have a pass for on circuit parking. Quite a few park on the verges on the Blanchimont gate access road from Stavelot, but it's then a hell of a walk.

Hi,
Enjoy your trip, I am heading down on Thursday and have been for the last 4 years. It is an amazing event but is looking wet this year. I can't say I have seen many bikes but there has been a few so doubt you will have any issues, just be aware it is exceptionally hilly. The trip from where you will enter at Les Combes to the fan village (bottom of Radion) is down hill but the trip back is steep. The entire 7km circuit is accessible by some form of path and if you are there on Friday evening there is a circuit walk which would be great on a bike. any other questions just ask.
Regards Craig

Cheers guy, we'll stick with plan A And if it's too packed lock the bikes somewhere and come back later. Noted about the hills, I've been powering up the mendips with him over last couple of years so the odd hill won't be a showstopper. Regarding the track walk, have you seen people do it on bikes before? That would be really cool. Might even make 2 laps...
