Thank you very much for this information, we are travelling all the way down from Argentina and this is really helpfull for us.

I am writing to inquire about the departure schedule of the shuttle to the circuit during the race weekend. I have noticed that the shuttle departs from Brussels at 6:30 AM, and I would like to understand the reasoning behind this early timing.

1) Departure Time: What time do you recommend departing for the circuit to arrive on time and without issues?
2) Early Departure Reason: Could you please explain why the shuttle leaves so early in the morning?
3) Traffic Concerns: Is it unfeasible to depart later due to traffic or other logistical factors?
4) Pre-F1 Activities: What activities are available before the main F1 events?

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on this matter, as it will help me better plan my trip and ensure a pleasant experience during the event.

THANK YOU :) !!

We are planning the same – we are staying right by the train station the TEC website is quite helpful and the man on the info email has given us a bit of advice – though not sure how reliable it may be!

It looks like there are public buses from Spa to the circuit, but you need to change along the way. Bus 295 then switch to 294/395. Total travel time about 40 minutes. Routes and timetables on Waze or Google Maps.

Hello, in your position I would take the car. Make sure you get there early! It will be much less hassle than the shuttle. Don’t be in a hurry to leave straight after the race when the traffic is the worst. You only need to purchase the parking ticket for the car, not per person.

Hi
I also have a question! I also have bronze tickets for just sunday ;) I am arriving from Cologne and was wondering, whether you think it’s better to catch the shuttle service, or whether I should book parking at the green area, as we would like to be standing at Turn 10! And if we decide to do the parking (we are two people), do I have to buy one ticket for the car, or a parking ticket per person?

Thanks!

Hi Jan,
I’m also traveling with my son to the race and staying in Aachen. I’m trying to figure out the best way to get to the track each day. I’ve read taking the train then a shuttle bus but also heard there are some direct busses. What mode are you using to get to the track each day?
Thank you
Kendrick

I don’t know exact travel time from Aachen to Spa on race weekend, but 1.5 hours sounds about right (without traffic, it’s 1 hour approx). The official City Shuttles, yes you should have your own seat – some of these are almost long-distance buses (3+ hours each way), so they must be all seated

That’s my understanding, if you want to take public transport. Take the train from Aachen to Verviers (takes about 30 mins), then the local shuttle bus to the circuit. It’s up to you when you get to the track, and also what tickets you have. Do you want to see ALL the on-track action, then leave early at 6-7am. Especially if you are in General Admission and need to find a good spot to watch. If you have grandstand seat and don’t need to see all the support categories, you can leave later, at 9-10am > to get there before or around midday.
