Weirdly, Monaco is going to be *significantly* cheaper than Silverstone, which feels quite wrong.
Let's review the value proposition after Silverstone.

Last and only time I went to Spa was 1995 and it was extremely basic, like a pop up track in the middle of the woods. I think that's what made it magical.
There were people hooked with carabiners hammocked to trees up the side of Eau Rouge, obviously not like that any more.
But the campsites were awesome and basic too, it's the atmosphere that made Spa, very festival spirited.

Just seen bburago 1/43 F1 cars selling for £6 at my local Morrisons - its a shame they only make 7 teams; getting a full grid for £120 would have made younger me very happy!
LOL. My 18 yo bought one of those for Christmas for my 21 yo. Paid 3x that much on Amazon, plus shipping to Texas from somewhere in Europe. Maybe I should be in the model car resale binness!

Last time I went was 2014 and it was still pretty basic then - as is probably to be expected in a place as topographically interesting as Spa is.
The atmosphere was partly fun - boy scouts selling beer, chips and mayo are essential parts of the Spa experience - but my wife and her sister HATED it - the clientele was pretty much all male (the both got very, very tired of them ogling them constantly), laddish and drunk. It had a slightly intimidating atmosphere that I bet is worse now than back then, since we have the orange army to bring a few more Heinekens to the party. The forests were basically urinals too, which didn't help.
I'll go again, but it will be without wives, for sure.

I last went in 2017 - and yes it's still fairly basic, which is part of the charm IMO (as much as Liberty want to get away from tracks in the middle of nowhere). Surrounding area/car parks are very grim if there's a hint of rain, which as we know, is almost certain at Spa. A nightmare to get in and out of. The 'fanzone area' seems to keep most of the trouble-makers in one place for the most part, but I didn't see any problems when last there.

Pouhon seemed like that scene out of Apocalypse Now when Willard turns up and finds there to be no C.O. But with more cans of lager.
And so, so, so much urine running down the side of the hill as everyone urinated in the forest.

I really shouldn’t have filled my water bottle up there.

I remember my mum telling my 9 year old self that 'those clumsy Germans dropping their sausages out of their hotdogs everywhere ' as we rambled from the densly wooded Schumacher campsite shrines to the Paddock entry.
They were turds. Footlong German turds.

Same at Monza.He also said the token system was a total disgrace and designed to frustrate and rip off the fans in equal measure
