Our verdict: General Admission
Spa is one of the best GA circuits in F1. The 7 km layout, hilly terrain, and natural viewing banks at Eau Rouge, Pouhon, and Bus Stop give you a genuine roaming experience that flat circuits cannot match. At €120–220, GA delivers the full Spa experience. The one case for a grandstand: if you want the Eau Rouge view guaranteed without arriving at dawn, or if the weather forecast is truly terrible and you want the Main Grandstand roof.
