I enjoyed it too. Got there on Sat evening and met up with all and sundry, then back early doors Sunday to see some racing. HGB borrowed a Team entry pass for me from one of the drivers! But it was still only a paddock ticket...
So, after watching some stuff early, I blagged my way into an admin office opposite the grandstand and watched the start and first few laps from an open window...
Then I went up the top of the building where a gruff old boy told me to clear off.
So off I cleared - down the steps into the pit lane. No-one checked the pass, so I zipped up my coat over it, and had a great time standing by pit crews as their cars came in, taking lots of pics. I would have stayed longer except I ran out of memory and I thought I'd missed the drinking appointment...
Finally met up with HGB to return the pass (thanks mate!) and, true to form, left a good few hours before it finished.
En route to Frankfurt I pit stopped, and the car wouldn't restart. Had it once before. leave it 20 mins or so and it's OK (heat related problem...). Then it ran fine for 200 very fast miles to Frankfurt. Went out later for a quick trip round the sights, got there OK but on the return leg the car wouldn't go more than about 3 miles then cut out. It wsas a late night (03:30).
It's in an Opel dealer now, suspected crankshaft sensor thingy, part on order, to be fitted tomorrow. Hope they are right, otherwise it could be a very slow trip back to Calais on Wed...
Apart from the mist (or was it fog?) I enjoyed Spa. Oh, and forgetting my jacket so having to buy one in Carrefour. And the additional £35 Seafrance charfged me for wanting to get an earlier ferry...and, of course, the motor...
