done early enough to have some free time.
Is it worth it to make a trip to Spa? Any good racing museums or
something in the area?
Thanks for any info!

Having said that its worth a visit even without the motor sport
connection. It really is a very nice place, plenty of resturants
and wonderfull surroundings. If you've got free time i would
recomend going.

Parts of the circuit are public road, so if theres nothing going on, you
can take a spin. If Im not mistaken, the open part is the section from La
Source down through Eau Rouge, Raidillon and up to Les Combes, where the
road turns left and downhill instead of into the right-left-right-left that
is used on the track today. The left at Les Combes and the subsequent
downhill stretch is actually the old circuit, used in GPL - it goes all the
way down to the Burnenville righthander (look out for the red building on
the left going in race direction, its actually there). Further down, Ive
heard that the Masta kink is still there as well, but I havent seen it
myself. At any rate, if youre a GPL fan (and even if youre not) its
definitely worth a visit.
As far as I am aware, there are no museums or anything like that at Spa,
but, depending on how much time you have on your hands, the Nurburgring is
only about 30 miles away over the border into Germany. They have a fairly
good museum (although it has a fake Ferrari 250 GTO, which is slightly
annoying) and of course you can take a spin on the Nordschleife if its
open.
Generally, its a beautiful area, both Spa and the Ring, and probably the
most concentrated area of motor racing history in Europe.
Hope that helps, get back to me if you want to know more.

The only part that's more or less destroyed is the Malmedy Complex: its
gone.
They made a new connection to the highway...
Don't pay for the museum at Stavelot: it's NOT worth it!!!
(I always tend to forget this and go there every 5 years: its a massive
dissappointment)
