Belgian Grand Prix Hospitality
The Belgian Grand Prix is known for Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in the Ardennes: the longest lap in Formula One at 7.004 km, the Eau Rouge and Raidillon climb, and weather that can soak one part of the track while another stays dry. Prestige Corporate Events arranges grandstand seating and travel on enquiry.

About the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps was laid out over public roads through the Ardennes, and that terrain still shapes the lap rather than the other way round. Formula One calls the Eau Rouge and Raidillon sequence arguably the most famous set of corners in the world, and singles out the grandstand at Pouhon for some of the best trackside atmosphere at the circuit. The circuit itself is careful about the naming: Eau Rouge is a stream, not a corner, and the Raidillon is the climb above it.
A race weekend follows the standard three-day pattern of practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday and the Grand Prix on Sunday. Session times for any given edition are published when Formula One confirms that season’s calendar, and appear on the relevant event page. Because Spa shares its calendar slot with another circuit, the gap between one Belgian round and the next is not always twelve months, which is worth knowing when you plan a group booking a year ahead.
Watching from the grandstands at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
The Combes grandstands are among the most requested seats at Spa. All four sit in the Combes area at the top of the Kemmel climb, next to the campsites, and the circuit presents them as an alternative between the Bronze and Silver zones rather than as a premium product. The circuit does not publish which corners are visible from each block. Seats there are numbered and allocated, as they are in the Silver and Gold stands.
Coverage is the detail worth pinning down before booking, and the circuit answers it in one line: the Gold 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 stands are covered, Grandstand Silver 4 is covered, and all other stands are uncovered. None of the four Combes stands appears on that covered list, so treat a Combes seat as open-air. Seat positions and the wider circuit are covered on the venue page.
What Belgian Grand Prix hospitality and travel packages include
The package is built for people who want one booking rather than three. Travel from London, the Brussels hotel nights and the reserved circuit seat are confirmed together, which removes the usual risk of holding a grandstand seat for a weekend you cannot then reach, or of committing to travel before the race date is settled.
It suits corporate hosts entertaining clients and private groups travelling as a party. Group size, seat block and travel dates are agreed on enquiry rather than fixed at checkout, and Prestige Corporate Events answers every enquiry with a call within two hours. The full inclusion list for the current tour, and the dates it runs to, are on the event page.
Getting to Spa-Francorchamps
Spa is reachable from the UK without flying. Eurostar runs direct from London St Pancras to Brussels in around two hours, and Brussels connects onward by rail to Verviers-Central, which the circuit names as its nearest station. From Verviers-Central, paid shuttle buses run to the circuit through the morning and back through the late afternoon.
Driving is the other option. Rather than publishing a fixed route, the circuit points visitors at live traffic guidance through the Waze app. Parking at the venue is a separate purchase from the entry ticket, for cars and for motorcycles alike, and it needs booking ahead of the weekend. Our travel guide walks through the journey from the UK in full.
About Belgian Grand Prix Hospitality
The Belgian Grand Prix is a round of the Formula One World Championship, staged at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in the Ardennes hills of eastern Belgium. The circuit takes its name from the neighbouring village of Francorchamps and the spa town of Spa, and the race was on the calendar for Formula One’s first championship season in 1950. It no longer appears every year. Formula One has confirmed Spa for 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031, sharing its slot with Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which races in 2026 and then in 2028, 2030 and 2032, so the alternation between the two circuits takes effect from 2028 rather than immediately.
At 7.004 km it is the longest lap in Formula One, and Formula 1 gives the race as 44 laps for a distance of 308.054 km. Its defining sequence arrives early in the lap: Eau Rouge is the stream that runs under the track at the foot of the Raidillon, the steep climb the circuit describes as an acceleration ramp on a 17 per cent gradient and as having a drop of approximately 40 metres from the start of the curve to the exit of the bend. The exit fires the cars onto the Kemmel ascent, which the circuit says leads from the Raidillon to the Combes corner.
Motor racing at Spa dates back to 1921, when the course still ran over public roads through the Ardennes, and the Raidillon itself was created in 1939. The circuit has kept building around the racing since: over the winter of 2022 and 2023 it added new terraces and grandstands in the downhill section below La Source, making room for roughly 7,300 more spectators.
Seating is organised in zones. Gold covers the stands along the pit straight and at Eau Rouge, Silver covers stands further round the lap such as Francorchamps and Double Gauche, and Bronze is access to the pedestrian areas rather than a seat of your own. The four Combes stands sit next to the campsites at the top of the Kemmel Straight, and the circuit positions them as an alternative between the Bronze and Silver zones.
Weather is a working part of a Spa weekend rather than a footnote. The lap is long enough, and the Ardennes changeable enough, that in Formula One’s own words it can sometimes be raining on one part of the track and dry on another, so grip varies from corner to corner. Pack for rain whichever stand you are sitting in.
Prestige Corporate Events arranges the Belgian Grand Prix as a combined travel and seating package rather than a ticket on its own. The current tour is built around return travel from London, hotel nights in Brussels and a reserved numbered grandstand seat at the circuit across race weekend. What is and is not included, and the dates it runs to, are set out on the event page.
The Belgian Grand Prix is one round of a season that runs across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. For hospitality and travel at the other rounds, see our Formula One hub.

Frequently Asked Questions About Belgian Grand Prix Hospitality
Find answers to common questions about belgian grand prix hospitality packages and experiences.
No. Formula One has confirmed Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031, and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for 2026, 2028, 2030 and 2032. The two circuits therefore share a calendar slot, with the alternation biting from 2028 onwards rather than straight away. Those years come from Formula One’s own announcement, not from a Prestige Corporate Events estimate.
The circuit gives its address as Route du Circuit 55, B-4970 Francorchamps, in the Ardennes of eastern Belgium, well away from Brussels. Its nearest railway station is Verviers-Central, which is why most visitors base themselves in a city and travel in for race weekend rather than staying next to the track.
The circuit answers this in one line in its ticket FAQ: the Gold 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 stands are covered, Grandstand Silver 4 is covered, and all other stands are uncovered. None of the four Combes stands appears on that covered list, so treat a Combes seat as open-air. More on where each stand sits is on the venue page.
Yes. The circuit states that grandstand seats are numbered and allocated for each day of the weekend, so you know your exact seat before you travel. There is one published exception: the 17-27 Blanchimont stand, which has no numbered seats and works as open seating instead.
A Silver or Gold ticket gives you an assigned seat in the stands plus access to the Bronze areas, which are the pedestrian parts of the circuit. A Bronze ticket on its own gives you those walking areas but no assigned seat anywhere. The Combes Fan Zone, in the heart of the Green Zone, runs merchandise, simulators and a pit stop challenge through the day and stays open long after the track goes quiet.
You can drive and park, but you cannot stay. The circuit is explicit that leaving a vehicle in its car park overnight is not possible, and the facilities close each evening. Anyone who wants to remain on site between sessions needs a camping ticket rather than a parking one.
Most UK visitors take Eurostar from London St Pancras to Brussels and continue by rail towards Verviers-Central rather than flying. One thing catches people out on race day: the public bus lines that link Verviers-Central to the circuit are diverted on Sundays and do not serve it, so Sunday needs the paid shuttle or a car. Our travel guide covers the full journey in detail.
Prestige Corporate Events puts together a Belgian Grand Prix tour that combines travel, accommodation and a reserved grandstand seat as one booking, rather than selling tickets alone. It is built around a journey from London, a Brussels hotel stay and a numbered seat at the circuit. Current tour details, including exactly what is and is not included, are on the event page.
