GP Belgium almost sold out: ‘Never known such success’ | 1Limburg

Just under five months before the Belgian Grand Prix in Formula, almost all tickets have already been sold.

For the race weekend, which takes place at the end of August on the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps, only tickets for Friday and Saturday are available, about 3000 per day.

Good luck
In total, approximately 100,000 visitors are welcome on the circuit in the Ardennes per day. “We have never known such success,” Vanessa Maes, director of the organizing committee, told Belgian newspapers.

Rain
Many fans of world champion Max Verstappen are expected again at the race at Spa-Francorchamps. Last year, the Limburger won the Belgian Grand Prix. Due to excessive rainfall, there was no racing at that time, but the drivers only drove a few laps behind the safety car on the wet track. The organization decided to halve the World Cup points. Due to the corona measures, there were about 75,000 supporters in the stands, including tens of thousands of Dutch people.

It is unclear whether Formula 1 will still have a race in Belgium after this year. The contract with the Belgian organization expires at the end of this year and has not yet been renewed. A week after the Belgian GP, ​​the Dutch GP at Zandvoort is on the program. That will be on the weekend of September 4 and is already sold out. In three days, about 300,000 visitors come to the circuit in the dunes.
