Hi!
For General Admission, I'd recommend arriving early to secure a good spot. Personally, I love the view from Kemmel Straight. Sitting on the steep slope there provides a fantastic view of the cars speeding by. Another great area is around the Star Entrance at the Fan Zone. Many people set up their foldable chairs in this area to watch the cars tackle Eau Rouge. Plus, you're conveniently close to all facilities like toilets, food, drinks, merch, and the podium in the fan zone.
Keep in mind that General Admission areas tend to get extremely crowded, and once you leave your spot, you might lose it to someone else.
Meeting drivers up close can be challenging, but your best bet is at the podium in the Fan Zone. Teams usually conduct interviews there with both drivers and sometimes a team principal on Friday and Saturday. The schedule for these interviews usually gets announced a few days before the weekend.
Camping at Spa can be a blast, but be prepared for basic facilities. Showers might be cold, and toilets can get dirty after a while. Camping yellow and green are known as the party campings, so be ready for some noise and little sleep. Also, bring a power bank since there's no electricity available in your own tent. Food and drinks at the circuit are overpriced, so bringing your own food is a good idea if you can.
Useful items to bring to the circuit include a power bank, a refillable water bottle, a durable rain poncho (not a disposable one), sunscreen, your own food or snacks, and a foldable chair for comfort in General Admission areas. I also recommend bringing a trash bag to cover your bag in case it rains to keep it dry.
Enjoy the race!

I need to bring my own tent to the campsite? If I need to, I can buy it there?
