Day 1 at the Spa 24h complete (for me anyway!) - Qualifying starts shortly, and is online here:
That's followed by night practice, then a pitwalk session - but the pitwalk doesn't start until 0045 😅
I'm still recovering from some bug, and I really needed some good rest over the last 2 days, and it has paid dividends - so I'm not going back to the track tonight.
There's another pit and track walk tomorrow night as well, and it's much earlier (still 10.30 pm, but hey...)

I can't overemphasise how much better it is staying in Francorchamps than it is in Spa. I've already met two fellow guests and we bumped into each other a few times at the track. I also had a very brief chat with Kelvin van der Linde and Jann Mardenborough, and Sandy Mitchell gave me a nod of approval from his scooter for getting out of his way 😅
So far it has been awesome, and tomorrow will be a lazy day so I have enough energy for the pit and track walk by night.
Free Practice is almost my favourite part of the race meet, since the crowds are still small and you can go wherever you like. I got some amazing views from spots that will be jammed packed on Saturday.
