My Belgian Grand Prix Holiday Application Form
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
In order that your Belgian Grand Prix weekend experience fully matches up to your expectations and
requirements, kindly preview the options below and tick the box that you feel most suits your personal
needs.
- When arriving at the track with a spare ticket to sell, you would like to:
Sell the ticket to a tout for a substantial amount more than you originally paid, hence making a
tidy profit on the deal.
Sell the ticket to a fellow fan for roughly the face value, hence spreading a little joy and
recuperating your losses.
Sell the ticket to a tout for less than its face value, then later realise that you have
accidentally given him two tickets by mistake, hence have to purchase a replacement ticket
for more money than you gained from the transaction.
- During the penultimate final laps of the race, you would like to be:
Seated in the grand stand with a terrific view of the race leaders as they take the chequered
flag.
Standing with a view of the Eau Rouge corner, so that you can see the race winners parade
past shortly after passing the finishing line.
Wandering lost through the forest, only realising that the race is over because of the
sudden lack of noise.
- After the race you would like to return to Brussels by:
Catching a pre-arranged taxi cab from the track to Spa station, hence ensuring that your
train to Brussels arrives in plenty of time for the return trip on Eurostar.
Hopping on the regular bus service to Spa and then getting a train that brings you to
Brussels just in time to catch the return Eurostar train.
Missing a pre-arranged taxi that doesn't turn up, then waiting hours to be squeezed on
to the irregular bus service which gets stuck in traffic, hence arriving in Spa in time
to get on a train that brings you to Brussels an hour after your Eurostar return train has
already left and forcing you to buy another ticket for the Eurostar train the next morning
and spend the night in a hotel.
- When spending an extra unscheduled night in Brussels, you would like to stay in:
A luxurious yet inexpensive hotel, allowing you to relax after your ordeal in the safe
knowledge that they will provide a wake up call for you in the morning so that you do not
miss your train.
A cheap yet clean hostel, getting a few hours kip and setting your alarms early to make sure
you get to the station on time.
A dodgy hotel with complementary cockroaches, one per guest, that asks you if you would like
a wake up call in order to lull you in to a false sense of security since they have no
intention of actually giving you one, thus guaranteeing that you miss your train again.
