F1 Grand Prix of Belgium
Spa Francorchamps, Belgium - 29th August 2010
The Belgian Grand Prix is always a highlight of the calendar - with the weather always unpredictable. The Spa-Francorchamp circuit is one of the fastest in the championship providing a tough challenge for all of the teams.
The fabulous Spa-Francorchamps is situated in the beautiful Ardennes region of Belgium. The circuit often provides some of the most exciting racing of the season and is regarded as one of the most challenging races of the season for the drivers. Inclement weather can also be a feature of the race.
Being the longest lap distance on the F1 calendar it can sometimes be dry on one section and wet on another. A beautiful setting, and a classic F1 venue.
Proposed Dates – 3 night programme
Depart from UK Friday 27th August
Return to UK Monday 30th August
Proposed Base & Hotel
Maastricht is located just 45 minutes from Spa. The city attracts many international tourists not only for its rich history (founded by the Romans) but also for its beauty. The city centre which is split in two by the river Maas is especially attractive, due to its wealth of historic buildings; some 1450 monuments are protected by law. Care is taken that both new and renovated buildings maintain the period atmosphere of their surroundings. Because of its heritage value, the whole of Maastricht city centre has been declared a 'protected area'.
Hotel Beaumont Maastricht
A stay in Hotel Beaumont Maastricht is a unique experience. Innovation and quality characterize this hotel that received a Dutch Hotel Award in 2005. The restaurant in the hotel, which is part of 'Maastricht Culinair', offers outstanding creations and a fine selection of wines.
A stroll through the vicinity of the hotel will take you along the historic city centre and the beautiful architecture of the Céramique area. Several renowned European architects have left their mark on the impressive buildings that can be found here. Hotel Beaumont fits perfectly into these surroundings.
Quality and innovation are the core business of the hotel and this did not go unnoticed and in 2005 the hotel management won a Dutch Hotel Award. A stay in Hotel Beaumont is a special experience of its own. The excellent service has been built up by three generations of the Beaumont family. The professional staff are passionate about their work and truly go that extra mile for their guests.
