Few questions actually.

I assume there are food and drink vendors on site. Am i allowed to take in my own stuff?

Also, I want to take my camera and a big lens (100-400 Canon), but some events wont allow you to do so without a press pass. Is that the case?

General tips though would be ace :) Dead excited.
 
Lovely thanks guys. I'm in a grandstand so i suppose i'll be worrying about heads and shoulders in shot :(

I'll remember the waterproofs just in case!

I'm staying at Bedford Hotel & Congress Centre which is in Brussels so it'll be a long drive back post-race (well, 100 miles), but that doesnt really bother me. I'll be flying back monday morning so got to drive to Brussels at some point anyway.
 
I've got weekend tickets, but it's likely i'll spend saturday in Brussels. The tickets were a gift so the hotel being so far from the track is beyond my control, sadly.

Thanks for the driving tips. I'm a little worried as i always am when driving abroad but i'm sure it will be fine.
 
Hah ok, great tip thanks for that.

Final question, looks like one of my party isnt going. Do you need ID to redeem the tickets at the track? If not, i could give the ticket away.+

Edit: looks like you do. It says on the ticket, but wondered if on the day it was so busy they just skipped it.
