EXPO/SWAP-MEET traders, DRAG participants, and RACING participants

You MUST still arrive at the BLANCHIMONT access of the Circuit (Route de l'Eau Rouge 22, 4970 Stavelot). You MUST still leave highway E42 at EXIT 11 Malmedy. In roundabout, follow directions "Spa/Trois-Ponts/Francorchamps/Stavelot" (photo1). Then you will have no other choice to turn right following "Spa/Francorchamps/Burnenville" signs and Stavelot deviation (photo2). Photo3 is probably most important, you MUST FOLLOW STAVELOT direction (be careful sharp right 180° U-turn!). From this point you will be on N68 which is right direction towards BLANCHIMONT access. Only from this point you can trust your GPS again by following address: Route de l'Eau Rouge 22, 4970 Stavelot.

Last thing when you arrive at Route de l'Eau Rouge end, in front of gate, you must turn right, go down ramp, go under tunnel (height 4.00m) BLANCHIMONT. You will find our volunteers a little further away ready to welcome you with a well-deserved aperitif!

AIRCOOLED VW PARTICIPANTS, Watercooled CAMPERS, PRESS members, and VISITORS

 

A few days ago we advised you to possibly come by EXIT 11 Malmedy of E42 highway to reach STER access, in order to respect neighborhood living in Francorchamps near Circuit, to try to dilute traffic, and to limit traffic jams...
Today it isn't really an advice anymore, it's almost an OBLIGATION!
In addition to road work on N68 towards Blanchimont access, when everything seemed finished, quite substantial road work resumed after Formula 1 on the main road crossing Francorchamps village before arriving at Circuit!!! If you are a regular visitor you know what this road can look like in normal times during LeBugShow... Can you imagine chaos it could cause with additional road work!?
In order to try to limit the inconvenience as much as possible, PLEASE COME by the E42 highway EXIT 11 Malmedy, to reach usual STER access (Route du Fagnou 4, 4970 Stavelot)
When you exit highway, in roundabout follow "Spa/Trois-Ponts/Francorchamps/Stavelot" directions (photo 1). Then you will have no other choice to turn right following "Spa/Francorchamps/Burnenville" signs (photo2). Photo3 is probably the most important, you MUST GO STRAIGHT on N62 towards FRANCORCHAMPS. You can trust your GPS by following address: Route du Fagnou 4, 4970 Stavelot. And as a reminder, you will be driving on part of the original Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps!
