Race Notes | 2025 Belgian Grand Prix | Epi #135 | Trackside at Spa: A Fan’s Grand Prix Adventure

Troy, a listener and 2 Guys, A Girl and F1 community member, brings first-hand insights from trackside at the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix.

What’s it really like to go on a 12-hour road trip for Formula 1, navigate the forested hills of Spa, and catch the action from the mighty Pouhon grandstand? Troy shares the highs (efficient park-and-ride, epic car control views) and the challenges (bring your best walking shoes!) of his journey from the UK to one of motorsport’s most legendary venues.

In this episode:

• What makes Spa’s Silver 3 grandstand a must for fans who love seeing the limits of F1 car control
• How rookies like Bearman and Hadjar impressed trackside, and what Troy saw that TV can’t capture
• Honest reflections on the sprint weekend format and how seeing the race in person shapes your view of the event

Plus: Dick and Sabrina invite more of you to share your own race-going stories and join the evolving 2 Guys, A Girl and F1 community.
