Enjoy/Casinos? Pack of cards & a flashlight if you're camping, or you can wander into the pretty town of Spa by the circuit main gates. The town of Maastricht in Holland often coincides festivals with Major race events at the circuit. This is the place to be!
Restaurant Tip:
Bring your own or be doomed to notoriously over-priced Belgian food. It's yummy but you feel ripped off. Try Fondue, it was invented in Belgium. Lunch is the main meal & can last over an hour and consist of up to 5 courses, not including the beer. Local faves include - Anguilles au vert (Eels in herb sauce), Carbonnade flamande (Beer-stewed beef), Moules marinière (Steamed mussels), or even locally caught trout which seems to appear on every menu.
