Any more of these to share
Many of my photos are so-so, so here are a few that turned out OK.

Saturday:
We walked around the track while they were doing trainings and qualifying.

Training at +/- 11:00, Toyota going up Eau Rouge, shot through a fence:
Image

Then we walked to Pouhon, to watch the Porsche cup and F1 qualifying at 14:00:

Button, 1/125 f7.1 220mm ISO100

Webber, 1/250 f7.1 210mm ISO200
Image
Vettel:

Towards the end of qualifying we walked up the hill, near the spot we went to the next day.
Toyota, 1/800 f7.1 400mm ISO200

Sunday:
Small racecars first (don't know which class this is, filename is called formulaBMW by mistake). 1/160 f5.6 ISO400 330mm
Image

Then Formula BMW (no pics) and GP2:
1/200 f6.3 400mm ISO200
Image

Then came the Porsches. This guy got knocked off the track...
Image

...by Henny (dented bumper to prove it):
Image

After that the real race started:
Buemi, 1/400 f6.3 400mm ISO100
Image

The elevated spot allowed a view of the pits and other parts of the track. Here you can see all the people up at the fences:
Image

Webber, 1/250 f6.3 400mm ISO200
Image

Barichello, "pop goes the weasel!". 1/320 f8 400mm ISO200
Image

The rest of my pictures are similar to these, so I'll leave it at this. :) Hope you like.

Hi Harry,

Nice pics again, lots of variation. Love that top shot from Buemi! Below a few more from Friday, in the wet, the sun and a few arty ones :roll: Again taken from Rivage and just beyond the former bus-stop chicane, when entering the start/finish straight.

I am curious if someone made pictures in the Stavelot corner. A new grandstand was placed there and it was only accessible with a steel ticket.

And a few from Saturday:

and finally poor Luca Badoer, even for us it was easy to see that he was dead slow....

Well, that is all for this year. Had a nice 2 days with Maurice and Ferry, next year off to Le Mans??
