What to know about Combes 3 at Spa-Francorchamps
Combes 3 is a covered grandstand that faces one of Formula 1's most dramatic corners. You sit between Turn 7 Malmedy and Turn 8 Rivage, positioned directly at the heavy braking zone that follows the high-speed Kemmel Straight. This is the primary overtaking point at the Les Combes-Malmedy complex, so you will see intense competition, bold moves and hard racing throughout the race distance.
Your seat is numbered and covered, protecting you from the weather whilst offering changing light conditions. The stand experiences a mix of sun and shade as the day progresses, so you may want to bring sunscreen and layers depending on the time of day you plan to watch. A large video screen is integrated into the grandstand so you can follow incidents and overtakes elsewhere on the circuit without missing what happens in front of you.
Combes 3 offers better value than the higher-priced Silver Grandstands whilst providing a more elevated and structured experience than General Admission zones.
