Gold 5 (uncovered rows) highlighted; other sections in grey.
Gold 5 is an uncovered grandstand at the foot of Raidillon, offering numbered seats positioned close to the track action. The lower rows provide an intimate vantage point of this iconic section, though the view is more focused than from higher seating, and a video wall is available for additional race coverage.
What to expect from Gold 5 uncovered seats at Spa-Francorchamps
Gold 5 places you at the base of Raidillon, one of Spa's most famous corners. Your numbered seat sits in the lower, uncovered rows of the grandstand, meaning you are close enough to feel the intensity of the racing but will be exposed to the elements throughout the day.
The proximity to track-level action is a strength of this category, but the trade-off is a narrower field of view compared to seats positioned higher in the same grandstand. You will see the cars negotiate Raidillon directly in front of you rather than enjoying a sweeping vista of the circuit.
A video wall is present in this grandstand, so you can follow race data and replays when the action moves away from your immediate sightline. This helps you stay connected to the broader race while enjoying your primary vantage point at Raidillon.
