Track Parade
This is when the grandstands really start to fill up. 2 hours before lights out, drivers warm-up for the race by waving at fans and answering questions. Last chance photo op before the helmets go on.

Belgian GP Schedule 2025: Support Races
Formula 2
A good chance to see the star drivers of the future. F2, the feeder series to F1 has seen many well-known names pass through its ranks. The single-seater cars have an identical chassis, engine and tyres which means it’s all about driver skill and the racing is close.
On Friday the F2 action starts with a 45-minute practice session in the morning and a 30-minute qualifying in the afternoon. The Sprint Race is on Saturday and the Feature Race on Sunday.
Formula 3
Formula 3 is an important step on the road to success in single-seater motor racing. Drivers who do well here usually go on to compete in F2 and sometimes even make the leap to F1.
The F3 schedule starts with a 45-minute practice session on Friday followed by a half-hour qualifying session. A sprint race takes place on Saturday and the second and final race takes place on Sunday morning.
Porsche Supercup
The long-term support act for F1, Porche Supercup is a one-make racing series that accompanies most of the European F1 races and some of the long hauls too.
The schedule for Belgium sees a 45-minute practice session on Friday, a 30-minute qualifying session on Saturday and a 30-minute race on Sunday.
Historic F1 Car Demonstration
Don’t miss seeing some legendary F1 cars in action during the race weekend. The historic demonstration features a variety of classic F1 cars, showcasing the rich heritage of the sport. It’s a rare treat to see these vintage machines, once driven by the greatest names in F1, out of the museums and back on the track.
Each day there are 20 minutes allotted for historic car demonstrations.
