Belgium 2009 - Schedule - Times and dates for the popular but damp action in Spa
Published by Christine
In his infinite wisdom, Bernie deprives us of F1 for four weeks and then gives us back to back racing before we've had a chance to catch our breath. It's impossible to be mad, though, when we're approaching one of the most popular destinations on the calendar - Spa.
The BBC have their schedule set out from the very start of the season, so the first table below tells you when they'll be on. Meanwhile, the second table is our Sidepodcast schedule and is slightly more flexible.
