[OT] Accomodation in Zolder, Belgium

Hi folks, we're planning to attend the champcar race in Zolder this year (End of August), and I was wondering if anybody here can recommend some good accomodation within cycling range of the circuit. A B&B would be great, or some appartment which offers breakfast for the day. Thanks in advance & all the best, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

These guys are about 15km away from the circuit (there are no real centres of habitation within 10km and any accomodation within 5km is centered around the participants) http://www.iyhf.org/dba/hostel008014.en.htm Be quick though, 'cuz the traffic situation here is such many Belgians will be looking to spend the nights close to the circuit too.

Hi Jan, thanks for the link. I wonder how it comes to be that a GP circuit is built in the middle of nowhere, 10km from any major population centre, but so be it ;-) All the best, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

I think it's to do with money. If you want to build a circuit somewhere where people actually want to live and build businesses, the land prices are going to be too high to afford. Jan. =---
