Hi all, I'm lucky enough to be going to my first F1 event later this week and I'm driving over in my RB5. When doing my route plan I have struggled to find any Vpower on route from Zeebrugge to Spa. Or any stations selling any super, and my car is mapped to VPower. I've never run it on anything else, so has anyone got any advice?

Should I be taking some additive with me?

What's the procedure if I have to run on 95?

Does it matter? Am I being over cautious?

Thanks in advance

Fill up in the UK.

There is 98RON SUL near Spa. If you cant get any decent fuel, just dont give the car full power if you are concerned at all.

Every garage i stopped in recently in france, belgium, germany and holland sold some sort of super unleaded. The only garage that didnt was the odd bp garage. I found it easier there than back home

John, I will fill to the brim before leaving the UK, but I'm worried about getting caught out.
Retro, did that include Shell stations?
Internet service station search engines don't show any super in Belgium. Hopefully they are wrong

I'd fill up just before getting to the crossing. Take something like NF Octane booster and if you cannot find anything you can put about 150ml in the tank and fill up.

Just take it easy.

Yes that included shell stations and everyone had vpower. My car seemed to love the high octane TOTAL garage fuel out there, doesnt like it over here though. I seen 102 octane in germany.
