Circuit info Belgium

Circuit de Spa Francorchamps is located in Francorchamps in the province Liège of Belgium. It has a length of 7,004 km and 20 turns. It is one of the longest tracks on the Formula 1 calendar and offers many overtaking opportunities. The circuit is primarily known for hosting the Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix. 

Despite of many modifications, Spa Francorchamps is still authentic and considered to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the Formula 1 calendar as it follows the curves of its natural environment.

The most notorious part of Spa Francorchamps is the part between Eau Rouge and the famous Raidillon curve which is taken at full speed and leads the drivers straight into the forest. Also famous is the genuine hairpin La Source where the drivers almost stand still. The Bus stop is probably the most controversial curve; it is a chicane, designed to bring down the speed. In 2007 it was replaced by a 90º turn. In the same year some parts of the track were also modified under the pressure of Formula 1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone and FIA to put Belgium back on the Formula 1 calendar as it was removed in the year before that due to the bad infrastructure.
