| Circuit Details |
Spa is widely regarded as the finest motor racing circuit in the world. It has an illustrious history which starts back in 1924. The original circuit back in the pre-war days was a fearsome nine mile test of man and machine with the course featuring a daunting mixture of unprotected public roads, trees, lampposts, road signs and houses.
Spa is notorious for it?s unpredictable weather. Even with the modern circuit shortened to 4.5 miles, conditions can still vary at any one time from one side of the track to the other. The track?s most famous corner, Eau Rouge, is still one of the most thrilling sights in Formula 1 for driver and spectator alike. It is a 160 mph rollercoaster of a corner that really sorts the men from the boys.
Over the years the track has seen some of the world's best drivers dominate. Ayrton Senna won the race for four consecutive years in the late-Eighties and early-Nineties, The track has become synonymous with Michael Schumacher in recent years. He made his debut there in 1991, took his maiden F1 win a year later and has gone on to win the race a further five times.
