A stern test for both driver and car, the Belgian Grand Prix has been held at Spa Francorchamps every year since 1985 (excluding 2003). The Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix is a spectacular race with unpredictable weather, passionate fans and beautiful setting.
A grand favourite for drivers and fans, the Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps in the Ardennes Forest is one of the greatest circuits in the world and a real racing gem. Being the longest track on the calendar and revered for its exciting, high-octane layout, Spa is a fast, old-school circuit with big elevation changes and dangerously thrilling sweeping bends. The notorious Eau Rouge turn is one of the most challenging corners of the season, as it features a sudden elevation change at high speed.
