The official website of the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps has posted some new images showing the extensive work which is currently being done to run-off areas and spectator grandstands. The Belgian Grand Prix host venue is in the middle of heavy modifications to make the track safer and satisfy requirements to enable motorcycle racing at the track.
24 Hour pit grandstands
The grandstands that overlook the secondary pitlane used for the annual Spa 24 Hours race and for support series during the Belgian Grand Prix is being heavily modified to help provide what the circuit says will be a “more modern” grandstand.
Turn 1 – La Source hairpin
The first corner on the grand prix circuit is having its run-off extended with a gravel trap installed to help slow cars down in the event of an accident or car failure.
Turn 8 – Bruxelles
The sweeping, downhill right hander of Bruxelles will have part of the asphalt run-off that runs along the outer confines of the corner reduced and the existing gravel trap extended closer to the track itself.
Turn 16 – Blanchimont
