Circuit de Francochamps is one of the most challenging courses in the world due to its fast, hilly and twisty nature. Considered by many to be the best circuit on the F1 calendar, Spa has the longest lap length of all, and is certainly one of the most scenically beautiful, surrounded by wooded hills and small farms.

It is also renowned for its changeable weather; it is not unknown for one half of the track to be streaming wet and the other under hot, blue skies. Despite using public roads for half its length, Spa is used most weekends and on many weekdays for practice and testing. As well as the Belgian Grand Prix, it also famously hosts a 24 hour Saloon car race.

While enjoying an ideal spot in these green Ardennes, the track stretched in a hilly landscape is made of numerous straight portions, particularly suitable to achieve high speeds. Moreover, being close to Spa, already famous on the international scale for its hydrotherapy, and where some car races had been popular for a few years, this track has a lot of assets to be successful and is a wonderful destination.
