Hello F1-Fan ́s, it’s time again, the GP on the mE most beautiful track in the racing calendar is on: Grand Prix of Belgium / Spa-Francorchamps Facts Name Spa-Francorchamps Length 7,004 meters laps 44 distance 308.052 km local time CEST Start 14:00 CET Data Portrait The most popular race track in the calendar is Spa-Francorchamps.After several breaks due to commercial problems, the course returned to the calendar in 2007. The race track – only a good hour south of Aachen on the Belgian border – is a course of the old guard. Its exciting combination of fast curves, mountain and mountain climbs as well as the fantastic location in the middle of the Ardennes make the special flair. With a length of 7,004 kilometers, Spa-Francorchamps is the longest course in the racing calendar. Next to Monte Carlo, the Belgian Ardennes course is one of the outstanding driver routes. Reu vom Wheat. It is really exciting in Spa, when the typical Ardennes rain goes down. A whole weekend without a single raindrop has on the course, which partly consists of public roads, really rarity value. Since the track is in the middle of a mountain landscape, it can happen that part of the slope is wet, the other the pilots spoil with sunshine. Some drivers consider the track to be no longer up-to-date. Two curves. One of them is the Eau Rouge, a valley which is hit at around 300 km/h. If the drivers have to steer in, the track leads steeply upwards, which makes the cars easy. Often the pilots describe the feeling of being pushed into the seats with 4 g, with roller coaster riding. Also known is the Blanchimont, a 300 km/h left turn, where one should not fly away better due to lack of exit zones.
