Belgium Grand Prix
Belgium Grand Prix 14th - 16th September 2007, Spa
Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps circuit is among the most historic on the Formula One calendar, having hosted a (non-championship) Grand Prix as long ago as 1924. It remains one of the most popular venues with drivers and fans alike and makes a welcome return to the schedule for the 2004 season.
Run on narrow public roads, the original Spa layout was an amazing 14.9 km long and notoriously dangerous. The lap distance was reduced slightly over the years, with some corners eased, but when the 'old' circuit staged its final Grand Prix in 1970 it still measured just over 14 km and remained staggeringly quick - Chris Amon set that year's fastest lap at an average speed of just under 245 kph.
Spa did not return to the calendar until 1983 and then in drastically revised form, with lap distance cut to just under seven kilometres. Somehow, though, the circuit's magic was retained. Around two thirds of the lap used the original layout and the legendary Eau Rouge corner remained intact. Only the new Bus Stop chicane on the run down to La Source drew criticism.
The nearest International Airport is Brussels. It has conections all over Europe and is only a two hour drive from the track. Getting to the circuit is easiest by road. If you don't hire a car catch a train to Liege and take one of the many buses laid on to the track.
