Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps - Informations

The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps echoes with a thousand fabulous stories from the heroic era since the early 1920s, when people raced on dirt roads at the wheel of fearsome machines.

Dreamed up by aristocrats from Liège in a magical triangle between Francorchamps, Malmedy and Stavelot, the Ardennes layout drew from its grandiose natural surroundings a strength of character that has stood the test of time. In 1939, human imagination gave birth to a unique corner.

Raidillon - Eau Rouge was to become famous all over the world, revered by every driver.

In step with the evolution of motorsport, the circuit has always adapted to the FIA's safety requirements.

It has retained the most prestigious events, such as Formula 1 and the 24 Hours race.

It has reconnected with its roots and with sports prototypes, and it is resolutely looking to the future and to new disciplines.

At the crossroads of Europe, it drives a whole local economy and is a perfect venue for all kinds of promotional events.
