Spa-Francorchamps

Spa-Francorchamps

The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is a motorsport racetrack in the Walloon region of Belgium. It is located in the Ardennes, in the triangle between the towns of Stavelot (to whose municipal area the circuit belongs), Spa and Malmedy - just under 20 km from the German-Belgian border at Monschau. The start/finish area of the circuit is located near the village of Francorchamps, which is also the reason for the name of the circuit.

The track is also known as the "Ardennes rollercoaster" due to the difference in altitude of around 100 meters in total and the numerous bends where high centrifugal forces occur. The Belgian Grand Prix has been held there, with a few interruptions, since 1925; since 1950 as a Formula 1 World Championship race.
