Spa F1 Circuit History, Crashes and Onboard Old layout (FULL LAP 1962)

SPA is celebrating 100 years since its first ever race so I decided to do something special...
In this documentary you will find a rare complete lap onboard in the old Spa-Francorchamps circuit, its complete history and a compilation of the most famous crashes and some rare ones too.

I used and combined 4 rare films to complete the onboard video. Technology was way different back then... It´s not easy to synchronise them and even in the long film there are cuts that are not always possible to cover with other footage. Anyway, we have a full lap, except for 150m.

With 100 years of history, I did a lot of research to finish this video but, even so and, in order to keep this video short, lots of stuff were not mentioned/displayed but you can help others mentioning known stuff I missed in the comments section. I also had to try to keep this copyright-free as much as possible so options had to be made...

Lots of crashes in this amazing but killer track. Mainly in the old layout. I tried to include as much as I can but I had problems with copyright and had to cut some of them in the final version. I had to upload this 4 times...

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it!

Time Machine:

00:00 introduction
01:44 a full lap onboard in the old layout
10:29 complete history of the track
34:18 big crashes

I mentioned in this video the Riverside F1 Track video I made. Instead of inserting its link here, I think it´s more interesting to let you know that it is included in this playlist with more than 20 Onboard videos on old F1 Circuits:
   • Monza Oval Circuit in 1957 - onboard ...  

I also mentioned a 1933 Nuvolari/Ferrari/Maserati story that is not 100% correct and it was rectified in this video (from the playlist Amazing Racing Stories) "The Ferraris that were different" -    • The Ferraris that were... different (...  

Cheers from Portugal!
