Spa-Francorchamps: is a fascinating script that delves into the thrilling history of one of the most iconic tracks in the world of motorsport. From its inception in 1920 by three visionaries - Joseph de Crawhez, Jules De Thier, and Henri Langlois van Ophen - to the present day, the circuit has witnessed unforgettable moments, daring challenges, and impactful tragedies.
Over the years, Spa-Francorchamps has undergone various transformations to adapt to the increasing speed of cars and the safety standards of Formula 1. With its fast corners, including the legendary Eau Rouge and the famous Raidillon, and its majestic natural scenery of pine forests, the track has always tested the courage of fearless drivers.
However, with the rise in speed and the lack of safety measures, Spa became one of the most dangerous circuits in the world. Several drivers lost their lives on the track, and the tragedy of 1960, with the deaths of Chris Bristow and Alan Stacey, prompted drivers to rally for improved safety at the circuit.
Following a drivers' boycott in 1969, Spa-Francorchamps was removed from the Formula 1 calendar in 1970 for failing to meet safety standards. However, in 1983, the track returned triumphantly, shorter and safer, while still preserving its essence and majesty. Since then, the biggest names in international motorsport have challenged themselves here, solidifying Spa-Francorchamps as a true gem of the motorsport world.
Today, Spa-Francorchamps is more than just a racing track. It is a hub of tourist and sports attractions, hosting the Belgian Grand Prix, a round of the World Endurance Championship, and the 24 Hours of Spa, along with a variety of activities, national and international races, trials, tours, and incentives, keeping the track active for 220 days per year.
