The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is one of the most iconic racetracks in the world, hosting a variety of prestigious motorsport events, including Formula 1 and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Located in the scenic Ardennes region of Belgium, Spa is famous for its fast, flowing layout, dramatic elevation changes, and unpredictable weather, making it a favourite among drivers and fans alike.
At 7.004 km (4.352 miles) in length, the circuit is one of the longest on the calendar, featuring 19 challenging corners that test the skill of drivers and the precision of cars. The track’s steep elevation changes create unique challenges, with approximately 100 metres of altitude variation throughout the lap. Among its most iconic sections is the legendary Eau Rouge and Raidillon complex, where cars ascend through a sharp left-right-left combination at full throttle, an awe-inspiring spectacle in endurance racing. La Source, the tight hairpin at the beginning of the lap, offers a prime overtaking opportunity, while Blanchimont and Pouhon demand both speed and precision, especially during multi-class racing in WEC.
The FIA WEC races at Spa as part of its annual championship, with the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps serving as a key event in the lead-up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The endurance nature of the race, combined with the circuit’s fast straights and technical corners, makes it a true test for both drivers and teams. With various car classes competing simultaneously, traffic management and strategy play an essential role in endurance racing here, adding an additional layer of excitement.
Spa is renowned for its variable weather conditions, which can shift from bright sunshine to rain in different parts of the circuit within a single lap. This unpredictability often leads to thrilling races where tyre choices and strategy are critical. For spectators, Spa offers excellent views of the track from natural vantage points, particularly around Eau Rouge and the Kemmel Straight, where overtaking is frequent. The surrounding Ardennes Forest enhances the unique atmosphere, making the circuit a must-visit for fans of endurance racing.
