Often described as one of the finest circuits in the world, Spa-Francorchamps will host the second round of the ILMC on the 7th May ... An event not to be missed!
Within the gereal spectator area of Spa (see map) you can take a walk around the track, punctuated by great opportunities for amateur photographers.
In case of rain, the free grandstand opposite the pits will be welcomed. Near the track and well oriented, it is ideally situated to watch the start.
If you do take the 7 km treak around the circuit, start your walk with a visit to the outside of the track to experience the famous Raidillon hill up to Eau Rouge ... Even more impressive in real life than on TV!
After the long straight and sequence of Combes, you must take the tunnel under the circuit to admire the view on the downhill section leading to Pouhon. Spectacle is guaranteed inside Brussels, where the wheel locks, outbraking and other detours are legion.
The tour continues in the fast section from Blanchimont to Stavelot, and ends at the Chicane and another braking zone conducive to overtaking. Here, it is time to retore your strength with a Belgian sandwich!
