Belgian Formula One Grand Prix 2007 in Spa
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium
| The circuit was conceived in 1921. Its creators, using public roads twisting and turning through the Ardennes hills, produced a truly majestic 13 km road course which was both respected and feared by all who drove on it. The track was redeveloped in 1983 and although the new circuit in only half its original length, it retains much of its previous character and charm. Considered by many to be the best circuit on the F1 calendar, Spa has the longest lap length of all, and is certainly one of the most scenically situated, surrounded by wooded hillsides and small farms. It is also renowned for its changeable weather. Despite using public roads for half its length, Spa is used most weekends and on many weekdays for practice and testing. In 2005 the race returned to the rainy Ardennes and it was indeed a spectacle. The race was won by Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher won the World Championship for the 7th time. Make sure you will be here to watch all the action in 2007! |
