Spa is an amazing track.
I was fortunate enough last year to go to a Track Day at Spa.
The views on TV do not do it justice.
Elevation changes and crazy corners galore.

Then of course there is Eau Rouge!
Such a thrill at 200 km/hr.

Every driving enthusiast should add Spa to their bucket list.

Stoffel Vandoorne's grid penalty for his home race in Belgium has increased to 40 places, after McLaren changed the gearbox in his car.

Dude that's like two whole race grids!

Great fun to watch, even bigger fun to drive.

And then there’s the Nordschleife...

TV does not do justice to all the Elevation changes at Spa.

Chose,
Love your heads up on F1.
Used to watch whilst camping at Watkins Glen. Fantastic! But please include the timing and media channel with your heads up. Need time to buy popcorn and beer!
Thanks
