Seven kilometres of possibilities – the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is long, fast and built for thrilling overtaking duels. It's also a stress test for the drivers, because the woods will show you what you're made of.
For some, Belgium conjures up images of wooded hills - or chocolate. Supercup fans think of Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars racing up the Eau Rouge at full throttle. Belgium is a country of contrasts, and that includes the weather at the circuit of Spa. It’s been known to rain in the La Source corner while the sun is shining at Les Combes. But one thing is clear: It's a fitting place to kick off the second half of the international pinnacle of the Porsche one-make series as part of the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix.
At just over seven kilometres, the circuit is the longest on the Supercup calendar and is renowned for its challenging layout. The considerable elevation changes, totalling around 100 metres, have led to its nickname: Ardennes Rollercoaster. High speed sections alternate with tricky combinations of corners. This makes the track a favourite with drivers, who can show off their skills with spectacular overtaking manoeuvres.
