The most beautiful racing circuit in the world is Francorchamps, near

the town of Spa in Eastern Belgium, a few miles from the German

border.

The circuit nestles in a splendid natural setting of hills, valleys and

forests and is universally appreciated by the top champions for its

exclusiveness and the strategic and human challenges that have to be

met in order to gain victory.

Before 1920, date of the official creation of the circuit, the roads

crossing the triangular region of Spa-Francorchamps-Stavelot were

already host to car and motorcycle racing.

Since then, a vast number of competitions have taken place there

covering all sorts of different categories: Formula 1, Grand Touring,

24 Hours, international rallies, motorcycle racing and so on.

In 2007 Francorchamps updated its infrastructures to equal those of the

most modern circuits and is now well on the road to a bright future.
