    I visited the Spa Classic last Saturday and I took a few pics, wel about 800 or so :) Anyway,
    it was an amazing event. With Classic Endurance Racing, Group C, Historic Formula 2, etc ...

    I managed to visit the garages where they were preparing some historic F2 cars, while some were idling ! The sound, the smell ! A feast for all senses.

    Wow, these are amazing.

    Is it still possible to drive around the full circuit? I think I saw a small segment of Martin Brundell doing it, but I'm sure the entry from the modern F1 circuit is now blocked off?

    Thanx zenrael !

    Yes it is a closed circuit since 2000. It used to be part public road before that.
    It's truly an amazing place, you can feel the history. Well especially on this Spa Classic event ofc ;)
    It doesn't look that way on tv but when standing below Raidillon (Eau Rouge corner), it is STEEP !

    Going back tomoro btw to watch the Formula Renault 3.5 !


    heh, thought this was kinda funny, I knew I remembered this building from somewhere
