Spa-Francorchamps – the legendary Formula 1 circuit in the Ardennes

The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in the Belgian municipality of Stavelot has been one of the world's most storied racetracks since 1921 and is the home of the Belgian Grand Prix. Set among the hills of the Ardennes, the circuit is known as the “Ardennes Rollercoaster” and is regarded by drivers and fans alike as one of the most beautiful and demanding tracks on the Formula 1 calendar.

Key facts

At around 7.004 kilometres, Spa-Francorchamps is the longest circuit on the current Formula 1 calendar. It opened in 1921 and was last extensively modernised in 2022, when the run-off areas at the famous Eau Rouge/Raidillon complex were expanded and several corners were fitted with gravel traps. Address: Route du Circuit 55, 4970 Francorchamps.

Design and layout

Spa combines high-speed sections with dramatic elevation changes. Its centrepiece is the Eau Rouge and Raidillon combination – a steep uphill left-right-left sequence that ranks among the most famous corners in motorsport. It is followed by the long Kemmel straight with excellent overtaking chances, plus classics such as the La Source hairpin, the fast Pouhon and Blanchimont. The Ardennes microclimate is notorious, too: it can rain at one end of the track while the other stays dry.

Significance for Formula 1

Spa-Francorchamps has been writing legendary racing stories since the earliest days of motorsport. Beyond Formula 1, the circuit hosts the 24 Hours of Spa and the World Endurance Championship (WEC). This deep-rooted racing tradition and unique atmosphere make the Belgian Grand Prix a season highlight for many fans.

You can arrive by car, shuttle bus or train (to Verviers or Spa and onward by shuttle). The scenic region also invites hiking and wellness stays.
