DirectionsSpa – Francorchamps circuit is situated just outside of the village of Francorchamps.
From Calais head north towards Dunkirk. From this point you can either travel via Brussels or Lille. After either Brussels or Lille head towards Liege and follow the E40 round the Liege ring road. Follow the signs towards Verviers and exit at the A27 / E42 towards Verviers and Spa. Exit at junction 10 and follow the N640 towards the village of Francorchamps. At the La Source roundabout take the second exit following the bypass. At the next roundabout turn right and enter the circuit at the Ster entrance.
Vehicles over 2 metres high will need to use the gate at Blanchimont - a 5+ mile detour round the outside of the circuit – following the new by-pass, bearing right at all deviations.

| Venue Opinions | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Raf Vervloessem | - | | 10:09 Tue 24 Mar 09 | Guys, I had a great day in Spa on the 22nd, but in the future you need to manage to keep the pitbox exits (as well in the pitlane as behind on the parking lot) free. I lost at least 30min-1hr of tracktime due to this. | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Chris Fuks |  | Elise S1 111S | 14:41 Fri 14 Nov 08 | The best circuit in the world? Not for me but still good. Takes a while to learn as it's 7 km long.Very nice scenery and height differences, most corners are fast but runoff is variable, also the closeness to barriers in places is not ideal. | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | stephen green |  | bat cat | 21:42 Sat 22 Mar 08 | No other circuit will be quite the same after driving this. Spa is the best track in europe, bar none. A mecca of trackdays, A must do venue for anyone with petrol in their veins. It has everything from elevation changes, slow technical, and high commitment fast corners, with stunning scenery topped off with a tangible historic atmosphere. A true drivers circuit that you really must do at least once in your life. | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Steve Marsh | | Caterham 7 SV | 22:45 Wed 11 Oct 06 | Awesome! If you go off track it is definitely your own fault; even in the wet!

Bloody ... hell .... I grew balls. Quickly. Eu Rouge. OMFG. Best experience of my life. Made the 'Ring seem like an airstrip. | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Jason Greenwood | | Mitsubishi Cyborg, someoneelse's Elise!! | 00:07 Fri 19 Nov 04 | A real track that lets you hang it all out. Not as "big balls" as it was, but an awful lot learned over 2 days! | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Simon Hiscock | | BMW M535 "The Shed" | 23:20 Wed 22 Sep 04 | Wow - fantastic circuit with Eau rouge one of the great challenges anywhere, not something that I think i could tire of.
the rest of the circuit matches it and I would recommend it to anyone. | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Bernard Lambert | | Lotus Exige | 15:17 Mon 9 Aug 04 | Awsome / Great / Wonderfull / Need More / And More / And More... | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Ivo Grijt | | Honda Accord Type R | 13:30 Sun 8 Aug 04 | | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Stuart Faulds | - | | 21:48 Tue 11 Nov 03 | | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Shaun mcvaigh | | Tiger Cat | 19:06 Thu 16 Oct 03 | Two whole days of open pit lane and we still wanted more. What a fantastic circuit!! Everything you could possibly need but,"110mph in the wet up Eau Rouge" I dont think so!!! | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Andy Bridgewater | | Integra Type R | 12:28 Tue 9 Sep 03 | Not bad.......who am I kidding!! This is the ultimate track event. I can't say anymore, as words literally failed me. | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Alan Head | | Toyota MR2 Mk1 NA | 16:32 Thu 27 Feb 03 | If the Nurburgring is "The Green Hell" then this is heaven...
You owe it to yourself and your car to drive this circuit at least once in your life. Simply breathtaking, and going through Eau Rouge is like Craner Curves uphill crossed with Paddock Hill Bend | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Mark Nias | | Toyota MR2 Supercharger | 13:21 Mon 4 Nov 02 | Superb circuit with (IMO) something for everyone. Big gradient changes, tight chicanes, hairpins, medium and fast sweepers and not forgetting Eau Rouge... a truly sensational corner for those with commitment! | | Author | Rating | Driven With | Save Date | | Lauren Blighton | | Modified MK1 MR2 Supercharger | 16:32 Tue 29 Oct 02 | This is hallowed ground and is one of those circuits so steeped in history that it is a must do!
What can I say? It really was a dream come true. It was wet when I was there which in fact made it more fun in a lot of respects and Eau Rouge at 110mph in the wet, wow!! I had a small coronary every lap when the Eau Rouge came into view after La Source.
Simply fantastic and 4.5miles of it too! |
