The Belgian Formula One Grand Prix

Built in 1921, the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the Belgian province of Liège is home to one of the most popular races in the Formula One calendar. One of the main reasons for its prestige has to be the location. “Spa-Francorchamps really is an exceptional setting for watching a race.With forests surrounding the track, it’s an area of natural beauty,” explains Vanessa Maes, marketing manager for the Belgian Grand Prix. It is thanks to these natural stunning surroundings that the Belgian Grand Prix is up there with the most renowned Formula One events. “Monza, Monaco, Silverstone and Spa-Francor-champs, those are the legendary circuits,”adds Maes.
