Eau Rouge - the most famous corner in the world

The most famous corner in the world is Eau Rouge. There is no other corner that is as challenging and scary on any other race track. Period. If you have the guts and master it, the reward is extreme satisfaction and ridiculously fast exit speed into the uphill straight that follows. The corner is after the main straight on what many think is the best track in the world - Spa-Francorchamps.

Spa-Francorchamps

No other track in the world has the same history as Spa-Francorchamps. Built as early as 1921 - six years prior to the Nurburgring - it was originally using public roads between the Belgian towns of Francorchamps, Malmedy and Stavelot. It is located in the mountains of the Ardennes, hence the steep up- and downhill sections.

Spa-Francorchamps is a high speed circuit. Probably the fastest in the world. Some of the high speed sections like for example the rivage –les fagnes section will bring chills down your spine and separate the men from the boys.

The high average speeds on the track have made it very popular in the racing community, especially among formula one drivers. Many say that it is similar in excitement as driving on the Nurburgring, but much safer since it is easy to learn and has run-off areas that are hundreds of meters, instead of one meter of slippery grass and certain severe damage of your car as on the Nurburgring.

The track is long, seven kilometres, and has 21 turns. With only 80 cars admitted to the event you will have a good opportunity to both learn the track with our instructors and set a good laptime at the end of the day. A fairly good driver can learn the basics of the track in a few hours.

Hotel Verviers

Located in the nearby city of Verviers, this newly built 4-star hotel is one of the best places for accomodation in the region. It is modern, stylish and only 15 minutes driving to the track.

World-class instruction

Ron Simons and his team of instructors will provide us with first class instruction on the track. Ron and his crew has many years of experience both from racing and instruction on Spa Francorchamps.
