2025 Belgian Grand Prix
The Spa-Francorchamps hosts the Belgian Grand Prix. Originally built in 1921, the track underwent development in 1979 where the lap was reduced by over half its length. Despite this, this is still the longest lap on the current F1 calendar.
The Belgian Grand Prix did move around before redevelopment but has been held at Spa-Francorchamps since 1985 except in 2003 & 2006 when there was no Belgian Grand Prix.
Spa is always a favourite for both fans and drivers. The mixture of fast corners and long straights allows drivers to push their cars to the max, and because of the size of the track, it can rain on one section and not another!
How long is the Belgian Grand Prix?
A lap of the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa is just over 7 km (4.35 miles) and drivers have to complete 74 laps for a total distance of 308 km (191 miles).
When F1 fans speak of Spa, the name 'Eau Rouge' will always pop up as this thrilling sequence of corners is one of the best in the world. The left is followed by a right which leads up the hill through Raidillon.
