The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is the famous venue of the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix and the Spa 24 Hours endurance race. It is also home to the longest continuous motor race in the world: the 25 Hours of Spa, run by the Uniroyal Fun Cup. It is considered to be one of the most challenging race tracks in the world, mainly due to its fast, hilly and twisty nature. The circuit features one of the most famous and dangerous sections of any racing track in the world, the Eau Rouge complex. Spa is a favourite circuit of many racing drivers and fans.
The Masta Kink was one of the most fearsome sections on any race track in the world, requiring skill and bravery in equal measure to get it right. After a long run from Malmedy, the cars would reach top speed before having to negotiate Masta, a high speed left-right chicane, and a good exit speed was vital as it is followed by another long straight run to Stavelot.
That Masta was lost to F1 racing after the 1970 race was partly its own fault. Jackie Stewart’s crusade to improve safety in racing was set in motion by his crash there in 1966, when his BRM ended upsidedown in the cellar of the farmhouse on the outside of the corner, with fuel gushing out of the tank onto Stewart, who had broken ribs to add to his misery.
Another particularly gruesome story comes from the 1973 24 hour sportscar race during which three drivers were killed. During one of his pitstops at night, Hans-Joachim Stuck shouted to his co-driver Jochen Mass over the noise that he should “look out for body parts at the Masta Kink”. Mass arrived there expecting to see bits of car all over the road but was appalled to discover it was in fact bits of a marshal.
After Masta, and at the end of the subsequent Holowell Sratight, used to be a sharp turn at the entrance to the city itself, which was later bypassed by a quicker, banked right hand corner. Another fast section of road in the forest leads to Blanchimont. Here, the new short Grand Prix track of 1979 joins the old layout.
18 Formula 1 World Championship Grands Prix were run on the Spa-Francorchamps circuit’s original configuration, which was boycotted by F1 in 1968, before the revised circuit banished it to the history books in the late-70s. The fasted lap record on the old triangle shaped track is held by the French driver Henri Pescarolo, at an average speed of 262 km/h.
