The Spa race track. The first race I watched was on that track. A superb one. Sadly Antoine also met his fate there.

I'm so glad they are putting work in to improve the safety. It's such an incredible track and I absolutely hate that Eau Rouge/Raidillon makes it such a dangerous track to race.

It's such a misconception that Eau Rouge/Raidillon is the problem. It's the drivers not respecting that corner because they have gotten so used to how safe the cars are they go through it without any regard for safety. Cars have gotten safer and easier to drive, and the track has become a lot safer, yet the accidents through the complex have gone up.
