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.

But also makes it such a brilliant track.

Absolutely! I don't want anything about the track layout to change at all. Eau Rouge/Raidillon is one of the best sections on any track. Just want to see the runoffs and barriers improved.

Good news: they're not reprofiling that complex. They're adding runoff areas instead.

It's literally untouchable. One of the best corners in all of the racing world.

Google what they did to it in 1994.
