Home of the Belgium GP and the awe inspiring Eau Rouge. An absolute beast of a turn requiring balls of steel and Jedi like faith. Then there's Pouhon, a 100mph 180deg left hand oil starvation engine killer! This circuit is a real must!
Days here are usually run with other clubs (autotrack, Easytrack etc) but they normally share our track equity so not really a problem. However, you'll probably be out on track with a whole mix of different machinery, so bear this in mind when it comes to braking distances and final speeds on the straights.
Facilities on site good but give the little cafe on the side of the road between Francorchamps and the circuit a try. Portions are huge and more reasonably priced.
The circuit is 213 miles of motorway driving from Calais.
Nurburgring
The 'ring' is 65 miles West from Francorchamps.
Closest Fuel Station
There are a two petrol stations in Francorchamps. One on the right as you approach the circuit, which is an automatic payment affair. Another about 200 yards down the N622 road towards Stavelot (where the road forks). Much more welcoming where you pay the old lady through her kitchen window.
Accommodation in the Area
Francorchamps is a small village located right on the doorstep of the circuit. The hotel of choice is Hostellerie Le Roannay, situated on the left as you drive into the village. Rather expensive but provides good off street parking. Another is the Moderne, situated on the right where the road forks, but parking is very limited and you usually have to resort to the street (not really a problem). Failing that there are loads in Spa only 5 miles away.
Alternatively try the Hotel La Forge in Malmedy less than 10 mins from circuit, or Bungalowpark Domaine De Chôdes. This is a centre parks style site. They have 2 person studios, 4 person apartments or 6 person bungalows. Although the accomodation is basic, facilities are good with a bar on site. Obviously you can be self sufficient - great if theres a group of you going and still less than 15 mins from circuit.
