Spa-Francorchamps Show How Changes To Eau Rouge Are Coming Along

The conversation virtually the barriers and run-off at Eau Rouge and Raidillon at Spa-Francorchamps has been a popular talking point over the last few years. It might be home to one of the most iconic sequences of corners in motorsport, but the safety of the spin has been tabbed into question without a series of large accidents.

With Spa-Francorchamps soon to be host to motorcycle racing again, changes needed to be made virtually the spin that hosts the likes of F1 and the World Endurance Championship.

One big transpiration is to Eau Rouge and Raidillon, which is unchangingly incredibly fast as drivers climb the steep incline. Increasingly run-off has been given virtually both corners, with increasingly tarmac stuff placed lanugo to help make it safer in the event of an incident.

As well as modifications on and virtually the circuit, towers works have been going on slantingly the track, such as increasingly grandstands for fans and spectators. One such grandstand that is scheduled to be finished by April can host over 4,500 people, but it did midpoint the iconic Raidillon chalet was demolished in the process!

In wing to the changes at Eau Rouge, other parts of the circuit, such as La Source at Turn 1, Bruxelles and Blanchimont, are all having a facelift ready for velocipede racing.
