The official Spa GP website sez:
The race was completely redesigned in 1979 to correspond to the safety standards of the world’s other great automobiles races, in particular, the Formula One. The present track is 6.973 km long.
The track is highly technical, alternating between straight lines and rapid curves. Due to its high-speed winding turns, very slow loop (La Source), and famous « Raidillon » (Eau Rouge), this track offers sensations unknown on other tracks, to both drivers and spectators.
