I did this yesterday with my car. I turned back 4 times to take the Stavelot-corner, i wanted to go again and again like a little kid. A strange but wonderful feeling.

RIP Lucien, who was mostly a Le Mans driver, where he won 3 times but died in a practice crash in 1969. He was doing what he loved.

An entire lap of Spa in a DB4 - just fantastic! The real pity is he didn't do a second lap so you could feel Eau Rouge, one of the most amazing curves in auto racing, at full clip.

I think that the new Spa track begins just before the sweeping corner (0:46) on the Kemmel straight. There was a lot of cut and fill needed to create the new circuit because it would have turned right into that valley. There was also a lot of fill dirt needed to create the new attachment at Blanchemont corner because it was also a valley. Id love to find a before and after aerial photograph of the new circuit overlayed on the old landscape.

@@epistte Well basically the old circuit continues straight on down the road where the current Les Combes chicane takes sharply to right. The Kemmel curves were straightened to become the straight but as those curves were quite slight, the route was still close to where the straight lies today.

The road hadn't been closed for the race. Spa-Francorchamps was still public roads at that time. Most of the circuit was still open to the public drivers until 1990, except for the race weekends.
