Worth knowing
Watch for
Cars sweep up through Eau Rouge and Raidillon, then run flat out along the Kemmel Straight to Les Combes. That braking zone is the main chance to pass.
The weather
The lap is so long that it can rain on one part while another stays dry, so grip can change from corner to corner.
The old track
At 7.004 km this is the longest lap on the calendar, yet the original 1920s layout was about twice as long.
