Default The old Reims Motor Circuit, and Spa

As part of the Nurburgring trip, we visited the old GP circuit at Reims, France, and on the way back, drove the original parts of the Spa circuit in Belgium.

The grandstand and pit area, where you can drive quite fast up and down, and a certain car











Round back of the grandstands

Julia drives past at some miles per hour


Lap timing boards


Part of the old circuit, no longer a through road



Man in action


Not all is restored yet


And now onto the old Spa circuit, considered too fast in it's day, that the GP drivers refused to drive it. The Spa circuit today incorporates a bit of the old circuit but is much smaller.



The crash barriers give it away





Where the old straight joins the new circuit

Today's GP circuit
