The old Reims Motor Circuit, and Spa

[SUBARMAN]

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

Part of the old circuit, no longer a through road

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

Thanks Chaps!! Reims in particular is a cracking place for photos!

And the atmosphere at Spa is amazing. Those roads remain pretty much as they were raced on. Very high speeds and roadside trees do not mix well!!
