Re: 2017 Belgian F1 Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps
otisdog:Adam R:The best track on the calendar!
Maybe the best track in the world?
I've only driven 3 tracks outside of the U.S., but to me Spa is the best....the location, the track and it's history, very hard to beat.
Spa is great, but Nordschliefe is far greater, imo.

Wow - didn't realize he was a racer. Michael always loved Spa...

He has been doing karting and now he is racing in the F3 championship .
Also , he lives close to Nicola Prost , Alain Prost's son . Maybe they are all in contact . It' s a small world around here .

xander71:This is kimi s track...hope to see him win....what a track....one of the coolest to drive in....
+1.. certainly my favourite GP track by a mile. The 'ring is a different animal, and I at least leave a bit of a safety margin there. At Spa I can be a bit more committed.

Re: 2017 Belgian F1 Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps
My preferred tracks to drive on :
1) .... ( I have never done Spa yet 
)
2) Mugello
3 ) Imola , but very close to Mugello
4) Paul Richard together with Dijon
And then you also have to take the context into the appreciation, which can make a big difference .
But the best driving experience and pleasure is by far : The RING !
The worst to drive on :
1) Nürburgring F1 track
2) Hockenheim

Re: 2017 Belgian F1 Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps
Glad to see Ferrari being able to keep up with the Mercs...
Alonso so angry with his car it almost became comical.
Verstappen....real pity in front of 'home' crowd.
Force India...they really need to do something...maybe those 2 go to Vegas and fight it off on the ring? :-)

Re: 2017 Belgian F1 Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps
Will drive Spa 4th and 5th of October. Hopefully the new engine can hold together this year. But guess I'll need to order a fuel truck full of oil to be able to keep up with the new engines oil consumption.
Really love Spa, but don't really agree with Gnil, since I think Hockenheim is quit fun however not close to Spa ( even if a spun a cup car there this year....
)
