You have been waiting for it for a long time.
Now we are proud to announce that the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps will be available in R3E this week!

The 7 km long track is located in the Belgian Ardennes countryside, where it used to serve as public road.

Over the years it has hosted many Racing Series including F1, WEC, Blancpain Endurance Series, GT Masters, WTCC & DTM. The annual Highlights being the 1000km and the 24H Race.

It features the most famous corner in Motorsport. The "Eau Rouge", which translates to "Red Water", named after a river close to the circuit.

The circuit probably demonstrates the importance of driver skill more than any other in the world.

This is largely due to the Eau Rouge and Blanchimont corners, both which need to be taken flat out to achieve a fast run onto the straights after them.

It is one of the most challenging race tracks in the world, mainly due to its fast, hilly and twisty nature.

Inside the track itself a Gokart facility can be found.

The Bus Stop Chicane has gone under a lot of changes. The most recent one dates back to 2007.



Check out this video of a WIP Version of the track.
NOTE: Many small changes and improvements have been made since!
