The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is one of the world's most famous but deadliest race tracks. Since 1922, the legendary Belgian road course has been the ultimate test for racers, having claimed the lives of almost 50 competitors. Its notorious high-speed Eau Rouge corner remains one of the most dangerous challenges in motorsports. Sébastien Buemi, four-time winner of the 6 Hours of Spa, takes us turn by turn through the track to show us just what makes Spa so dangerous.

@angelrobles7201 4 года назад

Nice!! Just one thing bugs me, some "unnamed" turn do have a name: The right-hand, off-camber hairpin is Bruxelles, Rivage is the left-hander that follows. The chicane after Pouhon is Fagnes, turn 15 is Paul Frère (Belgian driver of old times), and the last chicane is the Bus Stop (there was a bus stop-like chicane, but it was stripped of its essence by Hermann Tilke... yet the new chicane kept the name). Why this matters? I'm of the belief that a named corner makes more appeal for the fans, and adds some character (i.e.: what's better for the long, ever-lasting turn of Istanbul: "Turn 8" or "Diabolica"?)

At 0:30 I was happy when Sébastien Buemi speak about the Raidillon instead of Eau Rouge… But when he talk about top of Eau Rouge at 2:00 he dissapoints me. For those who don’t know, Eau Rouge is the name of the pre-1939 left-hander to l’Ancienne Douane. The name of the steep corner is Raidillon. Raidillon comes from the French word for steep, raide. Raidillon actually means steep path or steep road. Because of missinformation by lazy reporters even the drivers now think the name of the steep corner is Eau Rouge.

@frankdaelemans4488 3 года назад

You are correct. The name of eau rouge still sticks because there is actually a small river of that name running underneath it (eau rouge = red water)
