Steven Stones - Spa Francorchamps

 

To me, there is no greater Grand Prix racing circuit than Spa Francorchamps. There are many amazing tracks around the globe but I have had to go for Spa, and in the end it is an easy decision. For my money, there have been few other circuits that have thrown up as much controversy, as much excitement, and as much pure racing as this track.

 

Spa is situated in the Ardennes Forest in Belgium and throws up all manner of odd weather formations. Rain is a certainty at almost any race meeting at some stage of the weekend, and the unpredictability of the rain and the time frame for its arrival or end makes for some added tension for the teams.

 

Spa's weather system is so unique that the teams simply cannot rely on data. They have that added pressure like no other circuit even in the wet can provide. As we all know, rain or changeable conditions provides some spicy racing.
