They've knocked down the open stands on the run down to Eau Rouge, probably to do with the rally cross deal they've done, hope they don't mess the place up

What's the rallycross deal ,have they taken the Belgian round away from Circuit Jules Tacheny ,Mettet ?

I've been to that event 3 years in a row but World RX might be in a mini crisis right now as both Audi and Peugeot have

pulled either support or complete participation from it for 2019.

Sorry ,this was more about WRX than Spa and I'd already decided not to go to any WRX events next year.

Oh dear this might not be going to go down well, quite how they are going to find anywhere to put shale and use part of Eau Rouge is beyond me.

WRX is dying as a sport at the moment so I hope this investment is costed properly as IMG have a history of selling WRX to venues that run it once or twice, lose a stack of money and move on, they are merciless salesmen selling a sport that is nothing like what it could be.

Have they done away with the old pits as well?
