Changes @ Spa Francorchamps for Belgian GP

[FourWheelDrift]

They have been hacking the bus-stop chicane around at Spa possibly for this years GP. They haven't got rid of it or made it more sensible, they've......well.....arsed it up a bit more.

No idea how the pit entrance works, it's currently still going through the centre of it (but will of course be moved).

Just watched a video clip of the Proximus 24hours race from last weekend.

They used the new chicane then and the number of cars that missed it out, got it wrong was amazing. The pit entrance is now alongside the bus-stop exit, parallel with it.

There's lots of tarmac run-off at the chicane on the approach so we'll probably see the F1 cars do the same.

You'd have had a job, the 24 hours isn't until the end of this month!

What you might have seen is a Belcar race or one of the supercar tests and track days that they have. But as far as the FIA calendar states, the 24 hour event is the weekend of 31July/1 August.

Sorry, my Belgian is not too good. But if I had looked at the link I would have noticed the words "test day"

Why did they change it?

Also the pit entry doesn't look right.
