- 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.

Why This Belgian Race Track Is So Dangerous | Turn By Turn
RIP Anthonie Hubert. See you on the other side.
There's no other side.
ya the other side of radillion im so sorry
@@Stellar-Cowboy you have no proof sorry
Henry Touthang neither do you
@@broL0L neither do you. At least I didn't claim there is another side
Anyone else remember when Sebastian's wheels just fell off with red bull F1 back in the day? Lol. Good times.
Toro Rosso*
He was still trying to turn the car with no front wheels.
@Hallison Michel Right but it's still a different team
@Hallison Michel Yes, Toro Rosso..
Nico Rosberg F1 Fan yeah
This guy (Sebastian Buemi) drives for multiple teams/manufacturers at the same time.
F1 test driver - Red Bull Racing Honda
WEC - Toyota Gazoo Racing
Formula E - Nissan e.dams
He's taken over as Toyota Gazoo's lead driver now that Alonso has returned to F1. They won Spa 6h.
@@rumblefish9 Alonso wasn't really the main driver in the team as it was his first season and the other drivers were a lot more experienced than him in those cars
@@maxb148 His times and performance says otherwise. Gazoo still uses his times at LeMans as their benchmark and Alonso's excellent night driving at LeMans 2018 or 2019 whittled down the deficit from a penalty Buemi incurred earlier in the day.
Why did Toyota name their racing thing gazoo?
Sébastien Buemi
I’m Loosing Power
I’m Loosing Power
I can’t Keep Going ITS BROKEN
ITS BROKEN!!!
ANTI-STALL!!
It’s off.
Metrofilmer88 you forgot F*** at the end :)
Bwoken*
Ok keepgoing
Landooooooo
"Nooooooooo"
2:28 I’ve never seen a track map from that angle, that’s really cool
F1 does a good job showing elevation on their broadcasts before the race when they do a little rundown of the track, you never notice just how much elevation is in almost every track unless you see these things
That angle also got it totally wrong
@@flare2000x yeah, the kemmel straight incline is much more shallow.. it's somehow even more inclined than eau rouge/raidillon...
FINALLY, A LEGENDARY TRACK..!
I believe they did a video on Indianapolis motor speedway...
SSG Sscorch hey funny joke man😀
SSG Sscorch can’t even compare these two tracks
@@PeRRXX They are both extremely iconic
*ahem* nordschleife
Drive safely pls
Belgium: haha race track go brrrr
lol ur name tho
Spa: haha elevation changes go whoosh
FIA: haha eau rouge sausage kerbs make car go wheeeee
Germany: haha toll road go brrrr
@@randelldoesstuff þ
The things that make spa eligible for f1 or any high profile race is its legendary status. If a new track has the dangerous characteristics of spa it wouldn't make it to f1
Facts
Also, the length limit of new F1 tracks is 7km and Spa is 7.004km so it breaks more than 1 rule
The 5th King its less with a racing line
Barkin Sahin they don’t measure tracks by racing lines
PeRRXX i know that
These are great. Get one of the Supercars drivers to explain Bathurst. Legendary place.
One of the best tracks in the world, love it!
Jeremy Rogers good idea
This is my fav track in any motorsport and that very track took away a good friend of motorsport. R.I.P Anthoine Hubert
I have raced in this track!
In Real Racing 3
Same here
Hahahaha same, racing with 919 tribute around there is spectacular! My best time is 1:24.543 and the record is 1:18, not bad for me!
In Forza
Rr3 is easy, it’s not realistic at all. Try gran turismo
lmao same
This was the first track I memorised every nook and cranny of. It's a pretty easy track to remember. Flows in a pretty natural way and it's easy to transition into the corners. But what do I know about real life, I don't even have the money to race a rc car let alone an actual car.
Track looks like an UZI😂
Yeah mate I always thought so
another one
I was thinking a glue gun
The track kills and is shaped like a killing machine.
I would love to one day attend an F1 race at Spa-Francorchamps. Its a legendary track
Years ago it was taken off the calendar as it was considered too dangerous.
It took quite some work to be certified for racing again.
Sadly such work could not be done on the Nordschleife.
I hope you didn't this year
Spa and bathurst are my favourite sim tracks. very challenging and also very fast. Race drivers are so lucky they get to experience these in real life.
Growing up in Belgium with a petrolhead as a dad is awesome. My first car memory is going through eau-Rouge in the passenger seat of a fiat X1/9, it's one of the happiest moments of my life!
@Sarosh Mistry you can't walk on the track itself but you can go around quite easily, but I don't think you can go there when it's not opened. But when we went to watch a race we would always walk around so we could see more of the track. But it's 7 kilometers long and there is quite a bit of elevation so you need good shoes
@Sarosh Mistry it was on a track day so it was open for cars
@Sarosh Mistry when we went there it was Spa Italia so only Italian cars were allowed but on other track days I think every car can go
He did'nt mean that exit-curb at Radillion. He ment the one before!
Raidillon*
Finally, I can understand my fav track
Isle of Man TT, Silverstone, Mount Panorama, Sonoma, Virginia International Raceway, Sebring, Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca, Nurburgring, Surfer's Paradise, Goodwood Hillclimb or Circuit, Pikes Peak, Oulton Park. That'll last you a while ;)
1:40 that car flew in the freaking air!!!
Look for the Mercedes CLK GTR crash at Le Mans
@@juanin200 3 times they flipped
Future track suggestions: Snaefell Mountain (IoM TT course) with John McGuiness, Donnington Park with Kevin Schwantz (make sure he tells you how Schwantz Curve got it's name 😉)
Wow was not expecting a F1 themed video to come out!
It's not F1 themed lmao
Its WEC
@@midnmusic2217 at 6:00 Fernando Alonso in the middle.
@@rumblefish9 while he was driving in WEC. Not F1
MidN Music There’s F1 footage and the Ferrari SF1000 so it kinda counts. Also, the circuit is used by multiple motorsports.
I've run so many laps of Spa on my computer, not simulator level unfortunately, and I knew there was quite an elevation change but I didn't realize how much until that graphic looking from the side. Thanks for a great video.
1:40
An Aircar doesn't exis-
They should added the crash footage from online racing so the general people can know how crazy the circuit is. Its frustate me very much when i even cant survive the first corner because the people behind me driving like he dont have a brake.. Just like Nico Hulkenberg have done in Belgium GP in 2018
Fun fact: Turn 9 has no name and it’s recently getting popular with the name “The No Name Corner”
RIP ANTHOINE HUBERT
Ah yes, Spa, glad that Lando is okay
2:04 "Uhm, that's radillon actually"
Probably my favourite race track
This track makes me proud to be Belgian.
The animation in this video is really well done. Bravo 👏
Such a beautiful track!! My favorite.
I like how he said Blanchimont isn't a corner for them anymore and there was just a massive WEC crash there in LMP2.
Well crashes even happen on straights. The crash didn't happen because the curve is that hard, they still go flat out there.
@@Maenfy fair enough.
100% my favorite track.
Eeeej wie is er hier van België gaste?? 🙋♀️
These racing videos are the best
loving the content, more f1 please!!!
who’s here after lando’s crash at qualifying
Great video.
at 6:00 Fernando Alonso in the middle. Thumbnail is Alonso's car at 2018 Belgian GP
Next up please:
1. Monaco F1 race track.
2. Suzuka F1 race track.
3. Nurburgring F1 track.
Top Of Eaurouge the left side just needs to be moved something like 5-10meters back and at the top gravel traps. on the roght theres also the option of saferbarriers so the car doesnt get spit out like now but slides along the wall
Most beautifull track in the world.
1:40 ohhh my freaking God! 😨😨😨
Track itself looks like an mp7
should i think of it as another source of danger?
When a F1 race in Spa Francorchamps was my mom was there
Grosjean’s masterpiece at the 2012 Belgian Grand Prix 😂
He still owes Fernando Alonso a 3rd title. If he hadn't taken out Alonso, Fernando would have won that year.
At this pace they’ll be doing laguna seca and Mount panorama soon... hopefully
Spa remains my favorite circuit
Buemi should do F1 virtual laps commentary.
Spa is basically the Romain Grosjean of circuits.
Please do road America
Very cool video
1:40 plus 200 points for front flip stunt!
2:03 Thats Radion atcually
Turn 8... is it Bruxelles, is it Rivage or is it the 'understeering corner' ?
I think Bruxells is the off-camber right-hand hairpin, and Rivage is the left-hander that follows
Great track!
The track also has the shape of an MP5
Nobody can own SPA, rip the dead.
Its the essense of racing. No space at some points, no sight at others as a german its by far the best circuit of the season
Thanks seb👍🏻
Who's here after belgiumGP 2021?
So the people who make these are pretty much like “how would be the easiest way to kill them all?”
Idk if you’re joking, but even back in the day they probably only cared about making a track challenging, though some tracks seem to be dangerous on purpose (ie. Isle of Man TT, as well as pretty much any rally stage).
1:40 what was the race?
my favourite track
Eau Rouge is the best part of Spa coz of the F1 drivers side by side like Webber and Alonso and Perez and Gasly but still dangerous like the crash of Norris coming up the hill
My fav track ever😘🥰
Imola next!
Anthoine 💗
Who came here after Lando's crash?
Hi i can see you looking at the c comment section cuz
Im right behind yoouuuu...☻
if you overcook it at blanchimont does it turn into boilimont?
"OK, well that doesn't seem too difficult, just make sure you take a good line in and out the curves..." Now try it after having raced 20 laps, with a car infront, behind and next to you all trying to beat you! 😁
0.00 that track is in the game real racing 3
gotta love his accent
Nice
Turns 18 & and 19 are reffered to as "the bus stop" am I right?
Bus stop chicane, yes
Oh that poor GT
It seems that the ultimate race car is one that can take all corner flat out.
I feel like the king of spa (Kimi Raikkonen) should have done this video lol
Nah Monaco seems more menacing, spa is as dangerous as it is sensational,loved it...on my simulator, but i always seem to go off track on a small gravel trap at the exit of 14/15
Excelente! Abraço
Suzuka please, then Silverstone and Monza. It is simply a need for speed.
At 1:39 jeez
I don't want to be that guy but no F1 car has ever even dreamed of going 240 mph.
It's radillon actually...
I Love Spa
Spa is dangerous, yes, but racing there's always been a joy for the drivers (?) and the fans, cos the racing there never disappoints (don't count 2021 guys, we dont have a race for this season)
Imagine the OG spa
It's raddillion actually
The best race track.
IT'S NOT SOOOO DANGEROUS, It's only dangerous enough.
Eau rouge is the best part of the track though no cap
Wrong track map, has the old bus stop chicane
Well spotted
raidillon or radillon?
Do Sepang in Malaysia
Rip Hubert
They called eau rouge and
the same corner
8
Dude aue Roush is not the exit radillion is
