Previously, still at the height of the Eau Rouge-Raidillon curves, the historic chalet located at the highest point of the stretch had been demolished. An intervention designed to allow the extension of the escape route at that point, exactly as is happening in other curves such as Blanchimont, Les Combes and Malmedy. All this with the main aim of making the entire track safer for the drivers, who have caused serious accidents – even in the recent past. With this noble intent, which is the absolute priority, the organizers will have all the necessary conditions to allow the return of an event such as the 24 Hours of Spa in the world endurance motorcycle. The appointment with the Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix is instead scheduled for the weekend between 26 and 28 August 2022, when the 14th round of the world championship will be held.
