SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS CHALLENGES FOR DTM STARS
La Source, Eau Rouge, Raidillon, Blanchimont – these are all parts of the Belgian Grand Prix circuit of Spa-Francorchamps that instill respect and a certain awe in every racing driver. They are not just famous, they are a real challenge for man and machine first and foremost. When DTM is staging the sixth round of its season in Belgium this weekend (9-11 September), the DTM stars are under pressure, too. Spa-Francorchamps is a circuit at which driving abilities and a healthy dose of courage count more than at most other race tracks. At 7.004 kilometres, the Ardennes roller coaster is also the longest track on the DTM calendar on which no other circuit has a difference in altitude of one hundred metres either.
