That's excellent news. Spa regularly produces thrilling Grands Prix so it thoroughly deserves to remain on the calendar. And in an age when F1 is increasing its presence in the East, it's heartening to know that classic tracks steeped in tradition aren't losing out.

Hopefully part of the deal is not to Tilkise the track further.

I wonder how much Berne raised his ransom/licensing fees as a condition for the extension.

My enthusiasm for Spa has been erroded over the years after all the changes they made to the track, massive run offs, changes to the bus stop/La Source.
Still a good track, but not the classic it used to be. |

Great news.
Spa isn't quite the track it used to be, but it's still vastly superior to most others.

Still a great track to retain on the calendar.
I hope one day to take some Miracle Gro to spread around the edges of Pouhon and Eau Rouge though, the run-off daftness must stop. |
