Circuit map Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium

by Sidney van den Boogaard

Deep in the Ardennes forest, Spa-Francorchamps is a long, rolling ribbon of tarmac where the weather changes from valley to valley. First laid out on public roads in 1921, it still feels wild today. From the tight La Source hairpin the cars plunge downhill, then claw up the wall of Eau Rouge and Raidillon before flying down the Kemmel straight. Later, Pouhon and the flat-out sweep of Blanchimont demand pure courage. Every glance at your wall brings back the scent of wet pine and hot brakes.

This work is part of the Circuit Maps collection: the world's best-known race tracks, each drawn from the real layout and finished in the same calm, graphic style. Along the bottom you'll find the lap length, number of corners, opening year and direction. That makes it easy to combine your favourite circuits as a pair, a triptych or a full gallery wall.

The map was designed digitally. The track is drawn from OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors), checked for length and direction, and finished with a paper texture and a screen-print effect. Sponsor names have been left out on purpose.

A great gift for any racing fan, for the study, the man cave or above the desk.
