The Gold 3 grandstand has a makeover! This new permanent tribune will offer you a breathtaking and unobstructed view from the exit of the Source to the top of the Raidillon.
Eau Rouge is a stream which runs under the little bridge at the foot of the Raidillon. Anglophones allude to Eau Rouge and include the Raidillon without always naming it. The Eau Rouge is a tributary of the Amblève river which served as the border between the Roman and German empires and later between Belgium and Germany.
Constructed in 1939, the Raidillon (literally the small steep road) has a drop of approximately 40 metres, from the start of the curve to the exit from the bend. It features a very impressive ramp which follows the descent of the cars after the hairpin of La Source. The sequence of movement, considered by numerous drivers as the most beautiful triple difficulty in the world, requires great mastery, not just to stay on the road but also to approach the straight line leading to Combes at the highest possible speed. The drivers find themselves faced with a wall and a succession of left, right, left corners without being able to glimpse the summit. The Raidillon replaced the former tight bend of the old customs post with a shorter and faster design. Over the course of its very long history, the Circuit has adapted to the development of motorsport to respond to standards and safety requirements from the associations responsible (currently the FIA), without losing its soul as a very select Circuit, both for drivers and mechanics. The centrifugal force exerted by it requires great adroitness and superb knowledge of the area.
Weekend tickets include Friday-Saturday-Sunday.
Warning : A handling fee of €15 will be added to the first order (except gift cards / parking).
