Participating in the festival, which is undoubtedly the F1 race at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium is an amazing experience. This is one of the few tracks where F1 races have been taking place for decades. In 1939 a spectacular steep curve was built, which is a showcase of the Spa track. The difference in altitude here is as much as 17%. This place was christened the name Raidillon, but in the minds of the fans the name Eau Rouge was adopted. After this change, Spa Francorchamps became the fastest racing track in Europe next to Monza. Many competitors consider this track to be one of the most demanding in the entire F1 calendar.
Most wins: Michael Schumacher 6
During the weekend various races take place on the track. Here we have the Porsche Supercup series, Formula 2, and Formula 3. On Sunday, an hour before the race on the track, or rather thirty meters above the track, Franky Zapata appeared, who flew 7 kilometers on the Flyboard Air. He paid tribute to Antoine Hubert, a Formula 2 driver who had died tragically the day before at the Spa-Francorchamps race. Before the F1 race there was a minute of silence on the track in memory of this 22 year old driver.
Spa-Francorchamps founded: 1920
A lot of Polish fans appeared in the stands, who came to cheer Robert Kubica, our only driver in F1. His eight-year struggle to return to the top, after a terrible accident, is proof that nothing is impossible. It's enough to have extraordinary determination, will to fight and faith that it can succeed. Only so much and so much. This is Robert Kubica, for many not only an extraordinary talent, but also an example of how you can fight for dreams. At Spa-Francorchamps I fulfilled my dream, I saw Robert Kubica, the universal driver, the most outstanding Polish representative in motorsport.

Of course, Dutch supporters dominated the stands. Dressed in characteristic orange t-shirts, they cheered on their idol, the wonderful Max Verstappen. For them it's almost a home race. The ticket prices show that it is an expensive sport. The cheapest ticket costs 140 euros. After adding the parking price, buying a commemorative pendant, fries and a drink, 200 euro was made. It's for tickets without seating, on a grassy embankment. The price of seated tickets is an expense of several hundred euros. Despite these costs, it's really worth going to Spa-Francorchamps for the F1 weekend. After all, it is the queen of motorsport.
