The mention of water is never far from people's lips at the circuit,which is eight kilometres from the town. One of the most fearsomecorners on the lap is Pouhon, which translates into English as 'waterwell' and the Ardennes has a micro-climate all of its own, hence raintyres are never far from the cars. "The great thing about Spa-Francorchampsis that it hasn't changed over the years," says three-time world champion Niki Lauda."The track is an old-style circuit and is still a great challenge to the drivers, and the surrounding area hasn't been built all over and is still very beautiful. I enjoy coming here." The bright lights of Liege and Brussels are a 40-minute and two-hour drive respectively, so there is something for everyone at the Belgian Grand Prix.
