The resumption of the season for the Intermediates Trophy takes us to Belgium and the classic track of Spa-Francorchamps.
This track was the fastest circuit in the world. The original triangle-shaped course used public roads between the Belgian towns of Spa, Malmedy, and Stavelot. The combination of massively fast speeds, poor safety equipment and the unpredictable weather made this track deadly in the 1960's. So much so that the Grand Prix drivers boycotted the race in 1969.
Jackie Stewart's crusade to improve safety in racing was set in motion by his crash there in 1966, when his BRM ended upside-down in the cellar of the farmhouse on the outside of the corner, with fuel gushing out of the tank onto the Scot, who had broken ribs to add to his misery.
Luckily for us GPL isn't quite so dangerous. We can enjoy the challenge of taking Eau Rouge and the Masta kink flat out without killing ourselves.
The Intermediates will race for 12 laps on this loooong circuit!
In line with the new handicapping system, only the series leader is chassis restricted. The others are too distant to require it! Since Spa is such a power track the restriction to a BT7 is loosened (just a bit).
