Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps arrives in iRacing on August 26, 2008, bringing one of the most legendary tracks in the world into sim racing. Nestled in Belgium’s Ardennes forest, Spa is a cathedral of motorsport and a bucket-list venue for drivers across every discipline.
From the start, Spa’s inclusion transforms iRacing’s road racing portfolio. Its 7.004 km (4.352 mi) Grand Prix layout combines long straights, technical corners, and iconic elevation changes, making it a perfect fit for Formula cars, GTs, and endurance racing.
What makes Spa unique in iRacing
- Elevation drama: Eau Rouge and Raidillon remain some of the most breathtaking corners in racing.
- High-speed balance: Long straights test horsepower, while corners like Pouhon and Blanchimont demand bravery and downforce.
- Endurance heritage: Spa hosts the 24 Hours of Spa, and its layout is tailored for long-distance, multi-class battles.
- Weather realism: Situated in the Ardennes, Spa is known for rapidly changing conditions — simulated dynamically in iRacing.
- Prestige: Hosting Formula One, WEC, GT World Challenge, and countless classics makes Spa a crown jewel in any racing calendar.
The release gives iRacers the chance to tame one of the most demanding circuits in the world, and Spa quickly becomes a mainstay of official series and special events.
