The word "Spa" has a different meaning for different people and for F1 fans SPA is pretty much the place to be when it comes to F1. Set in Belgium, the track is one of the best (if not the best) tracks in the world. You look at the list of people who have been successful here and you see a list of F1 champions. Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Raikkonen, Vettel, Hamilton, all of them have tasted success here and you can ask anyone on the grid and Spa would be the place where they'd like to go to see an F1 race.

You talk about the track you talk about challenging elevation changes, Eau Rouge, Blanchimont, Pouhon and what not and then in the same breath you talk about the battles of the past, you talk about the greatest overtake ever in F1 by Mika Hakkinen over Michael Schumacher. That is what Spa brings to the table, the best of racing in the best of cars, set in a scenic place surrounded by trees all around. It surely is the best track on the F1 calendar.
