SPA is celebrating 100 years since its first ever race so I decided to do something special...
In this documentary you will find a rare complete lap onboard in the old Spa-Francorchamps circuit, its complete history and a compilation of the most famous crashes and some rare ones too.

I used and combined 4 rare films to complete the onboard video. Technology was way different back then... It´s not easy to synchronise them and even in the long film there are cuts that are not always possible to cover with other footage. Anyway, we have a full lap, except for 150m.

With 100 years of history, I did a lot of research to finish this video but, even so and, in order to keep this video short, lots of stuff were not mentioned/displayed but you can help others mentioning known stuff I missed in the comments section. I also had to try to keep this copyright-free as much as possible so options had to be made...

Lots of crashes in this amazing but killer track. Mainly in the old layout. I tried to include as much as I can but I had problems with copyright and had to cut some of them in the final version. I had to upload this 4 times...

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it!
