There are professional careers which are amazing or even exciting. Johan Aerts is today Safety Track Manager at the Spa Francorchamps Circuit. And the journey he has followed before arriving in Francorchamps is rather a lovely story to tell. For 28 years, Johan brought his expertise to a large banking organisation, ending as manager for the business clients. But one day, aged 52, he asked himself the following question: "Is this what I want to continue doing until the end of my working life?" an

Poster 8/10: record-breaker BMW the brand to beat at centenary CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa
the German marque’s unprecedented record of success at Spa. After a podium finish in 1938, its first victory came in 1965 with the 1800 Ti/SA driven by Pascal Ickx and Gérard Langlois von Ophem. Between this maiden success and 1998, when the event was reserved for touring cars, BMW secured an astonishing 21 victories. Indeed, it had never gone more than five years without a win until the dawn of the GT era. When the race changed in 2001, BMW was absent. Lacking a suitable model to call upon, it

Of course, it's all about history, design and fine mechanical engineering... but it's also all about the big show ! And so, in a rather unlikely move, SpaItalia will bring together Alfa and... drift!

This means that the runs will take place uphill, towards the Source. From the grandstands on the Raidillon or
The magic of a Circuit which is absolutely unique
world: the Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps. Lewis Hamilton, world triple champion in Formula 1 expressed his opinion on this topic one day: "Spa is one of the historic circuits that I used to adore on television when I was younger. It’s also... truly enormous and you have the impression of being in a roller coaster”. It should be said that no less than 100 metres of drop separates the top of Combes and the Courbe Paul Frère (the former Stavelot turn). When we speak of this track, a bend, or
