Eau Rouge / Raidillon
T4–5Dangerous
High-speed uphill compression with limited margin at the top. Wet conditions dramatically reduce grip; multiple major shunts when rivers form across the racing line.

7.004 km Ardennes classic with elevation and the Eau Rouge / Raidillon complex.
Flat in dry conditions for modern GT and prototypes — pure adrenaline. The sensation of compression and climb defines Spa for many drivers.
Automobiles must manage bottoming and camber change; small steering corrections mid-compression can destabilize the car at Kemmel speeds.
Longest draft zone on the circuit. Automobile passes into Les Combes chicane are the most common all weekend.
Long double-apex left at high speed — easy to scrub speed with early apex or run wide on a late throttle application.
Tight final complex; kerb usage is aggressive in GT racing. Easy to pick up damage or lose time with a missed downshift.
Tree shade and drainage quirks can leave damp patches even when the rest of the track is dry — especially in morning sessions.
Fresh asphalt and aggressive curbing reward a clean exit onto the Stavelot approach; a reference point for consistent sector three times.
