First cars drive on new spa-francorchamps

While the work on the new pit-stop and paddock buildings is not
completed yet, the circuit somewhat is finished and the first cars drove
on it last last week.

Here some pics of how the new "buss-stop", F1-start/finish straight and
"La Source" looks like.

Buss-Stop "chicane" with pit-stop entry in the middle and huge asphalt
escape-zones:

F1-start/finish straight ... that's really straight now. The old curved
straight is gone ... at least the Spyker's will see the lights now

"La Source" at end on F1-start/finish straight ... much wider than
before + asphalt escape-zone :

Another Tilkedrome skidpadring emerges from what was a classic circuit.

I'd watch that, if you could get Murray Walker to do the commentary

Turbo charge the suckers, wet the track down, record it on a PVR and play it

back at 4x normal speed, and I'm in!

Thanks!

I'll wait to see the first race before making any firm decisions, but those
pictures do make it look a bit soul-less.
