Racing in Belgium

At Velociworx, we're all about crazy schemes, so when one of our partners in insanity suggested showing us an unorthodox way of degreasing his engine bay we watched carefully. Here's what our resident lunatic did after spraying some brake cleaner!

Spa-Francorchamps, a fast and long track winding it's way through the dense Ardennes forests. Favorite of many drivers and racing enthusiasts worldwide for it's combination of long straights, high speed corners, elevation changes and stunning scenery.
Back in 2012 when Bernie and the FIA where endangering the Spa Grand Prix's future, a tribute video was made as a form of protest.

Lately I've been preoccupied with lots of things that are not motor-sports. Now that the season is nearing it's end again I decided to drive down to one of our local tracks and just see what was going on there these days. In context, around the year 2000 was probably the best time for racing in Belgium, the last few years the economic crisis also hit racing teams and facilities hard. I picked the Zolder Circuit since it's the shortest drive and they happened to have an international testing day scheduled. Expecting a couple of amateurs and maybe a few lower level GT4/GT3 cars, imagine the shock I got when I suddenly found myself face to face with a Fittipaldi F5A formula one car dating back to the good old days. Thank God all devices have video recording features these days! Enjoy!
