The spectacular Spa-Francorchamps circuit returned to the F1 calendar in 2007 following major upgrades to the building housing the pit garages, and changes to the track.

In order to best integrate the new pit complex into the existing paddock space, it was necessary to increase the rear paddock area toward the chicane, using a huge platform. This required 400 columns to be set, for a total length of 10km. A 4,000-seat grandstand has been built across from the new pit building.

The layout of the ‘Bus Stop Chicane’ has completely changed, with the reversal of the chicane resulting in a straight starting grid. Run-off areas at the start and end of this chicane have also been provided, as they have at the exit of La Source and at Post 21.

All excavated material was reused on the site for embankments. All demolition debris was crushed and screened in the recycling center established on the Ster side of the parking lot, to be reintegrated into the construction works.
