Hotels for 2027 TotalEnergies 6h of Spa | Weekend

Endurance racing draws a different crowd to a Grand Prix weekend: fewer flags and grandstand chants, more folk with camping chairs and radios tuned to the timing feed. Six hours is long enough for strategy to matter and for weather to turn, so crews watch the sky as closely as the timing screens. Fans tend to walk the fence line through the forest sections, following the cars by ear as much as by sight. It's a day for those who like their motorsport technical and unhurried, with pit stops and tyre calls as much the story as the racing itself.

Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is one of the greatest racing venues in the world, seven kilometres of forest roads, iconic elevation change and famous corners from La Source to Eau Rouge, Raidillon and the Bus Stop chicane in the Ardennes hills of eastern Belgium. The nearest town is Stavelot, a pleasant Wallonian market town with restaurants and medieval streets; Spa itself, two kilometres away, adds thermal baths and a famous casino. The entire Ardennes region fills for any major race weekend, so book ahead the moment plans are confirmed.
