description DTM Spa-Francorchamps Overview
The DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) round at Spa-Francorchamps is a touring car race held at the long-standing Belgian circuit in the Ardennes. Spa-Francorchamps measures roughly 7 kilometers in its modern layout and features the Eau Rouge–Raidillon complex, a famously fast uphill sequence of corners. The circuit's length, elevation changes, and frequently changing weather are characteristic challenges for both DTM drivers and other series that visit the venue.
help DTM Spa-Francorchamps FAQ
When has DTM raced at Spa-Francorchamps?
DTM returned to Spa in 2020 and also held a championship round there in 2022. The circuit has not been a permanent stop in every DTM season, so a year-specific schedule should be checked before planning a visit.
Which parts of Spa make the DTM round especially difficult?
Drivers must balance low drag for the Kemmel Straight with grip through sectors containing Eau Rouge, Raidillon, Pouhon, and Blanchimont. Spa's elevation changes and fast corners make setup compromises unusually visible.
Does DTM use the full Spa-Francorchamps circuit?
DTM events have used the modern Grand Prix layout, which is about 7 kilometers long. That is substantially longer than most circuits on a typical DTM calendar.
Why can weather strategy change so quickly at Spa?
Spa covers a large area in the Ardennes, and rain can affect one section while another remains dry. That makes tire selection difficult because a lap may include both wet and dry asphalt.
