Spa Francorchamps - Mark Webber at Eau Rouge in the 2012 Grand Prix

Eau Rouge is one of the greatest, and most famous, parts of any track on the Formula One calendar. And it's not hard to see why. The Eau Rouge section of the circuit is long, sweeping and undulating - providing for excellent racing. The circuit is incomparable to any other in its fantastic setting in the Ardennes forest - with it's unpredictable weather.

Grandstand seats at Eau Rouge aren't cheap - but they are worth every penny. Just be prepared as the weather at Spa is utterly unpredictable.
