Eau Rouge was tighter than yet. Today with the old Eau Rouge they can´t drive flat out!

Did anybody knew what the top speed of this cars ?
Where can i get info about top speed in f1 in period from 1950-now?

Is there any point comparing the average speed of old and new Spa?? Old Spa had a long straight, and long sweeping corners, so they could keep 200km/h+ in most parts of them too.

Not to offend you, but the track layout looks like a poop

The fastest single lap atm is 161,297 mph / 259.528 km/h. (Monza 2002: Juan Pablo Montoya.)

@92NB it's just the same! some people say kph, others say kmh

@Fastbikkel The curve was made narrower in 1979 when they shortened the circuit and slightly modified La Source and Eau Rouge. In 1981 the Bus Stop was added too. Check out popular vids from '83 or '87. Slight modifications were made to Eau Rouge in 2002 as well. Shame - I liked this one better.
The average pole position (Jackie Stewart) speed on the old Spa (14km / 8.7 miles) in 1970 was 244kph / 151mph. This is still the higest average pole speed in the F1 history of the Spa-Francorchamps (2007 race with the modern layout 7 km circuit was "only" 237kph :)

kilometer per hour...."kph" I think it is the same as "kmh" (But I had to look it up when I saw this reply then :)

Yea, ok, I live in finland so we use kmh here, and we use to say kmh not kph, but its ok. (:

In Norway we use just "km" or "km/t" ....But when lookming it up, I've found out that "kph" is a more "American-english" term it seems ("TV-english" you know :)
