Formula 1 has announced that the Belgian GP at Spa-Francorchamps will remain on the calendar in 2025 following the signing of one-year extension with the promoters.
The race has long been considered as potentially vulnerable as more and more lucrative flyaway events have been added to the schedule, and with the Dutch GP – first held in 2021 – inevitably seen as potentially impacting crowd figures. In addition, the disaster of the 2021 event, when the race as red flagged after a few laps behind the safety car, also called the venue into question.
The organisation noted that Spa has “undergone significant development of its infrastructure in recent years, which includes a 10,000-capacity increase at the circuit through the addition of two new grandstands, as well as offering a wider variety of entertainment for fans across the weekend including the addition of live music concerts.” F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali made it clear that Spa remains an important event on the calendar, while hinting also that safety remains a priority.
