RACB Karting de Spa-Francorchamps

In Stavelot, in the Ardennes, the RACB Karting de Spa-Francorchamps lays out an open-air karting track of about one thousand and ninety-two metres, set within the grounds of the legendary Spa-Francorchamps Formula 1 circuit. It is one of the largest outdoor tracks open to everyone in Belgium, where you drive latest-generation hire karts, but also your own kart or motorbike on dedicated slots.

Run by the Royal Automobile Club of Belgium, the circuit offers live timing and onboard screens, in a setting that breathes racing. Driving there, at the foot of the Belgian Grand Prix facilities, has a special flavour for motorsport fans. Booking is done online, with a dedicated app, and the site welcomes passing drivers as well as groups and events.

Stavelot is a small Ardennes town known for its abbey, its museums and its colourful carnival, in a region of forests and valleys. The Spa-Francorchamps circuit, very close by, is considered one of the finest in the world, with its famous Eau Rouge uphill kink. The RACB Karting adds an experience apart: putting on a helmet on the grounds of one of the temples of motor racing, a few kilometres from Malmedy and the High Fens. Booking is done online, and the chance to drive on the grounds of Spa-Francorchamps draws fans from all over Belgium and the neighbouring countries, well beyond the Ardennes.
