The big issue here is there is very little run off and very short reaction times. 

I saw a vid from on the fence. There were cars slowing down when one car came through full speed and pow.  Not sure why he didnt react to what was happening

Fuck!

Eau rouge is flat out now. 

Too bad.  RIP!

Eau Rouge has been a flat out part of the track for some time now.  Don't hit your marks and he has claimed the pride and ego of countless drivers, as well as several lives.

There's a vid on YouTube, in car, showing year to year going through eau rouge.

You can hear them lifting. Maybe 10-15 years they don't lift anymore.

I'll need to watch it later.  

Spa has traditionally been a very fast track, so they probably don't run a huge amount of downforce in the cars to be able to take Eau Rouge year in and year out at WFO like they can today.
