The logo is wrong i think. Because you can see the official logo in the official web site. May somebody change it? --88.233.96.130 15:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
I corrected the coordinates of the circuit. The coordinates given are for the start/finish line, taken from Google Earth (using an overlay photograph of the circuit).--Ciroa 21:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)--
"In 2006 with the smaller 2.4 liter V8 engines (instead of the 3.0 liter V10s of previous years) the fastest cars reached 320 km/h, this is not down to power, however, the tyres were a major let down for all participating teams in the 2006 venue." What is this supposed to mean? Smaller engines equal lower top speeds, nothing to do with tyres. 07 tyres are harder yet straight line speeds are higher than they were last year. I don't recall teams complaining about the tyres last season, where is this info from?
Also the kinked back straight does not resemble Eau Rouge in the slightest. Eau Rouge is a fast chicane, not a tame kink.
[edit] Circuit Map
What are those things marked with dark grey? For me they look like possible alternative track configurations. There's just this one problem that as far as I know, such routes just don't exist. However, there is a shortcut from near the 6th corner to the back straight, which is missing from the map.
Of course I may be wrong because there's not much material available online, but all the few aerial photos lack those dark grey track sections. Therefore I suspect that this track map is at least partially invalid.
