What course type did Wikipedia list for the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix?

Wikipedia listed the course type for the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix as a permanent racing facility.

That description reflects Spa-Francorchamps’ status as a purpose-built, fixed motorsport venue rather than a temporary circuit assembled in public streets or a city park. The modern facility has permanent track infrastructure, pit buildings, paddock areas, grandstands and safety installations designed for recurring international events.

Spa’s history is more complicated than the short label suggests. The original circuit, opened in 1921, used public roads connecting Francorchamps, Malmedy and Stavelot. That long road course was progressively replaced for safety reasons. The modern circuit was shortened and made permanent, and it was removed from the public road network around 2000.

“Road course” is an understandable distractor because Spa’s original layout used public roads and the venue still follows a flowing, road-racing style. However, the quiz asks for Wikipedia’s listed course type for the 2026 event, whose exact infobox wording is “Permanent racing facility.” It is not a temporary park or street circuit.
