What FIA grade is listed for the Grand Prix circuit at Spa-Francorchamps?

The story behind the answer

The Grand Prix circuit at Spa-Francorchamps is listed as FIA Grade 1.

FIA circuit grades indicate the kinds of international competition a track is licensed to host. Grade 1 is the highest standard for automobile circuits and is required for Formula One events, subject to the championship’s sporting and commercial arrangements.

Spa’s listing can cause confusion because the same circuit also has a separate motorcycle classification. The circuit information lists FIA Grade 1 for the Grand Prix configuration and FIA Grade 2 for motorcycle use. Therefore, FIA Grade 1 is the single answer for a question specifically asking about the Grand Prix circuit.

The modern Grand Prix layout measures about 7.004 kilometres and has 19 turns. It is famous for long elevation changes, high-speed corners and the Eau Rouge–Raidillon sequence. Safety upgrades, redesigned sections and shortened layouts have transformed the venue from its original public-road course, while preserving its demanding Ardennes character.
