The longest (7 km) and probably most difficult track of the calendar, Spa represents a challenge for both drivers and teams due to his fast, hilly and twisty nature.
Engineering the perfect car for such a layout means finding the right balance between top speed, needed on the long Kemmel straight, and downforce, vital to be quick through the famed Eau Rouge-Raidillon compression and cope with fast corners as Pouhon and Blanchimont.
Weather can also add odds: rain is a common sight in the Ardennes and the track is so long that conditions change a lot from spot to spot. In those treacherous conditions the Lamborghini 4WD system is a fundamental help.
