2017 Formula 1 2017 FORMULA 1 PIRELLI BELGIAN GRAND PRIX Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium Fri 25 Aug – Sun 27 Aug 2017 2017 FORMULA 1 PIRELLI BELGIAN GRAND PRIX FRI 25 AUG – SUN 27 AUG 2017 YOUR RACE DESTINATION SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS Belgium Often referred to as the “Pearl of the Ardennes,” this Belgian mountain town is where the word spa comes from. Famed for its multiple natural mineral springs, the town is home to Europe’s original health resort – it’s in the name! A trip to Spa is not complete without visiting its hot springs and mineral waters, the perfect antidote to a weekend of action-packed racing. Quickly identified by visiting royals and intellectuals as the “café of Europe”, Henry VII of England often raved about the town’s healing powers. A neoclassic marvel for incoming tourists is the Casino de Spa. Originally built in 1770, the ceiling is dotted by jaw-dropping murals. For those who fancy a flutter, this is still a very much functioning casino, so bring your passport (and some money!). For racing fans, the Musee de Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, located a mere six miles away from the track at Stavelot Abbey, is packed full of racing vehicles, information on the history of the track, as well as an original taxi from 1912. A trip to Spa and Belgium without sampling some of its unique delicacies like a cone of frites and waffles frosted with icing sugar and whipped cream is a trip wasted. In the heart of Spa you will find L’Art de Vivre, widely regarded as the best restaurant in Spa. Try it. Attend the 2017 Belgian Grand Prix at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps with F1® Experiences, Formula 1’s® Official Ticket & Travel Provider, with access including driver meet- and-greets, Paddock Club Party, pit lane walks and more! FAST FACTS: • At 7.004km long, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is the longest current F1® circuit. NAVIGATION GRID • Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen has the best record of any current driver at Spa, taking four wins and one other podium finish.

  • Interplay Between Tectonically Triggered Regressive Erosion and Climatic Cyclicity
    Valley downcutting in the Ardennes (W Europe): Interplay between tectonically triggered regressive erosion and climatic cyclicity A. Demoulin1,2,*, A. Beckers1, G. Rixhon3, R. Braucher4, D. Bourlès4, L. Siame4 1 Dept of Physical Geography and Quaternary, Univ. of Liège, Belgium 2 Fund for Scientific Research – FNRS, Brussels, Belgium 3 Institute for Geography, Univ. of Cologne, Germany 4 CEREGE, Univ. Aix-Marseille III, France *corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract While climatic models of valley downcutting discuss the origin of terrace staircases in valleys of middle Europe within the frame of alternating cold and temperate periods of the Quaternary, other models, starting from a base level fall imposed by an initial tectonic signal, describe the response of the drainage network mainly as the propagation of an erosion wave from the place of base level fall (the margin of the uplifted region) toward the headwaters, the two types of model being rarely confronted. In the Ardennes (West Europe), cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al ages have recently been calculated for the abandonment of the Younger Main Terrace (YMT) level, a prominent feature at mid-height of the valleysides marking the starting point of the mid-Pleistocene phase of deep river incision in the massif. These ages show that the terrace has been abandoned diachronically as the result of a migrating erosion wave that started at 0.73 Ma in the Meuse catchment just north of the massif, soon entered the latter, and is still visible in the current long profiles of the Ardennian Ourthe tributaries as knickpoints disturbing their upper reaches. At first glance, these new findings are incompatible with the common belief that the terraces of the Ardennian rivers were generated by a climatically triggered stepwise general incision of the river profiles.

    Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Racing Circuits Netherlands Belgium Germany Austria Luxembourg Switzerland Rob Semmeling Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 2 Contents Foreword 3 Netherlands 5 Belgium 44 Germany 78 Austria 133 Luxembourg & Switzerland 148 Copyright © Rob Semmeling 2009-2016 / all rights reserved www.wegcircuits.nl Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 3 Foreword Motorsport essentially consists of three ingredients. First, you need a motor vehicle - which can be anything from a Formula 1 car to a lawn mower, or from a MotoGP motorcycle to a pocket bike. Second, you need a driver or rider to operate the vehicle, and finally, a place to go racing - a circuit. To most people this last ingredient is probably the least interesting. The number of books about famous racing drivers and cars, or great riders and their motorcycles, is far larger than the number of books about racing circuits. However, to me circuits are the most interesting aspect of motorsport, for two main reasons. First is their great diversity: in terms of shape, layout, length, difficulty, fame and many other factors, every circuit is different, and each has its own story to tell. Second, it is fascinating to see just how many circuits there are. Once you start looking, you can find them just about any- where. Finding lost circuits or discovering long-forgotten tracks is one of the most fun aspects of researching racing circuits. When looking for information about racing circuits online, I often found it frustrating that the available sources were not complete, and that they often lacked detail and accuracy. This is one of the reasons why I started my website www.wegcircuits.nl and why I made Rennen! Races! Vitesse! - a downloadable pdf-file that lists racing circuits of past and present in four European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.

  • Les Sources Minérales De La Belgique Nomenclature, Géographie, Analyses Et Bibliographie
    348 A. POSKIN. — LES SOURCES 1 5 NOVE LES SOURCES MINÉRALES DE LA BELGIQUE NOMENCLATURE, GÉOGRAPHIE, ANALYSES ET BIBLIOGRAPHIE PAR le Dr A. Poskin, Médecin consultant aux eaux de Spa. INTRODUCTION Depuis cinq ans, nous avions formé le projet de publier un travail sur les sources minérales de la Belgique et sur les bains de mer. Regrettant qu'en Belgique, la Balnéologie et l'usage interne des eaux minérales (Spa excepté) fussent encore dans l'enfance et que nos nom- tireuses sources ferrugineuses et thermales fussent tombées dans une décadence complète, il nous semblait qu'une publication sur cette matière réveillerait l'intérêt qui s'y attache et stimulerait l'esprit d'entreprise, sinon des communes sur le territoire desquelles ces sources sont situées et dans un but d'utilité publique, au moins des industriels qui, étant donné la vogue actuelle des eaux minérales, y verraient une bonne affaire. A ce point de vue, les eaux minérales de la Belgique forment actuel- lement une partie improductive de la richesse nationale, que nos voisins les Français et les Allemands n'auraient garde de négliger, comme nous l'avons fait, surtout en raison de l'importance locale que les stations balnéaires, même la simple exportation, la seule vente des liquides minéralisés ajouteraient à la prospérité des villages. Notre but, en un mot, était de solliciter la création d'une industrie nouvelle dont le bénéfice s'adresserait à toutes les classes, qui contri- buerait à la santé publique et qui aurait pour résultat de retenir dans le pays les sommes considérables que les Belges, soit par habitude de déplacement, soit par mode, soit par nécessité de traitement, vont, chaque année, porter au delà de la frontière.
