The first thing that jumps out to me is safety. It's crazy how many drivers were killed in the 70's. Spa used to have barbed wire at one part of the track. If I talked about "That guy who crashed and burned to death trapped in his car and they didn't even stop the race" you'd be like "Which one?"
I just looked up the wiki and 49 drivers have died at Spa since it opened, not counting spectators or officials. Just insane.
