Chimay
Street CircuitBelgium
Chimay is the third of Belgium's classic road courses and probably survived longer than other similar circuits simply because of the paucity of alternative venues in the country. It was fearsomely fast – in most countries it would have been the quickest circuit, but in Belgium the original Spa and Mettet courses were faster still – and was also the scene of several horrific crashes. Eventually truncated, it emerged as a much slower and chicane-strewn run around the houses.
