Sep.1 (GMM) An official for the Spa-Francorchamps circuit on Monday played down reports that the much loved formula one layout may be shortened from its current 7km.
Local reports in Belgium say historic Spa, the longest layout on the current F1 calendar, had - with Bernie Ecclestone's approval - proposed to connect the Pouhon corners with Blanchimont, thereby cutting out famous sections including the Fagnes chicane and Stavelot.
But circuit spokesman Luc Willems told the Dutch language f1today.nl: "Spa has always been an unique circuit and that is not going to change."
He said there is a difference between proposals and reality.
"Our circuit is as it is and is not going to change," Willems insisted.
