Two weekends remain in the 2007 GP2 Series and, despite
Timo Glock opening out an eleven-point gap over Lucas di Grassi in the championship at Monza, there is still all to play for with the title on the line.
With Spa-Francorchamps back on the calendar after a year's absence, and following just a week after Monza, GP2 has the pleasure of racing on two of the most legendary circuits in the world, but with the challenge of Spa being vastly different to that faced in Italy last weekend, the outcome remains as unpredictable as ever.
The series is no stranger to Spa, however, having raced there in 2005, but that was before the introduction of slick tyres, leaving teams with only data from the grooved Bridgestones to act on, in addition to the other technical changes introduced to keep them on their toes in 2007, making the half-hour opening practice session on Friday all the more important.
Spa is a challenging circuit and one where finding the correct set-up will be difficult. As well as the gradient changes experienced during the course of a lap, there are also a diverse range of corners with fast flowing sections contrasting with tighter technical sections. As if the circuit was not enough of a test for teams and drivers when dry, wet weather is an ever-present threat in the Ardennes location of the circuit, so those who are quick thinking and able to adapt have a potential advantage.
Back in 2005, the weekend was disrupted heavily by the sort of inclement weather so often associated with the Ardennes. Nelson Piquet Jr took his first GP2 Series win on Saturday while Adam Carroll won a rain-affected race, but only earned half points awarded due to its early curtailing. This year's weather would appear to be far more temperate and, although it is far colder than Monza, rain is not expected until Monday. However, the weather system around Spa is such that things could turn at any moment.
