Wrapped in a curtain of greenery between Stavelot, Malmédy and Spa, scene of so many car and motorcycling exploits, the Spa-Francorchamps racetrack is still considered by many racing drivers as the “most beautiful track in the world”. The Museum, located in Abbey’s magnificent vaulted cellars, retraces the prestigious history of the track. Original visual documents, educational panels and a continually renewed presentation of exceptional vehicles retrace the passion of the competition, from the pioneers to the present day: Ferrari, March, Chevron, Porsche, Cooper … Formula 1, but also the epic 24-hour motor and motorcycle races,
take on a new dimension. The "Demoiselles de Herstal",
the name people gave to the motorcycles built in Herstal, conjure
up nostalgic memories of the hours of glory of the Liège-based
industries: FN, Gillet and Saroléa.
