A lot happens above or near 100mph. At these speeds big mistakes with the lines often lead to big crashes--particularly at Raidillon.
I remember an otherwise boisterous crowd looking very solemnly at their beers, on the terrasse of Relais de Pommard, the day before the trackday, having gone to see what Raidillon really was like. Even Des was silenced! [][

I've just been watching some of the Motors TV coverage of the WEC Spa 6 Hours (Porsche 919 still leading at the point where I stopped watching) I've set it to 'record' and will definitely be having another look as it gives added perspective to go with all the youtube clips that I've been looking at. That is one challenging track!
Mike Bert, who has his 2.8RSR looked after by the same guy as I do, apparently told my mechanic that he had to use all of his considerable experience (and talent) to avoid crashing there and couldn't wait to hand said car over to his co-driver Ziggi Brunn as soon as he could.
It's all making me nervous!
