This track was designed to be a safer alternative to Spa but with
massive runoff areas and no elevation change. It was then disliked by
drivers and fans alike. Drivers said it was bland and fans complained
that they weren't close enough to the action.

After the promoter went bankrupt in 1974 the track lost the right to
host the 1976 Belgian Grand Prix ironically because the pavement was no
longer considered safe enough to race on. By 1981 it had closed for
good. In the 1990s it was abandoned and possible to run illegal laps
around the track.

Today it is no more, the circuit was finally demolished in the early
21st century and today has been mostly converted into an industrial
park. The actual track portion largely remains, repurposed as roads for
the industrial park.

While likely not deliberate, the layout of this track looked like a
handgun when viewed from the air. The track picked up the nickname
"Circuit de Revolver" as a result.
