BRUSTEM BASE
Description Former military airport used during World War Two, now it hosts trackdays, drift and drag races. Possibly in the past (between 1980 and 1995) it hosted one or more Belgian Touring Car Championship events, but I have no evidence.

Brustem Base ...÷2009? (track layout could be approximated)

Due to technical problems, temporarily it’s no longer possible to see the circuits on Google Maps embedded in the current page.
This feature will be restored as soon as I figure out how to do (any help would be appreciated!)

See this track layout with Google Earth - milermeter.com
(milermeter.com can be used in your browser, without installing anything; Google Earth is a program that must be installed in your computer)
(Map shown here above can show at the same time all eventual layouts drawn. If you want to see only some of them, please go to Google Maps or Google Earth, by clicking on its own link)
