The 1956 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 3 June 1956 at Spa-Francorchamps.

After the first day of practice on Thursday, Fangio was on pole with a time almost 5 sec faster than second place Moss.

It was raining when the race began and Fangio made a poor start and settled in fifth with Moss well in the lead.

Collins took second when Moss lost a back wheel on the climb after the Eau Rouge bridge.

Moss ended the race on a furious pace but the two leaders were too far ahead to make up the gap.
