All of the great old tracks are either being abandoned by F1 or modified in such a way that they're losing their identities (Ring, LeMans, even newer tracks like Hockenheim and Suzuka). Only Monza and to a lesser extent Spa have kept their character. Spa used to be a long insanely fast track on public roads before it got cut down for safety reasons; only La Source and the run to Les Combes are left. Of course Monza had that banked oval back in the sixties as well. But if you mean "old Spa" as in 2005 I don't see significant differences, just increased runoff.
