Henri Pescarolo is credited with the fastest-ever lap around Spa but, unless the pole time for '70 and/or '71 Spa 1000 KM was/were faster, Ickx's 163.674 mph avg for pole at the '73 Spa 1000 KM on a Ferrari 312P remains the quickest lap around the Belgian circuit - ever.

BTW, was the Spa '73 1000km the last international race on the full circuit?

Nope. As late as '75, a 1000 KM race was held - shortened from the customary 71 laps to 54 because of rain, with Ickx recording FL, like he did in '74 and '72.
