The eighth Spa-Classic provided some memorable race action with 325 cars in action over the weekend.
Highlights included the first running of Peter Auto’s 2.0L Cup for early Porsche 911s, which saw 33 cars on the grid.
The event also saw non-competitive outings for the Global Endurance Legends cars which comprised of GTs and prototypes from the 1990s-2000s. It provided visitors with the opportunity to see, among others, a marvellous Bentley EXP Speed 8 in action identical to the car that won the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2003. These cars will be at the Grand Prix de l’Age d’Or in three weeks and then the Le Mans Classic at which more than 70 cars are expected: these are hoped to include Audi R8 LMPs, Bentley Speed 8s, Ferrari F40 LMs, McLaren F1 GTRs, Panoz Esperante GTR-1s, and Porsche 911 GT1s.
