24 HOURS OF SPA

GT3 superstars flat out all day – and all night

-

The famous – some might even say infamous – and historic hills, crests and sweeping corners of the world-famous Spafrancor­champs circuit play host to the best GT3 cars and most talented drivers in this gruelling round-the-clock test of stamina, endurance and mechanical brilliance. The 24 Hours of Spa is the headline event in the Blancpain endurance season and is a real race of attrition with only the the very best of the best finally making it to the chequered flag.

In recent years German manufactur­ers such as BMW and Audi have been worthy winners of this demanding race, but the competitio­n is always right up there with them, with the likes of Aston Martin, Mercedes, Nissan and Porsche all posing fiercely strong challenges in 2019.

The combinatio­n of such a historic circuit and fascinatin­g endurance racing make the Spa 24 Hours a must-see event for all motor racing fans.
