The Spa 24 Hours
The updated Spa-Francorchamps circuit on Monday hosted free practice sessions ahead of the famous 24 Hour event. The race is currently taking place this weekend.
Round 6 of the FIA GT Championship - what is quickly becoming my favourite race series out there.
While I’ve enjoyed watching the live timing and clicking back to the PC every hour or so to check up on the progress - and hitting the FIAGT web site, its just not the same as watching it live on the TV.
I really have difficulty imagining a more amazing event. Spa-Francorchamps - possibly my favourite race circuit in the world. Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Maserati, Corvette, Saleen, all fighting it out. 24 hours of driving, 24 hours of reliability and consistency. Its an incredible event on an amazing circuit.
Rain has hit the race pretty significantly according to the timing and news updates. I can’t imagine how exciting it must be to watch! Almost as exciting as the last round of the F1 at the Nurburgring I would guess!
I know I’ve said it before, but I really do wonder why the local television stations can’t cover this sort of GT racing…
