After a well deserved 4 week holiday I came home to find a press pass for the Spa 6 hours in my mail. It was the first time I received a press pass for an event at Spa Francorchamps. Since I never had this opportunity I didn’t have a clue were the best spots were to take some pics. So I walked and drove around the track looking for some good places, but the sun wasn’t playing nice. I didn’t find a place to make a photo with a good composition.
All photos were taken sunday afternoon, the actual 6 hour race was on saturday. On sunday there were some more historic races, I made pictures of the BRDC historic sportscars, Grand Prix Masters and the GT & Sports Endurance Masters.

Spa Italia, according to the organizers one of the world’s largest Italian car meetings. The seventh edition of Spa Italia was a tribute to Lamborghini. I drove up to Spa Francorchamps on saturday, and I didn’t have any luck with the weather. It rained most of the morning, only in the late afternoon we got some sun but by that time I had to leave. I should have gone on sunday when the weather was much better. It’s not so easy taking photos when the sky is so dark, I need more light

So I found a nice collection of Lamborghini’s in the car park. The Belgian Lamborghini importer was there with the latest Murcielago and Gallardo models. The Italian supercars stayed in the pits most of the day only going on the track for a parade lap. Some owners were a bit braver and gave their cars a good workout on the track. But supercars and a wet track is not the best combination, I saw a crashed Ferrari 355 Challenge.

Great event at Spa Francorchamps, classic races with historic formula 1 cars and awesome group C monsters at work. I was very happy to see a Tyrell P34 in action, this must be one of the most radical F1 cars in history. Some very nice group C cars racing in Spa, a lot of Porsche 962′s and the beautiful Jaguar XJR12, still in it’s Le Mans winning Silk Cut livery.
