Spa 6 hr 2014



The 6hrs of Spa-Francorchamps 2014 was for me the beginning of a new Motorsports season. 

Under a sunny sky, but cold wind, the spectators had a great day at this beautiful circuit in the Ardennes in Belgium. This race is seen by everyone as a prelude to the 24hrs of Le Mans. 

There were 2 support races: the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Benelux and the Trofeo Maserati World Series.

Porsches getting ready for their support race, and the drivers all seem very experienced in handling the Champagne bottle.

All 3 races combined in 1 photo: Porsche drivers celebrating, the Ferrari's from AF Corse getting ready for the 6hrs of Spa and on track the Maseratis are lining up for their start:

The starting grid for the WEC 6hrs is being formed, a great view from the main stand at start and finish.

And the start of the race. (Apologies for the bad sound. I use just a very simple photocamera.)

Start of the LMP2's. Not all cars that will enter Le Mans were present. The field was therefore not representive for this competitive class.


Photo's from Spa are not complete without a view on Eau Rouge.



Thanks for watching and more reviews will follow soon.
