Total 24hrs of Spa 2014

Saturday the 26th of July I visited the start of the 24hrs of Spa.

It resembles the Atmosphere of the 24hrs of the Nurburgring, but is much more laid back and less crowded.

Like in Germany, many campers come and make it a 4 day visit.




First I visited the famous fast corner Eau Rouge and watched among others a race for the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC.



Then I walked back down part of the pit complex to the 180 degrees La Source corner.

The GT 3 Cars lined up, just in front of me. Part of the Mechanics tried rather awkwardly to push their Cars up the Hill and tried to make a U-Turn, but because of the big turning circle of all Cars, it looked all very silly.



While the Grid was being formed,  a very well balanced TV camera Man made his shots.




After spending a few Hours watching the race I went for a Beer and watched the race a while from the Terras, when the first of a series of heavy accidents happened.







After the third big accident the race was stopped for some time, to bring everybody back to their senses and clear the track of debries. I didn't want to wait for the restart and went back home.
