    First time we've seen the GT3 Audi R8LMS - VERY impressed with this car - learned much about this car/class from one of the Phoenix staff

    Pit stops (taken from above the old F1 garages)

    Nice weather for the start of the race

    A most unusual support vehicle!!

    Gee, that Audi GT-3 car runs a low ride height.

    Race and Rally streamed the Classic Endurance race live. Was great to see that 512 BBLM out there with the others of the period.

    Young Mansel delivered a solid drive that supported what I thought was a stellar drive by Jamie.
    Modena from the pit lane driving through the entire GT3 field bar the Porsche was more than I thought possible.
    Simply stunning performance from the whole team IMHO.

    Yes, GT2. Ooops
    Can't forget Antonio's contribution, either, of course.
    Sitting at home with only the stream and Hindie's commentary to go by, it seemed both Leo and Antonio's stints coincided with the protracted safety-car periods which reduced their opportunity to make much progress up the order. Thus it fell to Jaimie the chance for forward progress, which he achieved.
    I probably should've been clearer about that in my earlier post.

    Outstanding pics. Thanks much for sharing. Was at Spa for a Porsche club event just as they were finishing the new renovations. Can't wait to get back at some point.

    You're welcome - either the LMS race at Spa or the FIA-GT Spa 24 are the best races to attend at Spa - the entire circuit is your's as well as the paddock area (unlike the F1 races).
