Excellent result for British racing teams/drivers . Anoyone notice that the another 'missing' car from LM selection, the factory Zytek won LMP1 .
Hope the ACO were watching, prats.

So chuffed! A great day for British motorsport...Rollcentre, Zytek, LNT, Chamberlain & Racesports...The ACO need to wake up and take heed of this, althought sadly too late for this year...

Great result for Team LNT; maybe the ACO now might let them in!

Phew!! Just got into the office after flying back from Brussels this morning. What a fab weekend and a great result for TVR.

Shame about the weather though. It pis**d down on Saturday and the fog was diabolical all weekend. Both F3 races were cancelled and the GT qualifying was cut short because of fog. At one point at Les Coombes you couldn’t see the cars from side of the track. You could just hear them going by!

As usual I managed to be on the opposite side of the circuit whenever one of the safety car incidents occurred so I didn’t see too many spills (apart from seeing the Lister Storm loose a wheel).

Respect to the lone TVR flag on the start finish straight during the GT2 podium ceremony :thumbsup:

Took over 100 pics – will post some up when I get home tonight.

There was a group of TVR’s in the car park: Yellow 350, Black Tuscan and BRG Griffith. Anyone on here?

A Fantastic display from the LNT boys - Truly epic and historic stuff. They beat the Porkers and Ferraris on pace too, not just reliability.

Excellent result for the team and drivers !!! Given the awful conditions that is one phenomenal victory and hopefully a boost for the marque.

Fantastic result from LNT (and Zytek)- I`m gutted that they`re not at Le Mans. To re-iterate the ACO look a bit silly this morning.

Porkers also got whipped in the ALMS by Panoz yesterday!

Well we had a great two days at Spa.

Saturday we got drenched walking from the car park to the paddock, I'm sure my coat was waterproof, but wet jeans take a long time to dry in the wet. The fog was amazing when it rolled in. There was something special about watching the classic cars disappear into the fog at Eau Rouge.

Fantastic results for British teams, especially the TVR boys.

I never realised that Spa was so hilly, the walk round the circuit was exceptionally long / tiring / exciting / hardwork / fun *

Champers anyone?


Plenty more pictures when I've recovered from the trip
