Large parts of the race also on Sky F1.

Due to Covid restrictions on race control and marshal numbers they've decided not to enforce track limits other than at Radillon, which made Superpole a bit of a farce, but I suppose it's a small price to pay, at least we're getting a race, a day or 2 later and it's doubtful it'd be on.

Drivers apparently ok but it was a big hit, barriers got destroyed.

For the BTCC Crowd, Rob Collard is in a Barwell Lamborghini no. 77 and Tom Onslow Cole in the 74 Merc

Giancarolo Fisichella is driving that Ferrari (car 93, sky livery).

car 19 could be out of the race, having incurred transmission damage in a spin.

Lots of hands being slapped for track limits.

Marciello doing what he did at the N24, just running away at the front, long way to go yet.

Meantime, the Eau Rouge camera is awesome: https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/6uGGp...

Watched a little on the YouTube channel... compared to Le Mans it is properly dark.

This is funny to watch as they try and get the safety car in front of the leader, when the leader each lap goes to the pits.

Great race, especially in the last few hours when the rain came and it could have gone to any of the manufacturers.

Tandy must have been crapping himself with that noise in the car.

Good comeback for the KCMG #47 after their garage visit to eventually finish 13th.

Great to see so many young drivers appearing with lots of talent, GT racing seems stronger than ever at the moment.

Fantastic last stint from Tandy, good job they decided against making it a 25 hour race

I love the Spa 24 Hours. And that was a quality edition despite everything. What a joy to watch a HD advert-free feed too, after the usual stop-start Eurosport Le Mans coverage.

Really must make the effort to go in the next couple of years. Assuming we'll ever be allowed to actually do that stuff again...

i went there in 2017. i can thoroughly recommend it and if you get a week off then travel to Gent, Leuven and Malmedy on the way down. lovely part of the world, great food and beer.

access is great at the track, the atmosphere isnt on the same level as le mans or the N24, but its a really great event and is cheep!!

All agreed, it's a great event, and a bargain, have been to the last 6, hopefully back next year.
I think it helped the race having fewer cars this year, lots of green flag running at least until daybreak, the safety car after every full course yellow is garbage though, everyone knows it including the commentators, they're convincing no-one by trotting out the party line about it being for safety each time.
