Spa Summer Classic By Roadbook

July 23, 2024

For me, this year’s Spa Summer Classic was the opening of the 2024 season of historic motorsport. As always with the events organised by Roadbook Motor Classic, this event was perfectly organised.

The Spa 3 Hours, a 3-hour endurance race for touring cars built between January 1947 and December 1965, Grand Touring cars (GTS) built between 1947 and 1976 such as the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 RS and Grand Touring Prototypes (GTP) under 2000cc built between 1947 and 1965, took place within this already traditional event.

Of course, the Belcar Historic Cup, the Supersixties by NKHTGT, the Classic Sports Car Club, the Touring Car Legends and the Colmore YTCC, which had the largest starting field, also took part.

So it was a pure touring car event of historic motorsport. Of course, I missed the monoposto races and the sports prototypes. But nevertheless, as usual with ROADBOOK, it was a perfectly organised event with very exciting races, especially the 3-hour race was very thrilling. With the driver changes and refuelling, it was always possible to observe position changes in the field.

One of the most beautiful racetracks in Europe always hosts very interesting historic motorsport events, as I already mentioned, it was the season opener for me and at the end of the season there will be another wonderful event organised by ROADBOOK, namely the traditional SPA SIX HOURS.

This will bring the 2024 season full circle.

But until then, there is still a lot to report and photograph. In any case, you should make a note of the date of the Spa Summer Classic for next year, this year admission was free for visitors and the Spa Francorchamps racetrack is always worth a visit.
