Title: Spa 24
Post by: termietermite on December 14, 2010, 12:53:55 pm

I've just been having a trawl around the websites to plan next year a bit and I see that the FIA GT calendar doesn't include Spa.  Nothing on the circuit's own website yet, nor the 24 hour one.  Anybody know anything?  I realise things still change at this time of year but it's a bit odd.

Spa is not hosting an FIA GT round next year. There's an FIA GT race at Portimao on May 8 - same date as LMS at Spa.
Spa 24 Hours 2011 is on July 30-31.

Interesting.  Thanks, m'dear!

I wonder if this will therefore make the entry broader or more restricted.

I thought Spa 24 was going to be a GT3/GT4 race as part of the new Endurance Series.

Thanks Geoff.  I was obviously asleep and missed this!

Hope the Magny Cours round comes off as I can get there easily. :)
