Just three weeks following its world premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom, the new Audi R8 LMS GT2 attracted attention at the world’s biggest GT race in Belgium. With 72 entrants, the 24 Hours of Spa is unique and regarded as the highlight of the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup in Europe as well as the worldwide Intercontinental GT Challenge.

Aston Martin GT3 racer Ahmad Al Harthy and the Oman Racing team face a monumental challenge in the weekend’s Total 24 Hours of Spa, round four of the Blancpain Endurance Cup season, after an enforced switch to a spare car for qualifying means an unenviable pitlane start for the race itself.

The best-placed Porsche 911 GT3 R takes up the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps from the first grid row. In the gripping and hotly-contested Super Pole, in which only the top twenty qualifiers were eligible, just one driver per car was permitted to take part. In the hunt for the best time, Laurens Vanthoor turned an impeccable lap for the KÜS Team75 Bernhard squad.

Mercedes-AMG Team Black Falcon will start this year’s Total 24 Hours of Spa from the front of a record 72-car grid after securing top spot from a dramatic Super Pole battle.

KC Motorgroup Ltd. (KCMG) made it through to the Super Pole session for the 2019 24 Hours of Spa with one of its two Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 and will line up 20th and 28th on the grid.

The stage is set. The 2019 edition of the ‘Rocking and Racing’ Silverstone Classic is primed for action, following a spectacular opening day of qualifying sessions, anniversary celebrations, family fun and evocative Woodstock riffs.

On July 27-28, the famous 24-hour marathon for GT3 cars takes place at Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium. The SMP Racing crew of Russian Mikhail Aleshin, Spaniard Miguel Molina and Italian Davide Rigon, driving the Ferrari 488 GT3, was classified third in the qualifying session.
