Spa Classic - 22-23-24 May 2015
One of the most brilliant classic racing events in the legendary hills around Spa and Francorchamps! One of the few occasions you get to see Group C cars in real action, and so many touring car classes. From Italian 50's stuff through impressive Porsche's 917 and 935, flame throwing M1's, you name it! A few pics from last year's event for an impression, or click here for our full report on the 2014 Spa Classic. The event is very easy going, all paddocks are open to the public and the track offers tremendous views without many limitations, for a low entrance fee. Don't miss it!

OK so here's part 1 of our own exclusive report, the 'other' brands and general pics, no particular order. Later: a Group C special, and the BMW shots are reserved for BMW Car Magazine for now, but expect some of those at a later stage.
When we arrived we almost imediately ran into multiple Le Mans 24h winner and ex F1 driver, the always cheerful Emanuele Pirro
Bonhams will be auctioning the original Joosen/Vermeersch/Andruet E12
On auction is one of the original Dutch highway patrol Porsche's from the 1980's as well
Nice view on Raidillon
Time for action! Trofeo Nastro Rosso
The Ferrari 250 GT Drogo Breadvan
Dutchman Jan Gijzen present as well in his 275 GTB/C
Want more Italian? Take your pick, BB512, 365GT and GTO aplenty
And this is rare, too!
Adding some vintage atmosphere
On Saturday morning we run into Georg Bellof, Stefan Bellof's father who had just turned 90, you wouldn't say! We had a nice chet with him at the 2013 OGP when the Stefan Bellof S-Kurve was opened at the Nordschleife and it was nice to do some catching up at Spa!
Always great views in the Spa hills
Start of the Heritage Touring Cup
Emanuele Pirro in action
Now that looks like porn! E9 Alpina engine bay
Nice light at the end of the day
And the preparations for the night session are at full speed. What a lovely panorama in the old pit lane
Last but not least a lovely E21 323i we ran into at the BMW Club stand

Great pics! I love that Lancia Stratos! But also cool to see those rover 3500s racing. And what about a pink mustang...
That pitlanepanorma is just lovely.
