Spa Classic - May 13-15 2016 (Belgium)
And glad this one's coming up soon again, one of my absolute favorites: a wonderful track and surroundings, a fun packed program and it's not the other side of the world either. If you want to can making it a wonderful weekend out and go to Spa on Sat (best day traditionally) and the Ring on Sun which is only 1 hour from Spa! Anyway, Spa Classic always means many wonderful classes including Group C, and of course loads of BMW action!

Just ploughed through the provisional entry lists, clearly not complete yet but still, already see nice things. Bobby Rahal is going to participate in a 911 RSR apparently, Charles Veillard is keeping his word by being back with the E21 320 Group 5 car, and more BMW candy too! Several E24's, M1's and the CSL's include several original Luigi examples. In less than a month we'll be having a fabulous time again!

More BMW shots from Spa Classic, part 2, finally!
Always the same in Belgium, no matter road or track. Scrutineering nagging about ground clearance. Our friend Daniëlle keeps a close eye.
Now we're talking!
Let's roll!
Buddy Raphaël in the BDA
That was a challenge!
Over at the club stands
Time travel and engine candy haha the E24's of Geoff Steel Racing inspected a bit closer
In the meantime the UFO racer was up for major work after brake problems
Odd one... M88 powered Sthemo Group C car (no 185)
Poofffff
Getting ready for the evening race now
The Grand Finale... E21 of course!
Hope you had just as much fun watching as I had taking those!

Like the e12!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
