24hours of Spa-Francorchamps
 

My visit to Francorchamps was great. The ex rally driver who gave me the free tickets is a great driver IMO. He has a Hyundai Coupé 2.0 and like he drives you really notice the fact that a FWD has it's weaknesses. One time we had such massive understeer that I though we were going into the trees. I also made lot's of small movies but I don't think it's worth sharing them, the best part (the sound) isn't in it and the resolution isn't good enough if you can't use a zoom.

Some pics of the racecars.
I know they’re not so good but my camera doesn’t have a good zoom function.

the rest of them, and other race pictures are in the other Proximus 24hr thread, but it take me a couple of days before they are all ready to go online!

nice to see some other peoples pictures from the event too :)

That green AMV8 :love:

thanks for sharing, looks like it was a whole lot of fun :) great picture of the AMV8!
by the way, since ive never done an endurance race, how was the 24 hours? exhausting? did you stay til the end?

thx for the comments. IMO the pics aren't so great, but I don't have such a good camera and the guy I was with didn't have a lot of patience or intrest in normal production cars. The nice cars make up for my crappy camerawork of course!!

Nope, didn't stay till the end. I arrived at Francorchamps at 8 in the morning and we left at 12 in the evening, when the 24 race had just started 8 hours earlier. But believe me, it was long enough IMO. 24hours is quite exhausting I suspect.

Some great sightings, especially the new AM V8 Vantage! How was the atmosphere around the track and inside the paddock?
