Summary
This year's six-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps was all about the "Sound of History". Almost 80 legendary vehicles - from the Ford GT40 and Jaguar E-Type to the small Ginetta G4R - made for a thrilling spectacle. Numerous safety car phases, technical failures and the petrol station roulette turned the race into a real thriller. In the end, Martin Stretton triumphed for the fifth time, while the Danish Ginetta trio won the hearts of the fans with a sensational second place.

Preview (beginning of the article)
As the organizer's motto for the entire race weekend was "Sound of History", the numerous races in the various classes in the run-up to the endurance race can certainly be described - without being disrespectful - as supporting acts. The six-hour main race then followed on Saturday afternoon, when the stars took to the stage of the Circuit Spa-Francorchamps. The "instruments" playing this Sound of History were as diverse as they were impressive: 14 Ford GT40s, 14 Lotuses, 7 Jaguar E-Types, plus numerous Shelby Cobras, MGs and Austin Healeys as well as a few soloists such as a Ginetta G4R, a TVR Griffith, a Marcos 1800 GT, an Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA and two real heavyweights - a Ford Galaxie and a Ford Falcon. The starting field comprised a total of 78 vehicles.
