CLASSIC ENDURANCE RACING
With full starting grids - some 50 cars among which Porsche 935, BMW M1, Lola T70, Ferrari 512 BBLM - and drivers wishing to honor the fabulous history of their machines, the show is guaranteed!
C.E.R echoes a period - 1966 to 1981 - when endurance racing was reigning over motorsport. A glorious period of the Ford GT40, Porsche 910, Ferrari 512… and their drivers: Jacky Ickx, Henri Pescarolo, Gérard Larrousse… Their playground was not limited to the extraordinary 24 Hours of Le Mans, but spread over the greatest European circuits in the scope of the World Sports Car Championship. Classic Endurance Racing, which revives the passion of Endurance racing, is much more than a historical reminder.

SIXTIES' ENDURANCE
The Sixties’ Endurance, for pre-63 Sports and pre-66 GTs, offers a wonderful occasion to admire all icons of the world championship at the time.
Strong endurance highlight, these two-hour races put together a wide range of cars (E-Type Jaguars, Ferrari 250 GTs, Porsches 911) for both the period 1950 to 1965, and the capacity. One of Peter Auto characteristic features is, in addition to the traditional classification, a weighted classification which favours the smaller cubes and older cars in front of their powerful and younger challengers such as the AC Cobras, undoubtedly more efficient.

HERITAGE TOURING CUP
The brand new Heritage Touring Cup was born from the success met by the Spa Endurance Tourisme in 2013. We must also keep in mind that Le Mans is for sure the Endurance Mecca, but Spa is definitely the Touring cars' one…The Heritage Touring Cup echoes the glorious times (1966-1984) of the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC). The manufacturers battling for glory with BMW and their 3.0 CSL or 635csi, Ford with the Escort and Capri as well as Jaguar with the XJ12C Broadspeed followed by the TWR XJ-S to name a few.

TOURING CARS U2TC
Historic Motor Racing News U2TC is a series for pre-1966 under-two-litre Touring Cars that encourages authentic period cars and high driving standards.
It celebrates the very beginnings of the European Touring Car Championship which would become today’s WTCC as a World Championship when the smaller cars were the regular winners. It is a great crowd pleaser, as the evenly-matched cars are driven in joyful and exuberant sideways style recalling the great Alfa, BMW and Ford duels of the early ‘60s, with always the threat of the nimble Minis. Over the last eight years, U2TC has developed into one of the most highly competitive series in historic racing.
Usual weekend format is a 60-minute race and 40-minute qualifying for one or two driver. At the Spa Classic, U2TC drivers will have the pleasure of two one-hour races, one by day and one by night.
