Dutch Supercar Challenge at Spa – Video

Here are a couple of videos from Dutch Supercar Challenge race at Spa.  (Race 1 – Oct 1, 2011).

Look out for the Brit interlopers! including West Suffolk Racing in a red BMW M3 with a black bonnet (car 358)

Full grid! pre-start behind the safety car and rolling start

A bit later in the race…

Those Corvettes are seriously quick – and LOUD  🙂

RaceAtSpa Challenge video

Video clip of the first few laps of the RaceAtSpa One Hour Challenge, taken from the pitwall.

I’m fairly sure that the early part of the video shows the entire field.

I do like the 3-wheeling TVRs around the new “bus-stop” corner onto the pit straight!

Even this early in the race, you can see some of the various battles developing – the Radical vs various TVRs, the production Elises and the MG Midgets.

Sorry there’s not more video, but there were other things to do after this!

Spa – WOW!

What an amazing place the Spa-Francochamps race circuit is! You don’t get the scale of the place, or the gradients, when you see it on TV, even from in-car footage.

A lap is just over 7km
