Spa 24 Hour 2016 - Entry List. Free entrance for spectators, Live web coverage

[Nick Roads]

So far 74 entrants for the Spa 24 Hour which I think is a record, ignoring the 100 car start when the Funcups ran a 6 hour race concurrently.

18 UK based teams going:

4 x UK 2CV Club class 602 cars: MIM Racing 1 and 2, Rosie Racing and Jelly Snake

4 x UK 2CV Hybrid cars: Crisis Too and Crisis Fore, Gadget and Tete Rouge

4 x UK Mini 1275 cars; Toyshed, Maxed, Misfits and Slarky Malarky

6 x UK Citroen C1 cars: Rent Boys 1, Mission MotorSports 1 and 2, Match Racing (from Holland) 1 and 2, Bridge to Gantry (UK team based in Germany)

Rosie will be trying to make it 3 wins at Spa for them in the standard UK Racing Club class. Club class cars are similarly paced to the Belgian Ameliorees and hopefully will continue to finish higher than them.

Crisis Too qualified and finished in the Top 20 last year and hopefully at least one of the UK hybrids will match that in 2016. As Crisis Too has Alec Graham and Pete Sparrow along with Caryl Wills in it this year has to be the favourite. Gadget and Tete Rouge running cars in Hybrid mode for the first time at any race meeting.

The leading mini was 10th last year and with their 1275 engine expected to be a similar pace to UK hybrid, C1 and the Belgian prototypes.

Entrance to the weekend is free - you need a pass for vehicles to enter the Paddock.

2CV parade lap is scheduled for 1140
Race start 1230
