Spa Classic 2015 – Report and Photos - Sports Car Digest

The Spa Classic 2015 was staged 22-24 May on the 4. 352 mile, 20-turn Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium. The 2015 running of the Spa Classic featured seven grids with more than 250 cars. The eagerly-awaited saloons and coupes in the Heritage Touring Cup reminded the crowd of the halcyon days of the Spa 24 Hours, when, not so long ago, the Belgian endurance classic was reserved for series production cars. The crowd enjoyed more endurance racing with the CER 1 and CER 2 grids as well as the Sixties’ Endurance and the Trofeo Nastro Rosso events, four Peter Auto grids consisting of prototypes and grand touring cars that raced in the Spa 1000 km in... The U2TC brought together cars of under 2-litres built before 1966 similar to those that competed in the early touring car Spa 24 Hours. And finally, the cherry on the cake was the field of Group C prototypes including a remarkable Jaguar XJR-14 from 1991 whose performances have little to envy those of the current crop of LMPs. Similar to 2013 , Senior Photographer Julien Mahiels also documented the Spa Classic 2015, offering the following excellent pictures that show the field of entrants battling the famed Spa circuit.
