Excellent news! This years Spa 24hrs entry list just keeps on getting bigger and stronger. Even if the works Aston Martin squad dosent come to the Spa 24hrs, which I have no reason to think they wont, the entry list will still be the strongest the Spa 24hrs has seen since it switched to sportscars in 2001.
Its a shame though IMO that we dont get some of our American cousins coming over for the Spa 24hrs, people like the works Corvette team, ACEMCO, AJR, Flying Lizard and Panoz would all be very welcome and would surley do a very good job, not to mention have a chance to be in the lime light and not in the background like at Le Mans. |

A shame there won't be a Lambo on the grid. I don't care if it only lasts a short while, it would be great to see it race at Spa. |

It's a round of FIA GT so Eurosport will do (some?) coverage. Hope the live stream is also available.

Well last year there was around 5 or 6 hours of live coverage, the same kind of Level Le Mans normally gets, now Eurosport 2 is here im hoping for a little more than this.

What is funny imho is that they've put the Aston Martin on the poster, while it isn't confirmed yet and still unsure if it will be in Spa or not. |

Maybe something to put a little persuasion onto the shoulders of Prodrive to compete there - for example, it wouldn't look good on the team's part if they were "expected" to be there by pretty much all the audience, but instead decide to let everyone down by skipping the race... like a sort of psychological prod...?

Could well be Martyn, lets hope that is the case. Would be a big shame if we didnt have the DBR9's at the Spa 24hrs this year.

Nothing on FIA GT website. Let's not forget we have championship races in other series, indeed the FIA GT round at Brno, before we even think about Spa just yet. With races in this championship the entry lists are usually posted around a week or so before the race - likely to be any different with this being quite a big-name race?
