Belgian GT racing 2010
On pages http://www.autosport.be there are two series - Belgian GT and Belgian Endurance Championship.
Because Belgian GT changed again i wonder if these two series are merged. Also on the year schedule the first race for Endurance is Zolder- same as the Belgian GT. Are these two series merged into one- Belcar? Or are they just running race together with just separate classification? thanks |

Last year we had 3 major championchips in Belgium: Belgian GT, Belgian Touring Car Series and Dunlop Endurance Cup. The first had GT3 & GT4 regulations, the second is open for nearly every form of touring/silhouette cars. The Dunlop Endurance Cup had VLN-ish regulations with nearly every type of car admitted. Now the Belgian GT & Dunlop Endurance Cup merged to Belcar (yes, the good old Belcar) and the BTCS still exists .

I've read about Dijon BTCS races and wonder why there's no video from that races. Well, it's a national series but there're plenty of makes and lots of cars. I thought if Volvo have come then advertising of the whole BTCS should be greater. I would be glad if someone share some video of that wonderful machinery of top class. And that Scirocco in Martini colours looks amazing!

How well is going that new Jaguar project? Will Thirys be able to get their XF to Spa? And will there be any huge names at 12h race?

Hope we'll be able to see the new Jag Silhouette at the 12 Hours! For the supporting Belcar-race, a third W-Racing Audi R8 LMS will be entered for Bailly and Blanchemain. This car will also enter the final race of the championship, the Zolder 10 Hours . |

Rob Huff joins Radermecker and Vande Poele for the Spa 12 Hours. Radermecker from his side will drive an official Cruze at the WTCC round at Zolder, coming June.

Looks like a good entry list, anyone know if the British GT runners are running to the same rules as the Belgian GT guys this year? Also are the British GT guys running on the Avons for this event like last year or are they able to run a different tyre like the other cars were last year?

Indeed, so effectively we will have 2 classes in GT3 for this race in the same way that we have 2 classes in LMP1 at the moment. Shame.

This sounds fantastic! I knew that British GT were joining up with the Belcar, but didn't realise the Aston GT4 series was as well. I'm pleasantly surprised that nine of those are making the trip.
I'm intrigued, are these the old cars that raced a few years ago? http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...05-07g-076.jpg |

Thanks for the info!
I've always had a soft sport for those GT3 Masers. I wasn't aware there were any examples of them still racing - certainly in Europe. They were never the quickest, but added great variety to the GT3 field and from what I can remember made a glorious sound. |

Round 4 saw a double win for Audi. Longin/Verbist (WRT) are leading the championchip ahead of Kumpen/Franchi (WRT) and Goosens/Soulet (ProSpeed)
