Forecast rain at around 10 pm so we may escape.
Checking again at midday
Ten Tenth people throughout grid from 8th backwards
Quickest I can see is 2 46 by Andy and Michael in GT 40 followed by 2.49 with 2 litre Elva BMW
A Elan at 2.50 is indecently quick
We decided that we would have got on back of grid with Pre War Talbot that did 3.24 in their qually and probably finish higher than all our fancy cars at front as it was built to last six hours.

Anyone know of any live stream for the event?

Looks like all the 10thers finished, well done to all.

Great result from the Elva, grumpy Irishman might even crack a smile?!

Ditto that.

Cracking results, especially the Elva which looked like it had a couple of extra stops at one point.

Melodramatic day
Fuel cap came open on first lap. Flagged into
Pits and lost minutes Left way behind in 78 place
Chauffeurs then pulled fingers out but got done for track limits
First a drive through then a minute stop and go.
Didn’t help Michael Birch’s mood!
Nick Minassian and Richard Bradley then did a brilliant drive and eventually finished eighth overall
First small engined car home after those eight cylinder American engineer things! Twice the capacity of the little car
Michael B let them get on with it whilst e played in another car.

Shame they were not driving F3 UK championship John,the drivers are allowed to drive two off as long as they don't get the inside wheels over the track limit line!
What kind of driving is that!!!

Took the words right out of my mouth, best result yet for the Elva. It's been a challenging project!

A couple of pics from Saturday. Congratulations to the entire 10/10s contingent on a job well done. I particularly enjoyed the view of the rear of the Elva, quite often!

I believe Gilbert is getting a well deserved rest before next season.

Was good to see Eddie V and of course our old mate Dinkel, who popped over for Friday Qualifying. Peter Baker has some great pictures of many cars including Gilbert.

Honoured to receive a visit from JR and Michael on Saturday morning.

Couldn't have done it without Iain, Mary and David with special mention for Stewart Rowley.

If it was me I would be a lot harsher on track limits . Cars were going right if the track on entry to Blanchemant . It’s a joke . I got disqualified at Brands a few years ago for doing same thing at Graham Hill .

The weekend was brilliant just brilliant . Not sure I can drive two cars again in 6 hour unless get a good rest and two cups of tea in between . Fantastic team mates a d all the pit crew . Mike would of approved . . We have had a delay at Calais filling in PLF form but got there in the end . So good to be back at Spa with good mates . Happy days and looking forward to 2022. I’m going to build the biggest pit board with flashing lights and numbers for next year .

Spa always used to be pretty strict Iain.
Was appalled by a young f3 drivers antics on his first training laps at Spa .young lad only just turned 17,no car license but he had passed on a simulator!
BRDC F3 championship drivers??xxxxing joke!

[john ruston]

I would have thought the small penalties for cars overtaking under safety car were more relevant than track limits

The Elva at Les Combes on Saturday at 16.55 hrs.

[john ruston]

That bank of lights really worked!

Like the personalised registration number, John. And surely those lights must have cost you a bit of pace with the lack of aero on them.

[john ruston]

The bank of lights actually helped!
We didn’t understand it either!
Chris Amon used it as his road car after it’s racing career.

The Gilbern was a heroic entry and every time i came across it, its was been driven to the limit, flat out! Lovely to share a garage with you all, it made the race a much more enjoyable affair.

[Peter Mallett]

Really enjoyed sharing with your team. You have a great bunch of guys. Also the driving was excellent. In qually Fred made sure he didn't carve me up when he came up behind me at Stavelot, gave me space and then floored it and disappeared towards Blanchiment.

[justracing]

The Elva is simply gorgeous.

[Guus]

The Gilbern at Les Combes !

[Peter Mallett]

Excellent shot, had a good dice with those cars until the puncture.

Who had the big spin at Blanchimont?!

Enjoyable 6 hours as always and I think slightly less cars helped with keeping the incidents down.

The oil that went down from La Source to Eau Rouge definitely woke me up!

T'was me. Got on a greasy kerb whilst trying not to get hit by an E Type. The first two cars went past no problem but whoever it was in the Jaguar decided he was driving a javelin.
