The Classic Endurance Racing Series is stadily growing, Spa-
Francorchamps 2010 confirms the tendency, pushing the limits of
success even further with 65 cars on the entry list, after 59 in the
previous year.
Letting loose the turbo of his Porsche 936 in the last minutes,
Jean-Marc Luco took the pole position in front of Paul Knapfield
on Ferrari 712. Behind them, their closest pursuers offered great
battles with less than 10 seconds between the 3rd to 24th
positions!
As soon as the lights changed, the two leaders took the measure
of the Ardennes toboggan until Jean-Marc Luco took a spin on
Combes. Falling back to 7th position, he finally had to abandon at
mid race after having climbed back to second position and doing
a lap in 2:25.322. If Knapfield then had a free hand, a few seconds
behind him the Belgian public was able to appreciate a fine fight
between Ludovic Caron (Chevron B21), Kevin Wilkins and Mike
Catlow (Lola T296 Ultramar), Carlos Barbot (Lola T280 HU3) and
Michel Quiniou (Lola T280 HU4) respectively 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
in less than 6 seconds.
After this seventh race on the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, the
season’s third meeting is just around the corner on the famous
Monza circuit next 4, 5 and 6 June. For this third rendezvous, the
Classic Endurance Racing will be at the top of the bill in the
scope of the 58th Coppa InterEuropa Storica.
