Spa-Francorchamps, April 25th, 1998
| The most beautiful
circuit? |
 |
Spa-Francorchamps in eastern
Belgium, one of the most beautiful circuits in
the world, will be once again the site of the
10th "Spa Ferrari Days" on May 1-3,
1998.
| Already ten years |
|
Ten years ago, the Ferrari Club
Luxembourg initiated the first "Ferrari
Days" at Spa-Francorchamps. The event was a
success, and both the Club Ferrari Belgio and the
Royal Automobile Club of Belgium took over the
organization of the event in the following years.
Since then, the Spa Ferrari Days did always
attract many hundred Ferrari-owners each year,
plus several thousands of fans and tifosi. The
event became so successful and popular that in
our days even the Belgian Procar touring-car
series and the Renault Mégane Cup form a part of
the interesting programme.
| An interesting programme |
|
Likewise as in the foregoing years,
there will be several Ferrari-categories to be
seen on the track: One will see the F355
Challenge Series "West" (consisting of
participants from France, the UK and the BeNeLux
countries), the so-called "Ferrari Class
A" (gentleman drivers, cars fitted with road
tyres) and "Ferrari Class B" (gentleman
drivers, cars fitted with racing tyres) and last
but not least one will have the opportunity to
watch the first 1998 heats of the "Ferrari
Shell Historical Challenge". The turnout
of cars in this category will be sensational at
this event according to the list of
participants which has been released by
Ferrari recently.
Friday and Saturday morning will see
the drivers of all classes practicing on the
track, while the various races will take place on
Saturday in the afternoon and on Sunday. And of
course, there will be many Ferrari to be seen in
the separate parking areas in the paddock.
Usually, the Belgian importer, Garage
Francorchamps SA, has several cars on display as
well. So, the "Spa Ferrari Days" 1998
will be a 'must' for Ferraristi.
See
you in Spa !
