24H of Spa, H+17 – 12 cars in the same lap 7 hours from the finish

Among the unfortunate heroes of the start of the race, the McLaren #59 of Garage 59, whose Marvin Kirchfföfer had taken pole. At the start of the race, this car had led for a long time before experiencing problems. On the side of Comtoyou, the winning team last year, it was a grimace. Not only did theAston Martin 007 of Drudi, Sorensen and Thiim had been parked for a long time (broken transmission) but the other three green cars were also absent this Sunday morning. The same observation for Maxime Martin whose Mercedes-AMG had started from the 3^e place on the grid on Saturday. The Boutsden VDS team withdrew definitively a few hours later with the retirement of the second Mercedes. For Jules Gounon too, on the Getspeed Mercedes AMG, the mechanics had failed during the night

At this stage of the 24 Hours of Spa, 12 cars were still on the same lap. Despite a strategy error linked to one of the many race neutralizations (under Full Course Yellow), many observers were counting on the Ferrari 50 (at the time of writing, Arthur Leclerc occupied the 7^e place) and 51 to finish the event in style. Unless the Aston Martin entered by Verstappen.com, whose owner has been following the progress since the Austrian GP, ​​does not appear among the teams entered in the Pro Cup. Also among the nice surprises, the BMW M4 #46 of Valentino Rossi pointed at 9^e position. The exceptional relays of René Rast and Kevin Magnussen are not strangers to it.
