This weekend will see the running of the fourth round of the Belcar Championship – at Spa as for Round 3, but instead of racing for 125 minutes around the Ardennes track, we’ll see a 240 minute battle, on Sunday evening.

Both Vipers (GLPK – Kuismanen) are again among the most serious contenders, especially with Vincent Vosse driving in the Kuismanen GTS-R. His V10 experience should pay off. But other Belcar regulars are also chasing a good result. Bert Longin returns to Belcar after having two FIA-GT dates clashing with Belcar weekends. Bert still is the reigning champion and maybe his return brings some good luck for the beautiful GLPK Porsche Biturbo. He tested the car last weekend during a round of the Dutch GT-championship at Zandvoort and won one of the races.

Anthony Kumpen, who became the father of a daughter (Laura) recently – congratulations Anthony - will also return after the same FIA-GT duties. He will race his Viper with Cohen and Dupont.

Other contenders will be the SPR Corvette, the AD and RTM Porsches… RTM actually races a fourth car in order to prepare for the 24 Hours of Spa where they’ll race a 996 GT3-R - driven this weekend by de Gastines, Coenen and Nelissen.

The little Gillet is also preparing for the 24 hours, but has been forced to adapt the engine capacity from a 3.6 to a 3 l Alfa-engine. The FIA allowed the team on the entry list of the 24 hours only if the manufacturer limited the engine capacity to 3 litres. This loss of power will probably drop them down the order a little.
