Weekend News Notebook – All Star Winners At 24 Hours of Zolder

GT4 America sees record-breaking run from Michael Cooper - Muniz takes first win

Bertrand Baguette, Jonny Edgar, Glenn Van Parijs, Tom Van Rompuy and Laurens Vanthoor took the overall race win at the 2026 24 Hours of Zolder.



The race was brought to an early conclusion with a Red Flag well inside the final hour after a heavy crash between two cars saw a driver (understood to be Maarten Stulens in the #79 BMW) and track marshal require medical assistance.

Both were reportedly released from hospital with no serious injuries.

The race would not restart and the all-star team crewing the #92 NGT Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 cup would take a dominant win.


The race ending incident came after side by side contact between the BMW and the eventual third-place finishing #99 Belgian Racing Porsche Cup car.



Second place went to another Cup Porsche, the #2 ART Racing machine that finished a lap down on the winning #92 car that completed 778 laps.
