07h36 – 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps – BMW leaves at the head of an eventful night

While it remains a little less than ten hours of race, BMW is leading the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps Sunday at the time of daybreak. Fertile in race facts, the night was interrupted during ninety minutes following a violent exit. As usual, the night of the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps was very animated. The race was even interrupted for almost ninety minutes after a violent accident at the Raidillon between a Bentley and a Lamborghini, the pilots having been extracted from their vehicle and taken to the medical center of the circuit. Some favorites have seen their hope fly away, including Belgian Maxime Martin and Maxime Soulet. Martin's Aston Martin had to make a premature brake pad change and is now two laps behind the head. It was worse for Maxime Soulet (Bentley), who hooked a competitor, losing five laps in the adventure. Wittmann / Krohn / Collard (All-Fin-GBR), the Ortelli / Siedler / Paltalla Lexus (Mon-Aut-Fin) and alternator worries that led to the Porsche Manthey of Dumas / Makowiecki / Werner (Fra-Fra-All). The Eng / Blomqvist / Krognes BMW (Aut-GBR-Nor) leads the race in front of the Pepper / Kane / Gounon Bentley (Afs-GBR-Fra) and the amazing Parry / Ordonez / Buncombe Nissan (GBR-Esp-GBR). Among the Belgians still fighting for the win, Frédéric Vervisch (Audi) is seventh in the leader's lap while Laurens Vanthoor (Porsche) is tenth in a lap. (Belga)
