Regulations

Changes in effect since 2012

After the number of starters decreased, a discussion about the future of the race began. They even thought about taking a break from the race. But the still enthusiastic Belgian spectators prompted instead new, more open regulations. The 'Special Open Trophy' in particular is new and unique in a 24-hour race, where Lotus-Seven and CN prototypes start. The open GT class ensures the participation of stronger vehicles.
