BATTICE Belgium, September 22, 2009: It doesn't get much better; 600 historical racing cars at the famous Spa-Franchorchamps racecourse!

A few days before Autumn paints the forests of the Ardennes with multicoloured hues, lovers of splendid classic cars are once again revving on the starting grid of the famous circuit, where before them, legendary racing drivers like Juan Manuel Fangio, Nino Farina, Alberto Ascari, Peter Collins, Tony Brooks, Jack Brabham, Phil Hill and Jim Clark, won the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The track looks like a huge buzzing hive with the supporting staff, officials, mechanics, stewards, suppliersx and the vehicles, trucks and trailersx all busily caught up in a hustle and bustle of activity.

Racing in Francorchamps is already fantastic in itself, racing on machines as prestigious as the mythical Ford GT40, E-Type Jaguar, Bentley 4.5, Chevron B8, Brabham, Lola T70, Ferrari 250LM... borders on an exploit !Exploit, performance, prowess, which can only succeed if some people contribute their -skills, others their knowhow and ingenuity and still others their generosity, dedication and commitment. Added to all that is the overwhelming good will of first-rate men and women, who share a genuine passion.

But the «Spa Six Hours» meeting is also the meeting place of all historic car enthusiasts who share the same passion for motoring history with this year plenty of activities and entertainments for the children and their parents.
