Pictures

Two production races as support act to the F1 race; the Belgian championship race was on Saturday, an invitation race was held on Sunday; but the entry fees were far too high for many teams, the result: a small entry.
The Sunday race became a procession when Bourgoignie bumped Joosen and himself out of the race.
