Friday programme at Spa Francorchamps

Although the weather was much milder today (Thursday) than yesterday, it will close in again on Friday. The teams should be on the track tomorrow morning at 10am sharp for the last free practice session lasting an hour, because if weather forecasts are reliable, the rain will make its appearance at lunchtime and persist for the rest of the race weekend.

The two qualifying sessions lasting 20 minutes each, will be held in the afternoon, and could be disrupted by rain. LMGTE Pro and Am are first up, and will start at 15:10 before LMP1 and LMP2 take their turn at 15:40. The drivers with the best times will be invited to a press conference before setting off for the 6 hour race the following day on the 5th May.

Fans can follow the first two races of Speed Series at 13h25 and at 16h20 Radical Masters and can also enjoy the many activities of the paddock, such as the Ferris wheel and the "Fan Area" located at Eau Rouge.
