Spa 24 hours 1976



The lower ranks: an immaculate Group 2 Simca for Polak/Wansart/Mathieu. It would retire with engine problems.
Hear, hear! The briefing before the race. On the left, Wisell and Marshall; on the right Zeccoli with Metge on the left in the background.
The Luigi BMW of Dewael/Corbisier. Peltier/Carlier with the Serge Power BMW.
Muir/Nève/Nightingale, Capri II. Blackburn/Crabtree/Tricot in a full Group 2 Capri - one of the few.
A Group 1 Capri II for Spice/Clark. Markey/Palmer/Ochs, Mazda.
Another Mazda, for Vermeulen and Frankenhout; the car would nearly be destroyed when a tyre blew. Marshall and Lanfranchi drove this Vauxhall.
Four beautiful Alfettas, reliable rather than super quick. Still, the #32 car finished second overall with Andruet and "Paco".
Holvoet and van Hove drove this Toyota; they most probably retired.
A bunch of Simcas. A unique Audi 80 1300 Group 2.
One of the Luigi BMW's, which had little luck. And this would be the surprise winner!
There were always Camaros at Spa, it seemed; this one retired, as usual...
Dona/"Pooky" retired.
The Opel Commodore of Guiot/Dumont/Delhaes, which finished 9th overall. The Capri with a star crew of Muir/Nève/Nightingale, DNF
This BMW retired with a blown engine. That's an exotic car indeed. It is the Zastava of Laplume and Meyer, and it retired just like its sister car.
