Optimum Motorsport wins Dramatic 24H Series Battle at Spa-Francorchamps

The second round of the 24H Series took place in the Belgian Ardennes at the iconic Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, where teams faced a demanding 12-hour race split across two days with 5.5 and 6.5 hours of running.

Optimum Motorsport set the tone early by topping the practice sessions and carried that momentum into qualifying, securing pole position. Under sunny skies, the race began with ideal conditions, and the opening half featured intense battles at the front between Optimum Motorsport, Haas RT, GetSpeed, and ComtoYou Racing. Drama struck early as Era Motorsport was forced out after a heavy crash, while a late incident also eliminated ComtoYou’s Pro-Am Aston Martin before the end of day one.

The second day resumed with Optimum Motorsport still in control at the front. The #41 Aston Martin, which had been well positioned, was delayed with a late pit start, losing valuable ground. Attrition continued to shape the race, with setbacks for ARC Bratislava and the GTX contender Vortex, although its sister car went on to secure class victory. A brief rain shower added another twist, catching out the #21 Haas RT entry, which slid off track and dropped out of contention for the overall win.

In the end, Optimum Motorsport delivered a commanding performance to take a well-earned victory. Behind them, the GT3 Pro-Am class produced a thrilling fight to the final corner between Proton Competition and Aijth RedAnt Racing. A post-race time penalty ultimately handed the class win to Proton Competition. Meanwhile, QMMF by HRT Performance continued its remarkable form by claiming a tenth consecutive victory in the 992 AM category.

In a race defined by speed, strategy, and survival, Spa once again proved why it remains one of the most challenging circuits in endurance racing. Optimum Motorsport’s dominant win underlined their strength, but the relentless battles and unpredictable conditions ensured a captivating spectacle from start to finish.
