Today from 6 p.m., more than 260 cars will converge on Spa town centre for the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa Parade
Autograph sessions with the drivers and various activities are on the program.
Free of charge, the event brings fans and actors together like nowhere else.
Symbolically, the Parade marks the true launch of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. Over the years, it has become a must-see for anyone wanting to fully experience the world's greatest GT race.
As in previous years, the superb Parc de Sept Heures, a green oasis in the heart of the city of Spa, will be the nerve center of this free event for spectators.
From 3 p.m., SiBE, the resident DJ of the GT World Challenge, will be on site to keep the atmosphere lively. Fans will also find various shops where they can purchase their entry tickets, the event program (84 pages of information and interviews), as well as official merchandise from the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, the GT World Challenge powered by AWS, and the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit.
Media partners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Sudinfo and RTBF, will also be present, and children will be welcomed at the Auvio Kids stand. A photo booth will allow fans to take home a picture, and Monster Energy will be distributing samples of its energy drinks, including the famous VR46 Zero Sugar cans in Valentino Rossi's colors. Finally, an ice cream vendor will also be on hand to provide a welcome touch of coolness during this summer season.
At 6 p.m., all the cars participating in the 24 Hours and the support races will take the national road linking the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit and the town center of the spa town. They will be escorted by numerous Supercars, Safety Cars, and official team cars to form an impressive convoy of more than 260 racing or prestige vehicles.
Lined along the route, thousands of spectators will cheer on the drivers in a truly unique atmosphere. In the city center, the cars will be lined up in the shade of the trees in the Parc de Sept Heures and on the Place Royale.
In addition to being present near their car, the drivers will participate in an autograph session from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. This will take place in the shade of the majestic Leopold II Gallery, which is part of Wallonia's exceptional heritage.
The drivers will answer questions from the presenters on stage before heading to the drivers' briefing, which will be held at 8 p.m. in the Spa Casino. At 9 p.m., the drivers will get back into their cars and the convoy will make the return journey to the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit.
This connection between fans and drivers is a hallmark of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. Starting Thursday, spectators can experience this atmosphere at the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit with Pit Walks, three musical evenings of "Nights of Spa," the Fan Village with entertainment, a Ferris wheel, simulators, exclusive Supercar exhibitions, and more.
