We continue our journey: we can only dream on some rest! Spa-Francorchamps is waiting for us on the second Porsche Carrera Cup France round!
The last year round on this circuit was something special both in French and in Italian Porsche Cup calendars. The joint round of the two series made the viewers very happy: 37 participants, 13 countries, 45 minutes of race – it was very astonishing! Anyway, we have no doubts that Spa-Francorchamps will not give any chance to be bored also this time: there are reasons for many drivers and fans to name this circuit the most interesting in the world!

Oleksandr Gaidai liked Spa very much during the first tests last spring. As far as nobody changed the track configuration from that time, we are sure that our drivers – both Gaidai and Alex Jouannem – will enjoy this race a lot.
The weather forecast promises no rain for this weekend, so the team is preparing slicks: 10 tires for each car for the qualification and both races.
Free practices will take place on Thursday, May 5, at 10 a.m. (local time). On Friday the qualifications before the second Porsche Carrera Cup France start. The first race starts at 2:40 p.m. on May 7, Saturday, and the start of the second half-an-hour race of the weekend is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
