The SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS 24hr and ETTC races trip
or BMW GTR V8 SPA-FEST or How long is the RACE?
28th July to 4th August 2004
2004 Spa-Francorchamps 24hr race
For the second year I arrange for a group of BMW Car Club members to spend a week on a busy outing in Belgium and Germany.
The following report will give you a flavour of our excellent trip.
BMW M3 GTR's arrive in SPA , and for the second year so do BMW Car Club (GB) South East Region group arrive for the Spa-Francorchamps 24hr race and two rounds of the ETCC championship.
We arrive at Ann and Neils and BMW M3 GTR's in Spa town centre
Wednesday 28th July
After our group meeting up the night before near Dover, we all board our 7am ferry. As our convoy, which consisted of, myself and Tony Pratt in my coupe, following behind Glen and Pauline Wells and Sarah and Jimmy in Glen’s E30 convertible, next inline Wessex region members Rex Fryatt and Paul Dadswell in Paul’s ZM Coupe, and bringing up the rear, Tony Calvert and Selwyn Frostick in Tony’s Z M Roadster. As we leave the port at Calais two French Motorcycle policemen follow us, but having been warned by letter from Sea –France that British motorist are being targeted, we keep to the speed limit and they finally leave us alone. We arrive at our base for the week at 2pm. There to greet us are Ann and Neil Leigh, who run a B&B in a quiet village Moulin du Ruy, 10 minutes from Spa-Francorchamps. And David Brentnall, who had been out the week before, viewing the Cyclists on the Tour de France and now joins us on our holiday. We settle in and at 6pm we make our way to SPA Town center, as last year the GT cars and drivers are in the SPA Town center and just after 7pm they drive up to the circuit. This is a really monumental task for the BMW Motorsport team of Schnitzer Motorsport, The GTR’s had been in Liège at midday to promote the race and had to be brought to SPA and not forgetting the team also had the ETCC BMW’s at the SPA track to look after. When we arrive some of the GT cars were still on their transporters waiting to be unloaded. The number 143 BMW M3 GTR was just being rolled off the truck, only, the front spoiler hit the ramps and it only moved down when a dozen or so fans hopped up on the truck and jumped up and down with one falling into the road. This year they started the cars of one at a time, not like last year where they were lined up grid fashion. But the sight and sound of the GT cars making their way down the narrow streets is worth the trip alone. After all the cars had gone we make our way to a nearby Italian restaurant for a meal.

Thursday 29th July
After breakfast we make our way to Poteau to visit a museum that Neil has told us about. The only thing he did not tell us it did not open until 1pm, but hearing us outside, the owner Rob de Ruyter came out and after mentioning Neil had sent us, he said he would open up for our group. As Rex Fayatt said "you get in anywhere if you use the N&A card”. After paying our 4€’s, Rob explained the history of the area, Poteau was on the border between Belgium and Germany until 1919. The main museum is housed in a customhouse built in 1880. But, it is mainly known for the ambush to The 14th Cavalry Group, of the American Army in WW11. On the 18th December 1944, third day of The Battle of the Bulge, at just after 7.30am, 14th Cavalry group was ordered back to Recht to cover the flank of the 7th Armoured Division. As they travelled down the Poteau-Recht road, after 500yards they ran straight into an ambush by the 1st SS Panzer Division. After the battle which was very one sided as the Americans had no idea that the Germans were so far west already. Vehicles and provisions fell into German hands. Along with the Panzer division were “Kriegsberichers” who took the very famous pictures and newsreels of the battle and aftermath. One of the many photographs is of a German soldier smoking American cigarettes, which has appeared in many books. After we had looked at the exhibits and we were having a cup of tea, Rob offered us a trip in one of the two half-tracks he has at the museum. We would have to take the American half-track as the German one he was repairing. So we hand over 10€ each to pay for the fuel and we were soon of on a tour of the battlefield. Rob stopped right by the roadside at the ambush spot, where he had erected a board with photographs and explanation of what took place, nearby was a memorial to the Americans who lost their lives in 1944 attack. Back into the halftrack and we head across the field back to the museum buildings. So if you are in the area, do make a trip Poteau and take the tour as the privately owned museum of Jacqueline & Rob de Ruyter it is well worth a visit.
We visit Ardennen Poteau '44 Museum and take a ride in a halftrack
We set off to Stavelot for lunch and to visit the Spa-Francorchamps motor museum. The museum is situated beneath the Abbey. There is a fine display of F1 and Touring cars, one being the British Touring Car BMW of Johnny Cecotto.
Then it is back to Moulin du Ruy for the evening meal, and then set of to the track to watch the GT night practice. There has been around £25 million spent on improvements to the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, so that they can keep the F1 race at SPA. We head up to Combes to watch as we did last year. The first of the improvements were soon noticed as they had placed a safety fence where we had viewed before, and the view down to the exit of Rivage was also hampered by the fence, so we head down to Pouhon and because of the bank we are on, the view is unrestricted! And it is a great point where the BMW M3 V8 GTR’s give out the flamethrower from the exhausts . Some of our group head to the entry point to Rivage corner and it is a good point to see the brake disks glow cherry red as the brakes are applied. Night Practice finished at 11.30pm.
Friday 30th July
Our Group visit the Museum at La Glaize
Up with the sound of the local wildlife, sorry I mean the noise of Selwyn clearing his lungs as he puts on the coffee machine. We set out to the La Glaize museum where we have a group photograph taken by a local outside by the Tiger Tank. Inside we are informed the film in English starts in 20 minutes. So again it is 4€’s to enter, and while making our way around we keep an ear on the film sound track. We settle down in the cinema and before the opening credits have finished Selwyn is fast asleep! Not only did the film show the devastation around La Glaize and surrounding area during the Battle of the Bugle, it also had film and pictures of the ambush at Poteau, where we had visited the day before.
Next is on to the racetrack. We travel along some of the old racetrack and park up by Stavelot corner to view GT practice. The weather is very hot, but as the song goes “mad dogs an English goes out in the midday sun”, After watching the GT practice at Stavelot corner we walk to the 24 hr village to check out the stalls. I purchased three different limited prints of BMW Touring cars at the SPA race from over the years. We then go over to the pit area for a light lunch and cold drinks. I check in with BMW Team Great Britain, which is run by Racing Bart Mampaey (RBM). Our group meets team owner and manager Bart Mampaey as I finalise our visit details to RBM on Tuesday after the race. Bart explained to the group “that the 40kgs Andy is carrying due to his win at the Donington race will hurt him at this track even though we have home advantage on the first practice, the type of track Spa is with long straights works against the team” . As we check the other ETCC pits we spot the Nurburgring 24hr BMW M3 V8 GTR winning car on display at the back of AC Schnitzer pit area.
Time to head back to our cars and make our way to Ann and Neil’s for the Evening meal and a well-earned drink.

Saturday 31st July
Race day, if you think your job keeps you busy, just take a moment to take on board what the BMW contracted drivers had to do over the five days of this event. Andy Priaulx, Kurt Mollekens, Dirk Muller, Jorg Muller and Antonio Garcia are entered not only in the two European Touring Car Championship races driving the E46 BMW 320i, but also in the 24hr race driving the BMW M3 V8 GTR’s. So with Promotion, Autograph sessions, Qualifying both type of cars, night practice and then the races, it’s a busy day at the office.
We make our way to Proximus Privilege Lounge next to BMW Bel-Lux Hospitality at Eau Rouge, we check in and except our gift and the welcome drink. Out in the viewing balcony you can see further “improvements” as the gravel trap up the hill from Eau Rouge to Raidillon is now a high grip tarmac area. The weather is very, very hot and we are sitting in a suntrap. We watch the two ETCC races.
South East Region Support BMW ETCC cars
At 1.30pm there is a pit lane walk and our Rouge wristband let us cross the track and into the GT pit lane. The red band is also our entry to the Proximus toilets, and as club members may be aware toilets at Belgian racetracks are very rare, but the trees are aplenty!
BMW GTR leaves pits
At the Start of the 24hr GT raceall the umbrellas on the balcony were lowered so all the guests could have a good view from our privileged position. After about an hour Pauline asked, “How long is the Race?” and when told! With a large amount of ribbing, she replied, “how do the drivers go to the toilet?” Where are the men in white coats when you need them?
The NEW BMW M5 on display
During the day members of our group take a walk around the track and into the BMW Bel-Lux Hospitality next door as they have a 6 series outside, but inside is the New V10 M5 on display
BMW M3 V8 on the Kemmel straight
Tony and myself head up Kemmel to watch the GT cars reach their highest speed on the straight before braking for Combes.
After evening meal it was back to the track to watch the race into the night, most of the group left just as the firework display was taking place at midnight.
Sunday 1st August
At breakfast during our now familiar conversation on Cyclists and “ping” cooking we check up on the GT race on Eurosport TV. Number 143 BMW out during the night did not look good for BMW. As we leave the cars in our secret parking space and start to walk to the track a Landrover stops and asks if we are going to the race and do you want a lift. We pile in and the driver and passenger work for Proximus hospitality, so they drive right into the pit area (N&A card works again).
We make our way to the SuperCar show, which is on display in the pit area, on show are arrange of very nice motors, Alpina and AC Schnitzer Z4’s, BMW 6 series, SLR-McLaren, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini to name a few.
Watching the cars enter the new Bus Stop layout on the track, with the new “improvements” it is now a really slow entrance to the Bus Stop and again high grip tarmac no gravel trap. Neil explained that the "24hr bike race due to take place at SPA has been cancelled this year due to the track being unsafe for Motorcycle racing" . The high grip tarmac is no good for slowing down a sliding bike and rider.
Again the weather is hot, but not as hot as the temper gauge on the tower is displaying +50c! When the read out moves it reads +30c. Our group take lunch in the Proximus Privilege Lounge and just before the end of the race we head up to La Source to see the cars close up together for the chequered flag.

In the evening we walk down to the local Cafe for a strong Belgian beverage, after partaking of the strong beer in the rear garden, it was time to once again stroll through the village, this time passing the Ostriches.
The Beer Works !!!
We had so much fun by the time we went to the Museum it was closed, will have do the museum first next year. We sat and had a cold drink, yes it was still boiling hot, overlooking the main straight of the F1 circuit. After a walk around the pit area and to the BMW Test center to check out the cars on display, it was back to the cars. On the way out from Nurburgring Neil directed us along some roads that were once part of the Sudschleife track. We stopped and walked though some hedgerow, and there before us was part of the original racetrack.
Monday 2nd August
Today we head to Germany; the morning is spent at Kohl-AC Schnitzer in Aachen. As we are looking around the dealership, the AC V8 Topster, which was in the SuperCar show at Spa, is driven into the car park.
Then we head to the Nurburgring for an afternoon on the Nordschleife. Neil directs us to Adenau for lunch. You can eat your food outside the restaurant and see part of the Nordschleife , also you can join the track here, but you only get half a lap for 14€’s.
After lunch it is time for some fun and we head off to car park and prepare for some laps, Neil joins me and he gives me the pace notes for the Nordschleife. Glen and Pauline are in the back. The plan is to video Tony and Paul in their cars from my rear facing video camera; Tony would video me from his forwarded facing camera. Well, as we arrive at the barrier the marshal spots the video mount and asks us to switch it off, as for this year videoing on the public days at the Nordschleife is not allowed. As we wait for Tony with Selwyn in his Z Roadster and Paul with Rex in his ZM coupe the camera is switched back on!
As we drive the historic racetrack, I have to slow down to let the Tony catch up; and it seems take ages for my little 320i to build up speed up the hill. Around the lap Paul overtakes Tony and then me, looks good on video. Then we come across a motorcyclists waving us down, a motorcyclist has come off. As we arrive back the camera is switched off. Next time out Neil goes with Paul, Tony takes Sarah out, and we finally have a hairdresser in the hairdresser’s car ( only joking Tony ). Next time I go out, I have Jimmy and Ann in the back. As I pass the barrier to go on to the track, there are three cars stopped on the side switching on their video cameras. Tony takes out Tony P. and so by the time we have finished every body in the group has been around the Nordschleife.
Our BMWs on the Nurburgring
Tuesday 3rd August
We take to the motorway and head for the Brussels ring road and take the exit sign posted E19 to Antwerpen. On this motorway we take exit number 10 Mechelen Zuid, because this where the Juma .n.v BMW Dealership and RBM workshop are located. Mr Bart Mampaey team manager and owner of Racing Bart Mampaey kindly agreed to show us around not only the RBM workshops, but also the family owned dealership. Entering the dealership car park just after 11am we are met by Bart and he shows us into the main dealership showroom where he has arrange for cold drinks, yes it is still hot, and on one of the tables he has placed photograph albums , containing pictures of Juma racing at Spa.
An abridged version of Bart’s working experience is as follows: He worked for his parent’s team between 1975-1986 ( 3 times winner of the 24 hours of Spa, 5 times second ). Then he worked for various teams until 1995 when it was the creation of own team: RBM nv called Juma racing. Team manager and owner of the BMW Compact Cup for BMW Belgium, 10 cars tuned and serviced by the team for BMW guest drivers. Other BMW highlights are, 1998: Official BMW Fina Bastos Team by Juma racing: 1st and 4th place overall with BMW 320i in the 24 hours of Spa. 2001: Track engineer for Team BMW Motorsport (Schnitzer Motorsport) in ALMS on BMW V8 GTR. Then in 2002: Team manager and owner BMW Team Belgium in the ETCC with Fredrik Ekblom. 2003/4: Team manager and owner BMW Team Great Britain in the ETCC with Andy Priaula and five races with BMW Team Belgium-Luxembourg in ETCC with Kurt Mollekens in 2004.
Our Group visit RBM team workshops and JUMA BMW Dealership.
We are shown around by Team owner and manager Bart Mampaey
Time was moving on and Bart kindly invited us to lunch at a nearby restaurant. The restaurant is named Baron Van Zon; it is where the team go to celebrate their wins. Bart translated the Dutch menu; he then answered questions from club members, told us some insider information and enquired about our club. After the excellent lunch we went back to the dealership and after saying THANK YOU to Bart Mampaey we made our way back to Ann and Neil’s.
After we had looked though the albums and refreshed ourselves. Bart took us through to the workshops where both the ETCC BMW’s were stripped out after the Spa ETCC races. He explained that the two euro wooden pallets on the floor were the size of the packing cases that the team have to fit in the gear for transportation to the fly away race in Dubai on 8th October, which is the last race of the season. He explained that next year when the European Touring Car Championship changes to the World Touring Car Championship there would be more fly away races to contend with. We had picked a correct time to visit, as there was not another ETCC race until 5th September at Imola. So within the month some of the seven (yes seven) teams members of RBM will be on holiday. Bart explained that there are only seven team members, and the parts manager of the dealership deals with the team’s parts, and an extra secretary in the dealership also helps the team out. That’s what I call being cost effective. Peter Walker, BMW GB Motorsport manager, who Bart said, “he has a very good working relationship with” must be happy with that. Bart explained in fine detail the ins and outs of the ETCC BMW. He pointed out that Eau Rouge at Spa causes the cracks on the window screen; they do not change the window screen, as it will always crack because of Eau Rouge! They work closely with Du Pont, the paint makers who are next door, and they have developed a way of blast drying the paintwork which extracts more of the water out of the water based paint. Therefore making it lighter. He show how they strip out everything they are allowed to take out, to make the car lighter. On Andy’s car, he showed us where the 40kgs was placed. It is split, some in the front passenger side and some is fixed in the boot. He takes along a file when it is being weighted by the FIA, as heat affects the weight, and gets it within .001 by filing it in front of them. As soon as the weight has been placed on the car where it gives the correct balance it is sealed by the FIA, and the seals were still on the weights as Bart pointed out. He pointed out the computer terminals and the one the FIA can plug in their computer to check everything is to the rules. And like drug testing on sportsman they can turn up at any time during the race weekend. The engines are sent back to BMW Motorsport and are sealed by the FIA when they return. BMW is unusual for not only for being the only rear wheel drive car in the championship, it still has the H pattern gear change.
Wednesday 4th August
Time to pack up and head from home. We say thank you and our goodbyes to Ann and Neil for being great hosts, and book us in for next year. On the trip back we head to the Euro Space Center, which is near St Hubert next to junction 24 on the E411 Namur-Luxembourg autoroute. As we make our way to the Space Center, we travelled along the N86 and passing though Marche-en Famenne, we stop at the a petrol station, that is also the local BMW dealership, on looking around the showroom there is a 2002 with The BMW World Tour rally plates still on it . At the Space center we take the one-hour tour and the star wars type ride, which you end up in a space -race. This is one of the films, where the seats move in conjunction with the action. After lunch at the centre, we leave around 2pm. We make good time and arrive in time to catch our 6.30pm ferry. On board the ferry our group say our farewells and time to hit the M25!
Our Group visit the Eruo Space Museum

Spa ETTC race 1
Dirk Müller wins hard fought first round Lap for lap they battled and at the end it was Dirk Müller who was able to get his nose ahead of his team mate Jörg Müller to win the first race in Spa-Francorchamps. Jörg Müller got the perfect start from pole and led the first lap with Dirk behind him and Andy third, having been able to get by the SEAT of Jordi Gené. However, behind them there was chaos as the cars left the grid with Alex Zanardi (BMW Team Italy-Spain) being pushed into the barrier after being hit by the Alfa Romeo of Fabrizio Giovanardi. “They all wanted my bit of tarmac,” he commented. This accident also saw the SEAT of Rickard Rydell damaged and the organisers gave Kurt Mollekens (BMW Team Belgium-Luxembourg) a drive through penalty for causing what they considered an avoidable accident, although he defended himself vehemently as he said all his damage was due to cars hitting him from behind. On lap two the lead changed when Dirk passed his team-mate, and stayed there until the chequered flag. Andy also had a skirmish with Jörg, which saw him take to the grass. The front four formed a close train with never more than fractions of a second separating any two drivers. Starting behind the German Production Championship cars didn’t seem to present Tom Coronel with too many problems as he went from 33rd on the grid to 13th at the end of lap one. However, he could not make up the extra places so the Independents class was won by Salvatore Tavano in his Alfa Romeo.

Jörg Müller wins second race The second race in Belgium was packed full of excitement. After an amazing catch-up phase Jörg Müller made it onto the top step of the podium. It was the Alfa Romeo of Agusto Farfus Jr that started the race from pole and from the moment the lights went out he was in the limelight for the wrong reasons. He squeezed Antonio Garcia onto the grass as the cars left the grid, receiving a caution via a black and white flag for his behaviour. However, when he blatantly pushed Jörg onto the grass later in the race he was immediately given a drive through penalty. This meant that at the end of lap four Jörg was able to take the lead. Dirk was storming through the field from seventh on the grid and by lap five it was the two BMW Team Deutschland cars in front again. Antonio also had a great drive into third claiming afterwards that his car was so strong he felt he could have won the race. Andy made a good start but dropped back after flat spotting his tyres on the first lap.
Tom Coronel made the most of the places he gained in race one and not only won the Independents trophy class but also finished sixth.

24hrs Spa
Team BMW Motorsport takes class win At Spa
After an eventful 24 hour race at Spa the BMW M3 GTR car number 142 has won the Group 2 class for Team BMW Motorsport, while in the overall standings it finished sixth.
The German trio of Jörg Müller, Dirk Müller and Hans-Joachim Stuck showed their fighting spirit over the 525 laps they completed, and did not let technical problems discourage them. At one point the team, who won the recent Nürburgring 24 Hour Race, dropped as low as 28th but managed to fight their way back up the order.
The second BMW M3 GTR car number 143, driven by Andy Priaulx, Pedro Lamy, Kurt Mollekens and Antonio Garcia was on course for a podium finish until shortly before the halfway mark. At 3.51am Garcia had to retire his 500bhp GT sports car due to electrical problems while lying third.
“I am impressed with the fighting spirit of the drivers and the team,” said BMW Motorsport Director, Mario Theissen, “There were occasions when the BMW M3 GTR was setting the fastest lap times. This proves the car’s good performance in this particular race. Unfortunately some unexpected problems hit us again and again. The car was developed for short distance races and, therefore, has proved more difficult to service in longer events.”
Car number 142 had to overcome several challenges in the Ardennes. The Team BMW Motorsport crew, under the guidance of Team Manager, Charly Lamm, had hardly any time to take a breather. Tyre difficulties at the beginning of the race, a broken oil pipe and problems with the ignition were solved by the crew over the course of the marathon. Despite spending a total of 92 minutes in the pits for unscheduled repairs, Dirk Müller, Jörg Müller and Hans-Joachim Stuck fought back after each stop. The fact only 22 competitors out of the 42 starters crossed the finish line is proof of how tough the conditions have been on both men and machines here in Spa, where the day time temperatures were as high as 30 degrees.
With this result the tally for BMW at the Spa 24 Hours remains at 21 outright victories since the race was first held in 1924. The most recent BMW victory was for Alain Cudini, Marc Duez and Eric Van de Poele in 1998 in a BMW 320i.
