SUMMARY
Sam wheel spins at the start, looses the advantage of pole position to Ronnie and he has to slot into third position behind Evil Clive. On lap 2 Sam used the power of the Eagle to squeeze past Clive on the run down to Masta but the complement is returned at La Source on lap 4 when Clive got the better of Sam in the drag race down towards the line. In fact Sam spun his car and lost third place to Natan. At mid race Evil Clive blew up his Ferrari engine but Ronnie continued on imperiously to a convincing victory. Sam was involved in several incidents but managed to recover to finish in a hard fought second place. Bob Whitwell claimed the final place on the podium after a very eventful drive from last place after he had spun his Eagle on the start line.

Lap 1 - Stavelot to La Carriere - David Rainier and Bob Whitwell
Bob gets a good run at David out of Stavelot and as they approach the second kink on the way to La Carriere, Bob goes for a pass on the inside. There is enough room and Bob has plenty of overlap at turn-in but contact is made and David is punted off.
Neither driver did anything wrong. There was enough room but warp intervened and David was very unlucky to be punted off.

Lap 7 - Blanchimont - Sam Blood and Natan Veksler

Lap 8 - Malmedy - Phil Thornton, Natan Veksler and Sam Blood
Phil gets out of shape over the crest at Malmedy and spins out into the hedge. Natan is following and although no contact is made on the server he is punted off by warp. The hapless Natan is then collected by Sam who is desperately trying to avoid the two stricken Eagles, one on each side of the track.
None of the drivers did anything wrong. Natan was very unlucky to be affected by warp and Sam did his best to avoid the spinning cars but contact with one or the other was unavoidable. All the drivers were able to continue but Natan had ended up over the hedge and lost a lot of time driving on the grass trying to find a way back onto the circuit.

Lap 12 - L'Eau Rouge - Bartosz Antoszczyszy and Dean Logan
Dean gets L'Eau Rouge all wrong and ends up cart wheeling down the edge of the track. As Bartosz emerges from the top of L'Eau Rouge he is presented by a Ferrari blocking his way and it is impossible for him to avoid contact. Both cars are destroyed and are out of the race.
