Spa spectators undaunted by bad weather

31.000 spectators braved the changable weather that is so typical of Spa, to attend the WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps where they were treated to an exciting race that saw the victory of the new Audi R18 Ultra. Many other activities for the whole family (mostly free) were available in the paddock, including concerts, stunt shows, a Ferris wheel, bouncy castles, a "Fan Area", and an area with racing simulators.

The rain and cold of early morning gave way to warmer conditions in the daytime, allowing all spectators on the circuit to enjoy the activities on track, but also a fireworks display at the finish.
