The '''1000 km Spa''' is an [[Endurance racing (motorsport)|endurance race]] for [[Sports car racing|sports cars]] held at [[Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps]] in Belgium. | |||
== History == | |||
The [[Spa 24 Hours]] had been introduced in 1924, and other races followed. As on the [[Nürburgring]], both a 24h race for touring cars and GTs is held, and an endurance race for sports cars and GTs. The 500 km race at Spa counted towards the [[World Sportscar Championship]] from 1963 onwards. Since 1966, it is run for 1000 km, following the [[1000km Nürburgring]] and [[1000km Monza]]. Due to safety problems on the traditional long and very fast 14 km track over public roads, the race was shortened to 762 km in 1974 and discontinued after 1975. | |||
The 1000 km race was resumed in 1982 after the track was made safer by shortening it to 7 km. In 1989 and 1990, the race distance was lowered to 480 km as a rule change required the use of [[Formula One]]-derived engines that last no longer. Due to the decline of the WSC, the "1000km" was discontinued after 1990 even before the WSC closed. | |||
In 2003, the 1000 km race was resumed. Since 2004 it is part of the [[Le Mans Endurance Series]] (LMES), the Euro version of the [[American Le Mans Series]] ([[ALMS]]). | |||
[[Jacky Ickx]] currently holds record of most wins, having won the race in 1967, 1968, 1974, 1982 and 1983. He is also 1 of 2 drivers to win the 1000 km Spa on both the original and current circuits, the other being [[Derek Bell (auto racer)|Derek Bell]]. | |||

The 1000 km Spa is an endurance race for sports cars held at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
History
The Spa 24 Hours had been introduced in 1924, and other races followed. As on the Nürburgring, both a 24h race for touring cars and GTs is held, and an endurance race for sports cars and GTs. The 500 km race at Spa counted towards the World Sportscar Championship from 1963 onwards. Since 1966, it is run for 1000 km, following the 1000km Nürburgring and 1000km Monza. Due to safety problems on the traditional long and very fast 14 km track over public roads, the race was shortened to 762 km in 1974 and discontinued after 1975.
The 1000 km race was resumed in 1982 after the track was made safer by shortening it to 7 km. In 1989 and 1990, the race distance was lowered to 480 km as a rule change required the use of Formula One-derived engines that last no longer. Due to the decline of the WSC, the "1000km" was discontinued after 1990 even before the WSC closed.
In 2003, the 1000 km race was resumed. Since 2004 it is part of the Le Mans Endurance Series (LMES), the Euro version of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).
Jacky Ickx currently holds record of most wins, having won the race in 1967, 1968, 1974, 1982 and 1983. He is also 1 of 2 drivers to win the 1000 km Spa on both the original and current circuits, the other being Derek Bell.
Winners
1 - The 1975 event was originally scheduled for 1000 km, but was shortened to 750 km the day of the race due to an approaching storm.
2 - The 1985 event was originally scheduled for 1000 km, but was shortened to 848 km after the ensuing 40-minute caution caused by the collision of the Bellof/Boutsen Brun Motorsport Porsche 956 with the Ickx/Jochen Mass Rothmans Porsche 962 at Eau Rouge. Bellof died in the hospital afterwards, and officials waved the checkered flag with 23 laps remaining after 122 of 145 laps.
3 - The 2010 event was red flagged during the race due to electrical outages. The race covered approximately 975 km when it on a six hour time limit.
