- Saga continues with third collector’s edition poster for 2026 CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa
- Verstappen Racing’s Mercedes-AMG takes on changing weather at Spa-Francorchamps
- The world's greatest GT race to thrill spectators from 24 to 28 June
The enduring legend of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit has been forged by its layout, its surroundings, a history spanning more than a century, and of course its weather. Located in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, its climactic conditions are more variable than other circuits. This reputation is perfectly captured on the third collector's edition poster for the upcoming CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, which will take place from 24 to 28 June.
Once again, artist Guillaume Lopez has encapsulated the intensity of the world's greatest GT race, placing us at the epicentre of the action. On a track saturated by rain, the Verstappen Racing team's Mercedes-AMG is shown in full attack mode, defying the conditions while awaiting the return of the sun, which is heralded by a brightening horizon. With its instantly recognisable colours – and just a few weeks after Max Verstappen's own participation in the Nürburgring 24 Hours – this Mercedes-AMG is sure to be a fan favourite at Spa-Francorchamps.
In addition to being the world's biggest GT race, the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa is a truly unique event which offers fans of all ages an unforgettable experience – one that goes far beyond the realm of motorsport. The atmosphere is more akin to a festival, with all kinds of entertainment and the guarantee of an exceptional outing for the whole family. Wednesday's parade – when the cars competing in the 24 Hours and the support series take the main road into Spa city centre – is a must-see, attracting more than 10,000 spectators each year. This is the first opportunity for fans to connect with the combatants, but there are many more to come, including a paddock open to everyone (with the appropriate ticket), pit walks, autograph sessions, a track walk, and more.
Music lovers are also in for a treat, with Dimitri Vegas headlining the Saturday night concert. Those who appreciate exceptional cars will be spoiled for choice with supercar displays, while children and adults alike can enjoy themselves in the Fan Zone, which features a funfair, a Ferris wheel, a kids' area, merchandise stands, simulators, bars, and restaurants. This 24-hour race is an event best experienced throughout the week, and the public knows it: last year, a grand total of 128,000 spectators made the trip.
If you want a taste of what the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa has to offer, the annual Prologue will be free to attend on 19 and 20 May. For two days, the teams participating in the Belgian endurance classic will be hard at work on the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, preparing for the twice-around-the-clock race. The entry list for the 2026 edition will also be revealed during the Prologue.
Those who haven't yet secured their 24 Hours ticket can purchase one during the Prologue at a sales point located behind the F1 Paddock garages, at the foot of the Pit Building. Remember that the full range of tickets is also available on Ticketmaster. So, are you ready to experience the magic of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa?
