eRacing GP is proud to announce the 12 Hours of Spa, a flagship endurance event that will bring together top sim racing teams from around Asia to tackle one of motorsport’s most iconic circuits in a true test of speed, strategy and teamwork.
Taking place on the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, the special race to be held on 18 July, will challenge competitors to complete 12 hours of uninterrupted racing, demanding flawless consistency, intelligent race strategy and seamless driver changes as they navigate changing track conditions and the circuit’s famous corners, including Eau Rouge, Raidillon and Blanchimont.
The one-off event is one of the most anticipated special events on the eRacing GP calendar and has attracted over 30 teams from at least five countries across the region.
The event is proudly supported by Royal Selangor, the world’s leading name in fine pewter craftsmanship. “Royal Selangor’s partnership with eRacing GP reflects the shared values between traditional craftsmanship and modern motorsport, where dedication, attention to detail and relentless pursuit of perfection define success,” said Hilda Razali, Head of Global Marketing, Royal Selangor International.
In addition to championship points and recognition, competitors will battle for specially commissioned Royal Selangor trophies, crafted to commemorate victory in one of eRacing GP’s premier endurance events.
The race will feature teams competing across eRacing GP’s in three classes – Hypercars (GTP), LMP2 and GT3 – ensuring exciting battles throughout the field as both professional and amateur competitors test themselves against one another over 12 demanding hours.
Teams have a choice of BMW M Hybrid V8, Cadillac V-Series.R GTP, Ferrari 499P and Porsche 963 GTP to drive in the Hypercars (GTP) class. In the LMP2 class, teams will race the Dallara P217. The GT3 category offers six competitive options: the BMW M4 GT3 EVO, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, Ferrari 296 GT3, McLaren 720S GT3 EVO, Mercedes-AMG GT3 (2020) and Porsche 911 GT3 R (992), allowing teams to choose the machine that best suits their strategy and driving style.

It is an event that captures the essence of endurance competition while giving sim racers the opportunity to compete with some of the best in Asia.”
