WEC 6 Hours of Spa Franchorchamps - GTE Pro

The No.67 Ford GT had a crash shortly after this photo was taken.  Here it passes the spectators as it exits La Source.
Without the GTE-Pro cars the WEC would probably not survive, but having five top manufacturers fight over this class is rather special.
