Over the first weekend of October we attended Super Spa 2025, promoted by the Roadbook team.

This was the fourth time the event ran, with the first being in 2022. After modest beginnings,  Super Spa has grown into a three-day, fully-fledged historic and modern motorsports event. As usual, we’re focusing primarily on the historic series that were present throughout the weekend.

The ADAC Graf Berghe von Trips Pokal for single-seaters was present from Germany, with the Formula Ford 1600 Championship and Ferdinand Cup for historic Porsches making their way from France. The Fast Seventies Benelux, a series for historic GTs and touring cars, was also present from the Netherlands.

Weather conditions were less than ideal during the three-day event. Heavy rain, strong winds, and temperatures that barely rose above 10 degrees celsius made things even more challenging for the drivers.

Fast Seventies Benelux brought out a field of historic GTs and touring cars from the seventies. Although Hans de Graaf was fastest in qualifying with his Porsche 911 RSR, he was defeated in both races by the Ford Escort RS Mk.1 of Marcel Frijlink.

The Formula Ford 1600 championship saw Maxime Lebreton take home the victory after a thrilling battle with Armand Dousse, both steering Van Diemen RF90s. The Frenchman retired two laps from the finish in the second race on Sunday in wet conditions. Axel Castillou, in turn, drove a controlled race and pedalled his Ray 92F to victory.

Porsche enthusiasts were treated to the presence of the Ferdinand Cup, the world’s largest championship for the various models that rolled out of the Zuffenhausen factory. Mathieu Bastin drove his Porsche 996 Cup to pole position, but in the first race, in wet conditions, he had to concede defeat to Sebastien Mathieu, who took the checked flag with a considerable lead in the same model.

During the second race, rain fell heavily again. This time, Christophe Terriou handled the conditions best and drove his Porsche 911 to the finish unchallenged.

The ADAC Graf Berghe von Trips Pokal, open to historic single-seaters, including Formula 3 and Formula Ford single-seaters, had its final two races of the season at Spa and staged an exciting battle to determine the 2025 champion.

Although pole sitter Elio Cocciarelli pulled away after the start in the pouring rain, Daniel Hornung moved up from third place. A thrilling battle for victory then unfolded, with Hornung emerging victorious.

During the second race, the weather gods showed their better side. Hornung started from pole but made a mistake immediately after the start, dropping back to fifteenth place. Cocciarelli didn’t hesitate, taking the lead and holding on to it. The Italian triumphed to clinch the championship.

After three days, Vincent Collard, the organizer, could look back on a successful event. We’re certainly curious to see how Super Spa develops and are already looking forward to the fifth edition in October 2026.
