Ferarri pulls off a 1-2 in FP2 at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francochamps. The World Endurance Championship heads to Spa this weekend for 6 hours of racing. Ferrari has set the pace in practice ahead of the field. Cadillac racing is third fastest in their second European race weekend with the VSeries.R. There were some concerns with the Porsche 963 hypercars. Both cars had mechanical issues that resulted in them stopping on track mid session. The team suspects that there is a gear box issue that is effecting both cars but will need to tear into the cars to find the problem. FP3 is 8 hours away and we will report back with results. The No. 3 Cadillac Racing also stopped on circuit with a mechanical issue.
