Belcar

History

The Belcar series has its roots in the early 1990s, with the local Flemish championships BBL Endurance Cup and the Carglass Cup. Both were sanctioned by the Flemish autosport federation VAS. In 1997 the very successful Carglass Cup was upgraded to an RACB-sanctioned series and first used the name Belcar as the Carglass Cup Belcar. From 1998 the championship dropped the Carglass name and became known as Belcar. Its title sponsors were Castrol (1998-2001) and later Mediagroep Van Dyck.

In 2012, a conflict between the championship promotor Speedworld and the RACB led to the series' demise. Belcar was succeeded by a new series under the name Belgian Racing Car Championship, with Kronos Events as the new championship promotor.

In 2015, Circuit Zolder relaunched the Belcar under the name Belcar Trophy. It ran in parallel to the BRCC, but eventually became Belgium's top-tier endurance championship again in 2016 with Kronos Events ending the BRCC after the 2015 season. The series was renamed as Belcar Endurance Championship in 2016 and still runs under that name today.

Races

The Belcar has historically had a very regular calendar. The season usually starts and ends with a race at Circuit Zolder, with the New Race Festival being the season opener from 1990-2006 and again since 2015 and the NASCAR Euro Series event being the closing event since 2016. The highlight of the season has always been the Zolder 24 Hours, which usually takes place in August.

There are also at least one or two events at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and usually one event in a neighboring country, with Assen, Dijon-Prenois and Nürburgring being the most visited tracks.

Besides the Zolder 24 Hours, the race lengths are usually 125 minutes. However, there have been events where the race has been split into 2 or 3 shorter sprint races.
