Accessibility. Friendliness. Closeness. These are just a few of the words that perfectly capture the spirit of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa — and even more so, the iconic Wednesday Parade! Completely free to attend, the Parade officially kicks off 24 Hours week with the cars leaving the circuit at 6 PM and returning by 9 PM.
For over 20 years, the cars competing in the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa have left the track and taken to the public roads en route to the city centre of Spa. Despite ongoing roadworks in the village of Francorchamps, the traditional route will indeed be used once again in 2025!
The GT3s will be joined in the convoy by support race cars, Supercars, and other exceptional machines. For this 2025 edition, Ferrari will lead the Parade by showcasing its road-going lineup. Just behind the SF90XX, 296, Purosangue, Roma Spider, and 12 Cilindri, the Ferrari 296 GT3s — set to race in the 24 Hours — will be the first competition cars on the road.
All nine other manufacturers competing in the endurance classic will also be represented, with exclusive road cars such as the Ford Mustang Dark Horse R, Audi RS6, BMW M4 CS, Porsche 911 GT3, and more. Maserati, the event’s official provider of the Leading Car and Safety Car, will present its lineup including the stunning MCXtrema. Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG, and Aston Martin will also be part of this must-see automotive celebration.
A major new feature this year is that the cars will arrive in the superb Parc de Sept Heures. They will line up beneath the shade of the trees in the park, built in the mid-18th century for spa guests staying in the town. Although some cars will still be on display in Place Royale, the focal point will shift to the park and beneath the Galerie Léopold II.
On site, fans will be able to purchase CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, GT World Challenge powered by AWS, and Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps merchandise. RTBF, a media partner of the 24 Hours, will also be present with a Tipik Photobooth and Auvio Kids face painters for the children.
In addition to TotalEnergies, which will be distributing goodies and hats, Monster Energy will be showcasing its newest flavours, while DJ Monster will provide the musical entertainment. And to best prepare for their visit to the circuit, fans will be able to purchase tickets and preview the official programme.
Near the superb structure, which is part of Wallonia's exceptional heritage, the drivers will sign autographs and pose for photos. During this special shared moment, they will answer questions from the hosts and discuss their aspirations ahead of the legendary endurance contest.
With more than 10,000 people expected, the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa Parade will mark the symbolic launch of the 77th edition of the world's greatest GT race. It is an unforgettable afternoon of communion between fans and competitors before free practice, pre-qualifying, and qualifying run on Thursday.
Spectators arriving at Spa-Francorchamps on Thursday will be able to enjoy all the activities, entertainment, the Ferris wheel, simulators, three evenings of live music, supercar and movie car exhibitions, and more. All information and the complete ticket offering are available on the official website www.crowdstrike24hoursofspa.com.
