Paradine Competition BMW driver Darren Leung topped Tuesday afternoon's Bronze Test at Spa-Francorchamps, which marked the first track action of the 2025 CrowdStrike 24 Hoursof Spa.
The British driver’s benchmark of 2m17.001s came relatively late in the session and was enough to hold off Jonathan Hui’s Ziggo Sport Tempesta Ferrari by 0.203s. Ben Dörr was third fastest in the #23 Team RJN McLaren that competes in the Gold Cup, Dörr’s best being half a second back from Leung’s effort.
The #91 Herberth Motorsport Porsche made it four different brands at the head of the timesheets thanks to Ralf Bohn, with Louis Machiels fifth in the #52 AF Corse – Francorchamps Motors Ferrari. A late entrant to the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa is Charles Dawson, and the current British GT Championship leader did enough to put the #222 2 Seas Motorsport Mercedes-AMG sixth fastest.
Custodio Toledo was the leading Pro-Am runner, with the Brazilian’s #71 AF Corse Ferrari finishing 10 fastest. The sister #70 car did not contest the session.
The only other eligible entry not to venture out on track across was Barwell Motorsport’s Rob Collard, who had competed in the British GT event during SRO Speedweek last weekend. The only notably casualty of the Bronze Test was the #97 Rutronik Racing Porsche, which crashed on its third lap in the hands of Antares Au.
