Nicolas Minassian, Simon Pagenaud and Christian Klien led from the start to take victory in Spa, second round of the Le Mans Serie championship.

Jean-Christophe Boullion and Christophe Tinseau drove their Pescarolo-Judd to second position, ahead of Charouz, Enge and Mücke's Lola Aston Martin.

The second 908 droped down to 13th, after David Brabham hit a slower car. The Peugeot lost five laps to repair suspension damages, then had to stop another time for a four minutes penalty, for avoidable contact.

Bruce Jouanny (Pescarolo), then Bruno Senna (Oreca) were involved in two major accidents, with no damages for the drivers. Senna's accident brought the safety car in the last minutes of the race.

Elgaard, Collard and Poulsen won LMP2 class aboard their Porsche RS Spyder. Alphand, Goueslard and Clairay's Corvette C6.R claims GT1 victory, while Lieb/Lietz/Felbermayr were the GT2 winners, with a Porsche 997.
