Michelin 12 Hours of Spa: BOMBERG on the Pit Wall

April 17, 2026 2 min read

The Circuit

Spa-Francorchamps. Seven kilometres of Belgian Ardennes carved into the most demanding track on the European endurance calendar. Eau Rouge, Raidillon, Blanchimont, the Bus Stop chicane. Names that separate machines built for speed from machines built to endure. This weekend, 35 cars across six classes will line up for 12 hours of uninterrupted racing, and BOMBERG will be on the pit wall as Official Timing Partner of the 24H Series.

The Race

The Michelin 12H Spa-Francorchamps is the second round of the 2026 24H Series European championship. The format is brutal: a rolling start at 11:30 on Saturday morning, with the chequered flag not falling until the early hours of Sunday. Twelve hours of continuous racing through daylight, dusk, darkness, and dawn. Driver changes, tyre strategy, fuel management, mechanical attrition. Everything that can go wrong eventually will. The car that crosses the line first is the one that survived the best.


The Field

A 40-car grid spanning the full spectrum of GT and touring car machinery.

GT3 is the headline class, with 16 entries from the sharpest teams in European endurance. Herberth Motorsport arrive as Middle East title holders after winning the 24H Dubai in January. Era Motorsport bring a four-driver squad including Ryan Dalziel and Jake Hill in their Ferrari 296 GT3. Proton Competition field their Porsche 911 GT3 R with a seasoned Pro-Am lineup. GetSpeed Team PCX Racing run a Mercedes-AMG GT3 with Marvin Klein, fresh from factory duties.

The 992 class delivers 10 Porsche Carrera Cup entries, a category where the margins are razor-thin and consistency wins championships. Muhlner Motorsport and RPM Racing lead the charge.

TCE-TCX rounds out the grid with touring car entries from asBest Racing and JW Raceservice. Different machinery, same 12-hour challenge.


Why Spa Matters

Spa-Francorchamps is a 7.004km circuit with 19 turns and over 100 metres of elevation change. It produces weather that shifts between sunshine and rain in the same lap. Night stints through Eau Rouge at full speed require absolute trust between driver, car, and the data on the pit wall. When the track goes dark and the rain hits, split-second timing decisions define the race.

This is exactly where BOMBERG belongs. Not at a cocktail event. Not on a wrist at a gala. On the timing screen when it matters. Precision under pressure is not a marketing line for us. It is the founding principle behind every chronograph we build.

The BOMBERG Connection

The 24H Series is the world's largest endurance racing championship. Races span from Dubai to Barcelona, from Mugello to the Nurburgring. The series demands the same qualities we engineer into every BOMBERG timepiece: absolute reliability over extended periods, precision under extreme conditions, and the kind of bold performance that refuses to fade when the pressure builds.

The 12 hours start soon. Follow along.
