Kiwis are in strong positions as darkness envelopes the Spa circuit nine hours into the 24 Hour endurance race.
Earl Bamber started the race for the GPX Racing team, though the first two hours was punctuated by a significantly long Full Course Yellow period.
A heavy crash at the top of Eau Rouge eliminated four cars and left the track crew with a big clean-up job.
There were no television replays of the crash, with two drivers transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Fortunately, none of the three Kiwi drivers have encountered any major issues and are in solid positions.
The No.22 Porsche driven by Earl Bamber, Matt Campbell and Jaminet Mathieu are currently in 11th overall and tenth in the Pro class.
