Background

In September 2022, the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix Formula One race was scheduled to be held on July 28-30, which clashed with the traditional date of the Spa 24 Hours, so the latter was forced to be rescheduled to early July.

Supporting the race weekend were the McLaren Trophy Europe, Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Formula Regional European Championship, GT4 European Series and GT1 Sports Club.[1]

During the Saturday morning support race featuring the Formula Regional European Championship, a crash on Lap 9, the penultimate lap of the 30-minute plus one lap race, German driver Tim Tramnitz crashed on the restart exiting Radillon, on the Kemmel Straight. Dutch driver Dilano van't Hoff then collided with a barrier. Without visibility at the circuit, Irish driver Adam Fitzgerald then crashed into the side of the van't Hoff's vehicle, causing it to tear in half. Van't Hoff was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.[2]

Notes

  1. Drudi is an Italian driver competing under a Sammarinese licence.
  2. Boguslavskiy, Mukovoz and Nesov are Russian, but they compete as neutral competitors as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Shwartzman and Petrov, also Russians, compete under an Israeli licence for the same reason.
  3. Malykhin is Belarusian, but he competes under a British licence as Belarusian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  4. Also known as "Riokonig".
  5. Kenny Habul was scheduled to race for SunEnergy1 Racing, but withdrew following an accident in Thursday's pre-qualifying session.
