The 14th Grand Prix of 24 Hours of Belgium; Spa-Francorchamps, July 10โ€“11, 1949. Just two weeks after Le Mans, Luigi Chinetti teamed up with Jean Lucas and won his second 24-hour race of the season. Again they used a Ferrari 166MMโ€ˆBarchetta. This photo was taken during the early laps (the car was still in undamaged condition) as Chinetti shot across Eau Rouge bridge at the bottom of the pit straight. Chinetti later rolled it, but still won!
