Where: Spa-Francorchamps / Date: July 10-11, 1949

The 14th Grand Prix of 24 Hours of Belgium took place at Spa-Francorchamps on July 10-11, 1949. During the race, the Aston Martin DB2 of Lance Macklin and Nick Haines stopped briefly on the back of the circuit so that Haines could have a refreshing glass of beer, here being delivered. Of course, no one told the Aston pit why that lap took so long!
