The car has been run for many years, but over the last 12 months it has received a full rebuild and was showing very good pace.
Earlier in the year it set a new Phillip Is lap record for historic cars, and was looking forward to a strong showing in the race against the Sauber C9, the 956/962 and the Chevy Corvette Group C car.
Unfortunately its race was cut short when during Sunday's race it started to emit blue smoke.
Pic 6 shows in interesting exhaust layout. Anyone know what the advantage is?

probably is to change the reflection of the pressure waves' when they reached the air out of the exhaust, so to help combusted gases to go out from the cylinder when the exhaust valves open.

Sauber C9
This is chassis 05, winner of the world sports car championship in 1989.
Also holds the 410km/h speed record at Le Mans.
Since the restoration it started 5th on the grid at Spa and won by over a lap in the 90min enduro.

This group of cars didn't run on Saturday, but on Sunday it was at the front being harassed by the Vas Kanda - till that expired. The driver then eased off, and was passed by the Corvette GTP.
Back end never looked that planted though, was bouncing down the straight.
