Our racing season kicked off this weekend with the Espiritu de Montjuic, held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. A celebration of the rich heritage of the street circuit on the nearby Montjuic hill, this event also served as the season opener for organiser Peter Auto. The first of six events on the calendar, it featured all the familiar grids, which now also includes the Endurance Racing Legends for 1990s and 2000s machinery as a set fixture. This meant that sports cars, GTs and touring cars from the last seven decades were represented during the action packed weekend. Among the many highlights were victories for evocative machinery like a Gulf-liveried Porsche 917 K and a Bentley Speed 8. Another star car was a very rare Sauber C8 Mercedes, which was driven in anger for the first time in many years.
Although spring was clearly in the air, there was also some rain during the weekend and on Sunday some of the nearby mountains received a fresh sprinkling of snow. This did not dampen the spirits at all as can be seen in our 220-shot gallery that serves to illustrate a concise report about the 2019 Espiritu de Montjuic.
