Classic Porsches could only manage two of the top ten spots in the 2011 Boucles de Spa. Stefan Stouf in a Mk 1 Escort (car 182) repeated his RAC win of a few months ago, Waldegard was second in a Mk 2 Ford (#161), while third place went to Patrick Snijers in his ’82-chassis’d Porsche 911 SC RS (#162).
