In the fan zone of Spa-Francorchamps, which hosts the third round of the FIA World Endurance Championship from Thursday to Saturday, spectators can discover hydrogen and low-carbon competition. On Saturday from 11:15, two hydrogen prototypes, the MissionH24 H24 and the Alpine Alpenglow Hy4 will take the track for three demonstration laps.
The third round of the FIA World Endurance Championship takes place from 9 to 11 May in Spa-Francorchamps. Since 2018, the Belgian circuit has been working closely with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA WEC, to deploy hydrogen in competition.

In 2024, spectators will be able to learn about the zero-emission competition with a hydrogen village and the presence of the TotalEnergies H2 mobile station. Two hydrogen prototypes will be on display, including the H24, the first fuel cell race car to have evolved at this level of competition (Michelin Le Mans Cup).
Bassel Aslan, technical director of MissionH24, and Stéphane Richelmi, one of the program’s reference pilots, will be available to the public to present the hydrogen electric prototype, explain the driving of this vehicle that emits only water at its exhausts…
