This was the last time GT1 machinery was eligible for the race, as well as the last Spa 24 Hours that was part of the FIA GT Championship.
11 Full Speed Racing Saleen were required to start from pit lane after they both changed engines following qualifying.
The two PMB Motorsports Porsches did not participate in any of the three qualifying sessions and also had to start from pit lane.
Following the race, Porsche revealed that all of their cars participating in the GT2 category had used steel sleeves which did not match the homologation papers for the 997 GT3-RSR.
The FIA later disqualified all Porsches from the GT2 category for this violation, amending the final race results.
