The 2021 24 Hours of Spa (also known as the TotalEnergies 24 Hours of Spa for sponsorship reasons) was the 73rd running of the 24 Hours of Spa. It took place from 29 July–1 August 2021. The race was part of both the 2021 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and the 2021 Intercontinental GT Challenge.

Background

After being delayed the previous year to October due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium, the race returned to its traditional end of July date for 2021. Spectators were allowed for the race, but were restricted to two bubbles and were required to wear a mask at all times. Initial plans also would have required spectators to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test result for the COVID-19 virus, but this was scrapped days before the event.^[1]

Supporting the race weekend were the GT4 European Series, Lamborghini Super Trofeo, TCR Europe Championship, Renault Clio Cup Europe, and a new TC France series.^[2]

Prior to the race, Frikadelli Racing was forced to withdraw due to the impacts of the 2021 European floods.^[3] Their spot was taken over by Schnabl Engineering.^[4]
