Michel Vaillant Z4 GT3 livery unveiled

One of the cars competing in this weekend’s 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps will be wearing a very unusual colour scheme.

The BMW Z4 GT3 of Alessandro Zanardi, Timo Glock and Bruno Spengler is getting a livery inspired by fictional Belgian comic book racing driver Michel Vaillant.

The 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps is the fourth and penultimate round of the 2015 Blancpain Endurance Series.
