This event combined the FIA GT's two classes (GT and N-GT) with cars from national series and one-make series, designated G2 and G3. It took place at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, on 25 and 26 July 2003. This race marked the only time in the history of the FIA GT Championship that the slower of the two classes (N-GT in this case) managed to win a race overall.

Points to the top eight were awarded in the order of 5.0 - 4.0 – 3.0 – 2.5 – 2.0 – 1.5 – 1.0 – 0.5. 6 Hour leaders in GT Pos No Team Laps 1 9 FRA JMB Racing 107 2 1 FRA Larbre Compétition 107 3 22 ITA BMS Scuderia Italia 105 4 17 FRA Larbre Compétition 105 5 5 CHE Force One Racing Festina 105 6 24 FRA Paul Belmondo Racing 105 7 6 GBR Creation Autosportif 105 8 15 GBR Lister Racing 104 6 Hour leaders in N-GT Pos No Team Laps 1 50 DEU Freisinger Motorsport 107 2 61 GBR EMKA Racing 106 3 57 CZE MenX 105 4 72 DEU Seikel Motorsport 105 5 77 DEU RWS Yukos Motorsport 105 6 88 GBR Team Maranello Concessionaires 104 7 89 GBR Team Maranello Concessionaires 104 8 74 GBR Team Eurotech 104 12 Hour leaders in GT Pos No Team Laps 1 1 FRA Larbre Compétition 220 2 9 FRA JMB Racing 217 3 24 FRA Paul Belmondo Racing 216 4 15 GBR Lister Racing 215 5 22 ITA BMS Scuderia Italia 214 6 17 FRA Larbre Compétition 213 7 11 SWE Roos Optima Racing Team 203 8 7 GBR Graham Nash Motorsport 195 12 Hour leaders in N-GT Pos No Team Laps 1 50 DEU Freisinger Motorsport 220 2 72 DEU Seikel Motorsport 216 3 61 GBR EMKA Racing 214 4 57 CZE MenX 213 5 77 DEU RWS Yukos Motorsport 213 6 74 GBR Team Eurotech 207 7 53 FRA JMB Racing 203 8 89 GBR Team Maranello Concessionaires 203 Official results Class winners in bold.
