The class for national level cars is set to be revived after talks between SRO and the RACB (Royal Automobile Club of Belgium) concluded recently.

An announcement on a potential revival of the category is expected shortly before the final entry list for this year's 24-hour race becomes public. The race counts towards a round of the 2016 Blancpain GT Series.

Group N has traditionally been for cars from one-make national level series and the category could be revived in time for this year’s race at the end of July.

The history of Group N dates back to the beginning of the current century after the race was held for Touring Cars and before it became a GT fixture.

The first Group N win came in 2001 when the PSI Motorsport entered trio of Markus Palttala, Stephane de Groodt and Philippe Tollenaire won in their Porsche 911-GT3R.

The last Group N entry came in 2013 but SRO is seriously considering a new structure to introduce into the race, potentially for the 2016 edition.

It is believed that only bronze categorised drivers will be able to race in the newly re-established class.
