The 1992 edition of the 24 hours of Spa turned into a fratricidal fight between the BMW teams, which animated the race once the fastest car left the track, the Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R. The dominator of the previous year's race had been weighed down with an extra 90 kg, reaching 1,350 kg, although the power of its biturbo engine could reach 700 hp if necessary. Apart from BMW, which had registered up to five units, another of the favorites was Porsche, which wanted to improve the second final position of the previous year behind Nissan. Nissan's sixth place in practice was just a show of caution, as right from the start the Skyline steadily started to take the lead. But a more than important factor in endurance races, such as consumption, was decisive on this occasion. First, because the autonomy of the Nissan forced it to stop every hour and a quarter, while the BMWs arrived at an hour and forty minutes without refueling, and second, because precisely in one of the refuelings the supply system broke down, and the tubes continued pumping fuel once the refueling was finished, causing a large spill that ended up causing a fire when a flame from the exhaust of one of the BMWs in the adjoining box resumed its march. Despite the fact that the very spectacular fire was quickly controlled, Nissan decided to withdraw the car due to the impossibility of knowing the extent of the damage caused by the fire. From then on, the doubt was knowing that BMW would win the race, and the official Schnitzer team with Van der Poole at the wheel dominated the race until a bearing problem appeared in a drive shaft, which caused him to be overtaken in the last lap of the M3 driven by Martin-Soper-Danner of the Bigazzi team, who rounded off the team's result with the third position of his second M3 driven by Joosen-Hahne-Beguin.
