Spa6 2009: various snaps
Discussion
That's an old photo! I think that's from the first time I ever drove it.
Had a lot of fun in the 'B this year, from the back of the grid for various reasons!

Any idea what speed that thing pulls on the kemmel before the brake go on?
What is can do and what we do do dinkel said:
There's no speedo as it scares the drivers
aren't the same...Actually, there is a GPS speedo in it and we do 150+. It can do 160+, even 170, but the extra 10-15mph beyond 155 eats braking distance and murders the brakes, and a big downhill brake into the Rivage hairpin needs to be considered. In qualifying I'll nudge the 160s but (a) it doesn't make much difference to lap time and (b) I only do a couple of laps then come in. A 60 minute race needs some consideration for making sure the car lasts.

Talking with Nigel Reuben (who built the two wide Griff last year they pull a tad over 170 before the brakes (does sound alot though as that hill is bloody steep!), but Chengs seem as fast.
My car has been held up big time by the engine builder (only 9 months late!), I will have to run a longer diff than the 6 hour Griffs as on smaller diameter (modern but fairly narrow) rubber (one Jag ratio longer).
Is Cheng having a ya off from running the Silver car?
See ya there
