Some truly brilliant pictures here (Spa and the Ring). That Corvette just needs respraying in the Le Mans livery and it'll be perfect Speaking of which, did anyone get a decent shot of the red and white C2 Stingray? Never seen one in real life before Spa

Sussed it - its Jamie Boots one - Luve the single Exhaust - I am leaning this way.

Surely not the first time this close to a large Sausage!
