DONT even think about going four off at LeRadillion-fairly high kerbing has been laid on the outside of the kerb.As its been put down in sections that run across to the tyre wall.Think a trip onto is will, at best, shake your fillings out.
La Source now has a proper kerb immediately after the outside of the painted kerb.Kerbing at Le Combe some changes at Blanchimont as well.
Like I said, dont exceed the track limits and all will be well.smile)Theres really no need to anyway .
Oh, not sure if proper kerbing will be installed on the left of entry into Eau Rouge, but the again, if your over that far its wrong anyway.
Probably see you all there.

The forecast in the area is for light snow in the morning and hail in the afternoon for Saturday. Sunday very cold but a tiny bit better with no precipitations.

Gutted as it had been nice for almost 2 weeks now :-(

Excellently run as usual from Jonny, and some amazing cars there. LaFerrari, 918, two Carerra GTs, numerous 911 GT3s and plenty of classics too. We were a little 'over car'd' but we managed to learn the track...which was the point of the weekend. Everything everyone says is true. Such a great circuit!

Hand held Iphone in a LaFerrari - interesting - if he lost hold of that and caused an incident it could have created a fun court case !!

the closing speed along the Kemmel are incredible

The guy in the La Ferrari is clearly more confident around Spa, but the 918 does put its power down well on the damp track a few times the back of that Ferrari is stepping out pretty quickly.

No kidding - were they owner driven cars ? I didn't make it to Spa last year - first year missed for a while and that clip certainly makes me want to get back there

They were owner driven cars. The LaF went to the 'ring on Sunday but the 918 stayed at Spa.
