Just back from an epic 3 days on track in mine (2 at Spa & 1 at Jules Tacheny).

Car was quicker round Spa by over 4 seconds this year than last & that was in far worse weather conditions (snowed for most of the 1st day). Managed a 3min 1sec as my best lap & that was with some traffic, along with a top speed (GPS) down Kemmel of 160mph.

Awesome Paul.
Good to hear you got there and back with no issues!

Make sure you do a good write up and pist any pics and vids you have up

Good result - do you attribute the improved times to the car in some way (different tyres, developing more power etc), or yourself as driver?

Tyres were the same as before, MPSS but i had better pads (Pagid RS29) which definitely helped, along with more confidence in the car having driven it now for close to 18mths.

Will be back next year with the goal to break 3mins so i'll be sourcing some Pilot Sport Cup 2's which will i hope provide enough of an advantage. I'll do a write up with piccies etc. later this week.
