Spa-Francorchamps - Your Lap Times in your cars...
Discussion

I am after your contribution on this post and your links about your laptimes around Spa-Francorchamps (my favourite track!).
In 2012 I was there with my Honda S2000 and did it in 3m03s;

The pic below is a bit geeky but interesting if you like this things...
I compare myself in my Lotus Elise against a top racing driver, Filipe Albuquerque in his Le Mans Audi R18 e-tron.
Hope you also find it interesting and I hope to find your contribuition with your laptimes in many different cars!

Caterham 'Classic' race car, 100bhp and normal road tyres, 3:08.something
Top speed barely tops 100mph... Could've read war and peace down the Kemmel straight if I hadn't been sizing up opponents for tows and overtaking into Les Combes.
175mph through Blanchimont is quite something!
P.S. You forgot to tell us the R18's lap time?

No slicks, no cage,
Oulton will be different ....in the 325
I think at Oulton if you run around 2 min on the 325 it is just a nice fun safe time at Oulton on a track day. There is too much of a different spectrum of cars and ability to get under 2 min without putting pressure on other cars. I was there yesterday and ran around 2 min on the Zedd on ADO8's with no tyre squeak or drama at all and had a great time without being a nuisance. No slicks, no cage,

Looking fwd to follow you at Oulton

I can't believe there are no more laptimes from Spa...
And none of you guys have video links for your laps?

May be some of us still go to track days because we just enjoy doing them and are not concerned about what times we do? And none of you guys have video links for your laps?
p.s. Judging by how many times I let faster drivers past, I don't think my times would be anything to get excited about.
Boxsey,
and that is more than fair. In fact that is the most important thing on a track day, have fun!
But for me and I know a few others out there, the fun is getting all out of your car...
Shim,
The link to your lap seems to be broken...
JonnyLeroux,
That is one great lap! Really nicely driven! I do need to race there...

Just saw and compared your video with the map I posted above... Our cornering speeds are similar(ish) although my speeds come from my speedo and not from GPS (so they are a bit optimistic at some points).Edited by shim on Sunday 18th May 20:46
Still you were about 10s faster that is a lot!!!
A shame I don't have the speeds of the R300 to check...
PS-need to get that lap timer you use... Easy to use and to edit with gopro video?
