Hi guys!

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;

This year, couple wkds ago I was there in my Lotus Elise 111R and did it in 2m58s;

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!

Some nice lap times posted.
What about the link to the video of your laps?

...I would love to do Spa in a proper fast car!

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

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).
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?

2.36 couple of summers back, on Toyo's.
That is a seriously quick time!
On what car?
And the video for it, so we can enjoy a well driven fast lap?

Apparently a Aston Martin GTE Pro Class does it in around 2.19...
Unfortunately have no onboard of that... Only a few clips I came across in the twitter account of this driver, Fernando Rees. Great clips by the way of EauRouge and Pouhon

I came across with this lap today...

Beautiful sound of a Mazda 767B lapping Spa in ~2.25.

Worth watching!
