Mrs Digga was spectating from the pit wall inside La Source on a wet Spa trackday a few years back. There were two Dutch guys in ratty old tracked-up and stripped-out Volvo 340's. She said they came through there sideways, every lap, giving the thumbs up to everyone on the pit wall.

The best drive of my life was Ab 30 minutes alone on track at a soaking wet spa francorchamps . I had the entire track to myself , I was sideways everywhere and span about 10 times ,the marshals were laughing at me so much . I love that car , it’s really a great machine . So misunderstood .

I tried to ‘set the rooster tail w\orld record !

Thats insane!
I found the picture on line . I would love to get a hi Rez pic of that , it’s one of my favourite shots of my gt. She has nearly 30,000 Miles on her now . Mostly too , on and from track .
Here she is several years ago on slicks chasing down race cars :
One careful lady owner , never raced or rallied haha

Awesome photo.
It blows my little mind that most of that amazing V10 (block & heads) is below the bumper line in that photo.
Here the car that donated it’s engine and chassis tech with the team that used to run it :
Is the V10 off-centre in that car? I'm wondering how the bodywork can be so low (that channel between the guys in the white shirts)!!
p.s. On a smaller scale, at first glance I thought your photo was coming out of the bus stop chicane, because I got a similar angle in my car by accident when the rear end was out the other side and the pendulum swung back the other way... It got the juices flowing!

The engine is so low , it’s insane . It took me 3 days of cajoling them to finally get a glimpse . p.s.

It was sad , they said once their car was retired (after testing twice) the race department was retired too . The chief engineer told me "the car was retired and so were we" , they all went to the museum together and they still look after it
