Might see some of you on the Eurotunnel, I'm going across on Sunday at 4pm but admittedly to the Nurburgring not Spa; still eyes will be peeled.
Hope to be in the Bar by then Tim....we, the 3 amigo's 
, are on the 10.30 - or maybe 10.50 - earlier than 4pm anyway!! Have a good trip

Tell me, is Cockernee going with you to Spa? - he's been unusually dormant on this subject

What sort of speed do you think you will get out of a V12V up Eau Rouge? Have any of you got a GoPro too? Would love to see some vids 
Top speed 153 MPH, Eua Rouge entry about 125MPH. exit 110MPH - not brave enough to be any faster.....I have posted vids and telemetry under the 'EPIC' post
As another one who went to the excellent day at Spa i can report that the V12 Vantage came home in one piece and that the quality and poise of that car on a track is up there with the best. Tyre wear and petrol consumption is epic. It is a good idea to make use of the tyre rental service that AM offers (however they were not available for the V12 when i enquired). My tyres narrowly passed the MOT last week so at Spa they were finished off for good. During the 2 day round trip i filled the tank 6 times !
I was positively surprised by the V12V performance ( and robustness ) on track. It is one of Astons finest no doubt. As the day went on it became better and better and my feeling was that on the way home it was more responsive and throttle happy than it had ever been. These cars need to be used.

Watching you hit the kerbs on entry and exit to Eau Rouge... do they upset the car much or literally just jiggle the suspension a bit?
On 1 lap, first flying lap with coldish rears I did catch a small slide at the top of eau rouge, but once warm it is just a jiggle. It is important to just be as straight as possible across the kerb to minimise the upset.Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
