Had my first dry day at Spa in 2 years, so it was brilliant.

i have to admit you were my STAR of the day.

i was sadly without my motor but accompanied my brother with his Caterham academy car. i went out to Eau Rouge at 9am to take some pictures and it was evident from the off you were on the money when everybody else was merely sight seeing

i think the first, second , third etc times i saw you exit Eau Rouge you were each time going sideways, well committed which on a steep slope is hard to look fast

well done, car looked ace as well

Great day, without doubt my best TD at Spa to date. Was in the dirty green Cerbera and will admit to getting out of the way of the pesky Silver Astra at least once hehe

hey shim,

my lhd mk1 silver 996 gt3 is standard-ish; titanium headers, stainless steel system(non-cat), gruppe-m carbon air induction system, ferodo ds3000 front pads, apr short shift kit with cup cables, lower control arm poly bushes all round & used slicks...

that was my first time round spa in the drivers seat & my favourite trackday in twelve years.. epic!!

Hi Bo, this was very hard for me to say, but I turned round to Gordon on Monday evening and said I was a bit bored (probably get jumped on for saying that as Spa is the best circuit in the world, certainly top 3 for me)... Gordon actually agreed that the adrenaline was flowing at the Ring and Spa was kind of bland in a way.

Think next year do Spa first then onto the Ring... that's what we have done before and it always feels best.

Steve you need to get a slower car, so you have to work harder to get the laptimes, that's much more fun, come to the dark side LOL

I like going to Spa after the Ring. At the Ring I get the buzz from the danger and challenge of getting it right but never fully explore the corner speeds. At Spa on the other hand, I use every mm of the track and give it everything I have everywhere, and often overdrive the car for the fun of itsmile
