Spa Summer Classic

[Richair]

Not long now! This will be my first time at Spa, so I'm pretty excited. This will be the first time my driving partner and I go head-to-head in our own cars too, so that's just adding to the pre-race banter

So who else is booked in?

Hi Rich. Didn't know you lurked here also

Taking the delta and hoping to do more than 7 laps this year.



There are three of us leaving early Wednesday morning from Aylesbury in convoy if you want to join?

Lurking is mostly the right word

I'm helping out at a kids Formula Goblin event on the Wednesday, so am travelling over on Thursday so will see you there! Good idea on the convoy though. Hoping your luck changes for this one mate!!

A good few PH'ers going then by the looks of it!

For a Spa (driving) virgin, is there decent fuel on site? I notice there's Shell garages in Spa and Malmedy...

Great vids Thurbs Glad the car now seems to be sorted.

I had a great first time driving/racing at Spa! What a circuit and it completely lived up to the hype and I had a lot of fun racing it. Unfortunately my 951 only just survived race 1, as it suffered ring or bore failure on no.1 (to be fair, the rings and bores have done 120k miles with the last 6k being very hard). But my racing partner offered me a seat in his Civic for race 2.

I finished 18th both days, which was better than I expected. Will hopefully pull the motor out of the car on Sunday ready for a sleeve and full build. I just need to resist my urges to go 16v now!!

A vid of my best lap which was in qualifying, tidy but there's a lot more to come from me and the car... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5faNMfv0N74

Very clean racing both days and everyone did well to dodge the Smart cars!..
