Just thought with all the (well my) recent excitement about a Spa trip i would start as photo thread about Spa
starts with one nicked of a few old school CSLs there in force a few years ago

I should have known better as I did search for Pouhon for that picture!!!;)

Always a surprise that. Never feels like such a rise when your driving it until you realise the car isn't accelerating quite as you expect!

what made me check after the first year was a GT3 that came along side and seemed to take an age to pass me - like it was slow motion
then i took a walk out to Eau Rouge and saw the track steepness and it soaring off into the sky up Kemmel

Nice video Gorilla. Old bus stop track layout. Wonder why he isn't changing down the box as he brakes. He's hopping down the box mid-corner? I can only think the thing locks up the rears too agressively. Strange technique.

How many miles is the circuit?

4.33 miles, lap times for E46 circa 3 minutes would be about right after your first day
loads of space and overtaking places on every straight so it is pretty accomodating to beginners especially on MLR day rather than Goldtrack as there are not the race cars and radicals bombing around everywhere at breakneck speeds
