of the new astro turf at Spa:moan::moan:, no more stealing extra width at Pouhon mate:whistle: Will this make it a double apex corner now rather than the single line thru it? Or will you just have to be far more precise?



I was looking forward to trying your 'line' in the full fat m3 sometime:(




Button FTW by the way - He is looking good :partyman:

At Pouhon I only use the wide astro when I'm gonna crash (as you witnessed)

Have they added more?


The new astro at B2 last visit I didn't use but was ripe for 0.5s off the time

Me with Jim span at Pouhon after touching he astro but like a star I recovered it before we hit anything (luck). The Marshalls were clapping :)

Do you remember Micks spin at B2 in his 993RS? On YT

Nope. CSL most definitely staying.

I will have some slight aero, nothing major, and both me and the car WILL be lighter.

I'm 1 and half stone lighter than I was at Spa last time out.
