What did curly and Shimmy run? Was it 2.54?

I think a lot depends on a good time at Spa is the car, in the evo video the guy certainly seems to be going well but with the camera on the roof you can see how hard he is trying. When me and shimmy was there in 09 we were pretty much running at the same pace, I did have my DL1 in the car but for some reason it didnt work and I remember timing a few laps off the video and I got a low 2.52 in traffic so I guess with a clear lap maybe a 2.50 or high 49. My M3 had just come off the Simpsons dyno a month before and was showing just over 320 bhp so its well down on the 400 bhp evo, I think the big problem at Spa with the M3 and CSL is the 2nd gear corners you just cant get enough traction like the 4 wheel drive evo's and the porsche GT3 as you can see on this clip the evo in front destroys my M3 out of the slow corners but the M3 takes all the time back in the faster stuff.

Standard engine though, 380bhp on MoTeC.

Nathan, don't let Ants head get any bigger than it is or he'll need that roller shutter door to get in and out the workshop.

Yeah, he's frustratingly good at that. You know the whole World of grieve coming your way if you don't get within a whisker of his time.

lets ignore the 2m 49 shall we!!


best there for the Evo was a 2m51+ and i reckon a CSL could match that if driven by someone better than me - but not beat it by much!

ive crossed checked the data against my data and makes for interesting reading

not much in it as youd expect as only about 2-3,5s diference but a few points (in km/h)

here is a little comparison i drew up

• Green is my 2009 2m54.0s (same day as the evo)
• Blue is my 2010 2m 57.6s (drying conditions!)
• Evo is 2009 2m51.4

You can see where i have marked the Evos top speeds and lowest speeds on the corners for comparisons. i know there is a lot more to it than that but its soemthing to talk about!

Very little in it as you would expect as my ideal lap out of the two shown is a 2m 52.2s




here is my vid of the day (not the 2m 54 but 2m 54.7 i think)
