Spa, just brilliant!

Water temp dead in the middle. I've never seen it go any higher.
Oil temp going above the three quarters dot (125 degrees), and I tend to back off when it gets there. Everywhere else I've been it's ten or twelve laps before it reaches the dot, but five in the heat and it had gone above. It's probably ok to run it there, but what's the point in taking the risk?
Couple of chaps with GT2 911's were doing exactly the same thing.
Exit speed at ER? My mind was elsewhere at that point...
I'm still buzzing!

Asking experts. Which is the entry speed in ER? Flat out?

I'm not an expert but I'd say 135mph in a CSL, but I'd doubt you would exit the corner without going to hospital

Best circuit in the world for me. Sounds like you had a great time

We went in March and had good weather, going back in October.

Brands Indy seemed very boring after!

from memory (all GPS speeds) typically 130mph top speed down old start finish straight, brake to 95mph then back on the gas (as soon as your arse stops twitching)

I think my fastest minimum speed is about 100mph but not necessarily the fastest way to get up Kemmel as the most important thing is getting on the power early but as positively as you can as you climb up the other side - unless of course out take the Lawsy line!

Hi,

I prefer Spa to the Ring.

As regards speed out of ER its
how well you position the car
going in, which is not quite as critical
now as it was few year ago,
given you have now have a
Supermarket car park for the
run off.

Not been for some time, but
hopefully end of this year if
all things level out.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
