Good videos Shimmy.
Good to meet you.
You and Barry looked to be having loads of fun and quick laps.
We justgot home from an awesome week of DN, spa days and tf. Good way to start get to grips with the csl.

Only just really looked at your vid Shim.

Places where I can see improvement, well where I thought I went quicker.

-Eau rouge. I am back on full throttle at the lowest point in Eau rouge, just as the car compresses.

-Stavelot. I short shift just before this and take it flat.

-Blanchimont. I was further to right before corner entry and carried a little more speed. It meant I used a little more track on the exit. Scary- Yes.

The above is just what I did on those corners, your way might be quicker, who knows.

Great lap though mate

All true, I have been faster on all three corners you mention and Pouhon as well so things could def be better.

ER I did however get to 141GPSmph on Kemmel on 1 lap and I have never been faster up there (not saying I can't though)

Stavelot, I usually short shift for stability and power through, but sometimes I forget.

B2 I did try to lift at full seed in 5th and turn and Barry will tell you what happened

No need to short shift through stavelot flat out sometimes touch of opp' lock / slide but 100% flat!

IMO very smooth Shim and potentially you could be mega quick if you attach a huge pair of balls

I'm 100% flat but just change up slightly earlier. I found it far easier and quicker changing up slightly earlier. I tried it in lower gear but my fastest laps I short shifted.

Makes no sense??? Short shifting going slower.

Was my first time at Spa on standard suspension / cups (June this year) and was easy flat. First apex is quite tight so feels like you will run out of road but keep her wide open! With intrax it's flat and some

+ with your cheating slicks you should have been on rails round that right

If you had to apply opposite lock it is slower.
