The trackday!
GoldTrack. Highly recommend.
None of us had ever done Spa before, but I can confirm that it 1000% lives up to the hype. There’s a real… ‘feeling’ about the place. It’s special.
We were extremely lucky as the weather the days leading up and thereafter can only be described as ‘monsoon’. Bone try for us though!
It was evident immediately that I’d brought a plastic Ryan air knife to a Gun Fight. The paddock was probably 80+% race cars, and the road cars were gt2’s, 3’s and a s**t load of hyper cars. Limited run Ferrari FXX’s and FXX-K’s etc. We decided to kit up as we were one of few who weren’t and the pace was pretty hot.
I think I was maybe 1 of 3 or 4 cars under 400 bhp 😂 but the little clio scalped some serious machinery.
That said, WHAT A TRACK! The best I’ve driven in fact. The Clio, was hilariously underpowered, but we had a tonne of people coming up to us and commenting on it, I genuinely think I was having more fun than anyone out there bouncing Bonnie around on her door handles.
Car wasn’t without fault. I’m still having shifter issues. But managed to drive around it.
The car definitely needs more rotation from the rear and the front needs more camber. I have severe rubbing issues when carrying a passenger. Which has twatted my NSF entirely.
Other than that though, it was spot on! Eu Rouge was completely flat sticks. The Clio is magnificent through the Pouhon to Stavelot section. My favourite sector of any track I’ve driven. The little s**t box pretty much matched or surpassed anything through there. Which surprised a few including me.
All the boys were flying. We didn’t really ‘time’, but having reviewed a few of the laps, managed a 2:40 in the GT4 on 3 year old rooted road tyres and 2 up. 1.5+G measured as well.
Around a 3:09 in the clio, 2 up also.
Also, can confirm that redline pas fluid and running on the minimum has fixed my pas issues.
