Nice driving mate, enjoyed it. what mods on the car?

- Pilot Sport Cup tires - was my first trip on them, still working my way towards their limit as they don't give as much audible warning as the RE01-R that I used to have (but seem have a lot more grip once warm)
- KW V2 suspension - after having done sufficient number of laps I'd say it's too comfort biased to be optimal for the 'Ring, but it's a great compromise between road and track.
- Redstuff brake pads
- Supersprint exhaust

Brake ducts, will get to find out how effective they are next trip. The air is directed at the entire hub assembly so should cool the bearings as well:

Exchanged passenger laps with this French guy, even the regular Megane R26 was an awesome car

Still waving all over the place

A really cool quad I saw in the parking

Cool vid! How many times have you been?

Where abouts in Belgium do you live? My sister lives with her husband in Brussels and I might go out to visit them sometime this year but instead of taking the train, I'll drive down and then I can do a few laps of the Ring on my way back home.

The aluminium bonnet is still from that silver Clio, the rest is a slightly newer car. Silver one had 260000kms on it, AC didn't work and the steering rack was quite worn.

I had a small off last winter in the silver car - only minor damage but was not worth repairing

I've done around 210 laps now, been going the past 3 years.

I'm in Brussels!

Send me a PM when you come over, if I'm able to I'll go with you.

Still hoping to run into Touristenfahrer again so I can ask for a ride in his 200 Cup

I know there's him and a white 200 Cup who are quite a bit faster than me

 

[Marv-C]

[subarufreak]

[ferrett]

:approve:i enjoyed that vid ... great stuff ... more please

 

[shiyan]

Thanks everyone

Comparing my video to touristenfahrer's, it seems the main difference are the faster corners where he is quite a bit faster
