i was too, i was taught to stay to the right down the hill against the wall then at the last moment swing left over the left hand rumble strip and then stay left on the bottom part of the hill then move across to the right towards the mid/top and then swing left to have your left wheel hit the left rumble strip at the top, seemed to work.
when i went back in 2004 I had tuition which helped a lot, the tutors were very good. The ones on this day in the renault cars seemed to be holding back a lot and I think were told safety first and don't go too fast etc.
I always try and get tuition at a new track though as it will gain you more time knowing the correct lines that having a faster car.
There are a few funny lines at Spa where you think you should be to the right when i reality you need to stay to the left until the last moment to catch the apex right, thats where the tuition becomes invaluable, so it was unfortunate proper tuition wasn't really available.
yeah its always a good idea to get tuition. but like you said, it wasnt really available on the day. lookin back now tho i know i could go a lot faster there. certain areas that i could make a fair bit of time through. was just starting to enjoy it a little on the last session, but then was desperately low on fuel as the onsite station wouldnt accept the card.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Looked like good fun.
Looked like good fun.
thats a bummer, i loved that filling station, well cool have no attendant, so slick (well as long as your card works i guess lol).
I enjoyed it more the second time as I knew the track and lines this time and it only took me a session to get back into it, so you need to do it again to enjoy it fully now you know it better.
i really hope they do the same trip next year, it should be a yearly ritual, a revheads dream weekend!

Not yet.
I was lucky then, the guy I was with came out behind the pace car... let it have a 30 second lead and then took off. He was going faster than I though was possible and there cannot have been much more he could have given... it was helped that he was racing that girl driving the blue R27 too. We caught the pace car before the end of the lap too.
I got out the car grinning from ear to ear. I don't know what he raced normally but he was an amazing driver.
