Spa 29th May

Car  EK9 + Mfactory gearing..
A few pics from Spa, not many as I didnt get on track til 11am due to the car playing up (started 10mins off the ferry! drove at 65mph as i couldnt find the prob, absolutely massive thanks to Andy GDI (there with track action) for finding the faults on the morning of the trackday otherwise id have been home early.
Its a fantastic track, it rained most of the day, had one 180 spin in the AM at the top of eau rouge, went backward for 40yards parallel 6 inches with the armco. Another 180 in the dry (PM, fagnes I think) when i stayed out for one lap too many, overcooked the F1's (got this on vid..coming soon). In the AM I struggled for traction as it was soaking, even being progressive with the go pedal, so by the PM the rears were bobbling badly so couldnt gun it on the straights, and in the dry the F1's didnt last long lol, A048's next time I think. I refused to pay the extra £50 for a garage so I made my own with pallets..

deffo on my to do list spa.....

looks awesome, but id imagine very scary in the wet.
 
Not sure Maz, 800bhp I heard, arrived on a trailer, was the first casualty I think. Ad, I think any track can be scary in the wet, but its up to you how far to take it, there was a lot of surface water from continuous rain making it difficult at some points for the clio. Its a track that has everything though, well worth a trip!

Yep thats Big Nige's car went out in this at Mallory it was amazing.. hope he is ok .. didnt see anything about it over on the MLR.
 
great too see you there Chris... was a good day in the end.... even with all the carnage..

wednesday / thursday were worse..

F430 spider totalled
Carrerra GT, rear 1/4'd
996 Turbo rear ended - now held with gaffer tape.
Aston AV V8 rear wheel and disc and rear suspension smashed.

all curtosty of En Rouge
 
^makes my oil leak & front knock seem trivial, how did the JP1 fair? do any driving Bex?
 
30k damage to the F430 at least...

The JP1 went well all week, no problems.. was one of the fastest round the track... could have done with some better brakes for the faster drivers though
