Just there on the Wednesday night and Thursday.

It is a trackday so just for fun and so you can have a ride round the circuit with us if you want. If you do want a passenger ride you would need to cover your arms and legs (long trousers and long sleeves) and wear a helmet (you can rent one at the circuit). All you need then is to attend the briefing, sign on and pay a small fee.

Here is a demo of how to drive the track :D

I hope that works :D

Hahahaha Paul one word of advice DON'T leave your braking until AFTER the 100m board that's too late from the speeds you'll be coming down from. Just sayin'

:lol: :lol: I have been looking at his lines and speed. Trying to pick up some tips. :lol: :lol:

It is good to have ambition 8-) I do want to be quicker then the Ilt he went past :P

I have taken some advice from a few drivers that have down force, as the car has a big wing and should have a splitter, and they say you have to brake very hard at high speed and back off as the speed reduces. :? :? I think it may take a little practice.

Rob, we have rather hijacked your thread. I apologise. It was all in the hope of getting you to Spa. I will start a new thread or pick up the old one.

Thread hijacking here is fine with me. It's about driving FAST!! That's A Okay in my book. ;)

Seriously, I will start my "shaping operations" to see if I can sneak away for a day. My son's birthday is the 17th and he likes to drive fast too. He has my SRT-4 now. ;)
