Default 928 at spa summer classic this weekend

its that time of year again, the annual trip to the home of the belguim gp for the spa summer classic. i out in my old 928 gts. there are 67 cars in my race with ten reserves so should be a busy couple of races.
it looks like the toughest race here for me since 2007 with about 8 of us who should be near the front. i will post some pictures, hopefully on the podium!

if anyone lives near the circuit its free entry all weekend, with some awesome machines in other races including gt40s and 935s/rsr's and any other great cars.

wish me luck, regards mark!

Good Luck mate! Btw, well done on the 2nd place in both races at Anglesey... That pesky Lotus is a tough little car... but it looks you matched him like for like almost till the end... Onwards and upwards!

Mark,

Just be careful through Eau Rouge- we do not want it to be Oh F***!

Fly the flag!

Regards

Good luck Mark! please post a pic of your GTS, or make it your avatar for a while! Is that your GT3 RSR?
Racing your 928 GTS is such great 928 PR. Thanks.

many thanks guys! alex i might have been a better match for the lotus but a m3 lost it in qualifying and t boned me smashed the old girl pretty bad! broke a wheel, and couldnt get my good tyre put onto another wheel being sunday afternoon in the middle of nowhere. so had a 5 year old tyre on the right rear. shes patched up now with all the wheels pointing where they should be again.

ive had a few oh f**k moments at eau rouge. you aint trying hard enough if you dont! it is a scary bend as you take of going over the top.

i cant post anymore pics, dont know if i have to be a member to increase y limit?

its not a 997, its a cayman i race with rsr bodywork with a 997 turbo engine fitted.

cant wait, hope it rains sort the men from the boys!!
