Fast! My time was full course, not BTG. Not sure how that translates?
subtract around ~22-24 secs for the Dottinger Hohe GtoB straight ... so around 7:45-50
I should add that I was only able to pull off the 7:35 by drafting a couple of fast Swede's in PDK GT3's ... otherwise I was pulling 7:40-45's fairly consistently ... I could go faster in a PDK car

I'll take it! Lol! Pulling a fast time during TF is really hard because of traffic, no?

Totally, all it takes is *one* car to mess up your lap time ... I did most of my (fast) laps at the Destination Nurburgring "Ringmeisters" event over 2 days at the end of August (I can recommend the event organizer)
the # of GT3 and RS'es at the event was simply "nuts" ... by far the most common car in the car park!!!
Fantastic write up orthojoe. Amazing experience, Europe is the ultimate place to own or drive a GT car.
Whenever I read these ED threads, it takes me back to 2015 when I joined Trakcar on his ED with Mr Purple... Memories and laughs that will be with me for life.
ED is a definite must do!
Look forward to hearing your thoughts when you get her stateside to familiar tracks
Joe, I ran Spa a few days after you in my ED RS; oddly we went about same lap times, 2:46.6 was my best. it was my first time at Spa and was surrounded by guys in fast cars who knew the track well, so at first i simply tried to stay out of the way! The quickest lap of the day was a 2:36 layed down in a stock GT3RS, so I have some time to find. But what a track, looking for an excuse to get back somehow.
Here I thought 2:40 was fast in an RS..
ive not gone below 2:44.
any chance the 2:36 was a .2RS on R tires?
cant wait to go back :-)
theres a YouTube link to it, but I’m not tech savvy! said he was running Dunlop’s. At this event no slicks allowed; there were 27 GT3 RS and 8 GT2 RSs.

Nice! I'm guessing that getting Eau rouge right can buy A LOT of time with such a long straight after it. Same with blanchimont. Shaving time there is simple conceptually, but takes confidence and bravery
2:36 is ridiculous! Must be some sort of record or close to it??
I think because all the traffic and apprehension of O Rouge you brakes too early, so you lost time on the way to the top, not so much after exiting.
I didn’t look at my video but in my (selective!!) memory I braked later. Will check it out sometime with more bandwidth.. my 0.02 and could be very wrong Joe!

Oh I definitely lost a lot of time on the way to the top. At the exit it felt like a casual Sunday drive. Lol! It's gonna be a long time before I get another chance there....
The weird thing right now is that one of things I'm really missing and looking forward to when I get the car back is flicking that shifter. Seems weird, but it's so fast and impressive you can't stop doing it.
