Yup
So now I need to break 2.43... Thanks dude ;-)
So fun to run today, thank you. We were learning from each other. I s=didn't want t take the pass cause I was camera car.. Unfortunately Harry ****ed up and I have no video.. :-(
There were real advantages to the RS I noticed in the mirror today but you still nailed DE victory.
not enough time and KM's I have contacts and a place in Leeds and really wanted lto make that happen....
Yeah, I'm not fooling around with setup, but I'm remembering why tracking on street tires and street alignment gets old... So much understeer today, that front is just giving up.
I totally agree with your first comment. After the Nordschleife, Spa is not at all scary. Eau Rouge, just another corner, you nailed it...
2:43 in the last session for me. I had been running all day with the shocks turned to stiff. I turned them to soft for the last session and, voila, faster. Go figure.
Harry's Lap Timer is awesome when it works... Someday maybe I can upload video, too. Great running today, Peter! Lots of fun!

We gotta get some rear facing GoPro cameras going tomorrow, they'll be cool(er) video in many ways...

Thats accually my main reason not going to SPA, not at all like nur where you can scare your selfe more or less all over the place. Not that hard to go fast on SPA.

Thanks for a terrific week Trakcar and Wifey!
It's was a pleasure meeting you!
Of course we missed our flight with a couple of minutes
. I'll guess we do Düsseldorf for a couple of hours.

I apologize for the rattle, I tried everything. Tomorrow I will re-install my contraption.
My first laps at Spa:
One of the better laps, maybe better today but no clean laps yet.

i think when you were adjusting the air vents, after the left hand one, either the car wouldn't downshift or you lost the paddle...???? looked kinda weird for a sec there lol.

Seemed like just perfect weather, scenery reminds of Oregon and Washington.
Some of the passes looked dicey, but I am assuming that with windows rolled up you guys are using your blinkers to signal a point by?

Certainly tracks I have been to in UK and France we use blinkers (indicators) to signal our intent...does not always work especially if the driver in front has red mist like the guys below however that is the norm.
Doesn't having an opened window leave you prone to debris/stones/loose rubber?...mind same would be the case for open top track cars I guess.
