I know, IIRC this is the 3rd time on those... At best very entertaining, at worst just frustrating. Best chances for clean laps are first ones in the morning ( but ususally on moist/wet track) or the very last ones in the evening when most of lads from that island have already gone drinking beer...

24½ half laps on three days, Sunday was closed all day because of fog. No improvement of BTG times, last year's 8:28 is still the best. Friday was OK, as well as Saturday morning and Monday afternoon.
On Tuesday we went to Spa, RSR's track day. First time there, without coaching 3:08. 225 & 285/18 street tires, which was a wrong choice. It was so dry (or at least not so wet) that MPSCs would have worked.

So Jealous. I've been to the ring twice. Another tip for those considering the trip but trying to stay on budget is to rent the Rent4Ring VW Sciroccos. They are pretty darn quick. I don't think I had anyone come by me short of the GT2 they use for hot laps. I have also rented from Ron at RSR. Top notch shop.

All of a sudden their great business practices go out of the window... All of a sudden their professionalism gets shat down a toilet ...
