Steve, sorry to point out my car wasn,t actually running right at Spa, kept getting the race logic system interferring and holding it back, was disconnected at Le Mans though and went alot better.
I am looking forward to seeing how it does when Duncan gets hold off it lol


I wasn't sure if this run was before or after we fixed the problem with yours. Plus you were 2 up.

I expect simon is out in it now, trying to find some dry tarmac. At least Sat is looking good for weather, though I think he might work on Sats.

A very good read, great power. I've not long jumped to stg4 and I'm blown away how much quicker it feels to stg2. near 400ft-tq is crazy, as per prev posts, the 2013 National will be fun

That's what we need to do a Ring/Spa back to back track day next summer. I am 100% up for that in 2013 I just need to find the magic dates where that happens. It would be an epic trip!!!

Duncan, you should be able to dip into the high 7s which is rarified air for many cars. Has a VX ever done a sub 8 at the Ring?

typically the back to back trackdays with RMA are end of May (21/22) and September , on Mon and Tues , also they are way more expensive than everyone else. Weekend dates are rare.
