Default Spa-Francorchamps 4 May 14

Hi guys,

Finally got my heads swapped, also threw in headers and xpipe. Head were done by american heritage, exhaust by jba. I have a base tune on the car, so i didnt give it more than 6k rpm (until i get it fine tuned).

Bilstein z06 shocks
Apx rotors
Mich pss tires

Did a total of 4x20 minute sessions.

Here is session number 2. My tire pressure was very high i didnt have time to adjust (20 min between sessions and i had to pee after first one). Im going about 2:55-2:59 a lap, with traffic. These were fun, u can see lotus spin out and gtr almost crash.



This is my hot lapping, tire pressure adjusted, and last session. I didnt push too hard because the car already took on a lot of beating after 3 sessions with 20min breaks. Oh, and i had a passenger. Few laps were 2:52-2:53 and most 2:55.



I pretty much dominated the whole day, i havent gotten passed. In my first session i chased ktm xbow for 3 laps, the guy was very surprised.

Here is a pass by video. My friend said everyone loved the sound of it and always stared it down

Great track for high power cars with wide sticky tires. When the Russians show up with their big Mercedes and GT3s, watch out.

My all time favorite track. Need to go back again one year. The F1 garages all have their own washrooms, and every morning the city cleaning crew would come by and empty our garbage bins. Food in downtown Spa is

OP is lucky that it didn't rain, especially during this time of the year. The down hill section, which can be taken with WOT in one section, is scary fast when wet.

Sweet. Spa is a great track, has a nice flow/rhythm to it. Would love to be able to drive it in person.
