I span once, took my eye off the road trying to watch the European - turned out to be French Coupe behind me as he disappeared into my blind spot at speed, couldn't tell what he was going to do at the end of Kemmel and paid the price.

Too right thumb Limit of the car on standard suspension. No mater how fresh, I reckon the best you can do with a Coupé without any mechanical upgrades. As usual it didn't stop me showing up the boys with much more power and better suspension biglaugh


ahhh Pee Pee's abit upset about spinning twice laugh

And how many times have you driven the track compared with me? tongue Who also had track tyres on?


Yes, you can see on the video you were testing the car a lot and obviously your first time out. I was thinking more of Nismo laugh

Flattery will get you everywhere. 10 stone, add another 4/5 to that!

I wouldn't even see the back of your car, so I was told wink But I did ... all of Saturdays session until I past you I was right behind you. The camera only shows forward not whats happening behind.

Didn't see you on track Sunday alas. Though I'm not sure I saw any UK cars, came out and only saw the European lads. Was a good session though, always good if Sunday is better than Saturday.

Alexis was on a taster session of SPA this time. Next year with some proper tyres I doubt anyone will see him.

What I did see was the fantastic roll on the standard suspension. Some photo's on www.gbphotosports.com Didn't think they were as good as last time. I couldn't get multiple thumbs to show up but worth a click through

You did but didnt realise i reckon, as it was me flashing you to get out of the way after Eau Rouge!

Agreed as long as he sorts himself out over running on a certain corner!

You are European Joe! Though I did see you on the Sunday. Well sort of. The colour strip gave it away. Otherwise it would be difficult to be certain, if you could hang around for a while next time wink I indicated and moved over for you thumb You probably didn't see in your rear view mirror.

Yea but if the le was going faster then obviously it will lean more... don't understand what your trying to get at?
or do you know for certain you was going same speed at that same corner?

edit to add... you also haven't taken intoaaccount ones left hand drive and others right so as you've got more weight over the left being left hand drive im surprised its so little difference in angle to be fair...

out of interest what speed were you both going? Trying to decide whether to go back to oe suspension you see... cheers

mr_cheese is all correct!
Speed, weight distribution..

But let's see the hour when I made the photo comparison.
It was late I was half sleeping!


So, the comparison is not a valid method to check if oe shocks are good. But they are confortable on public road, and economic smile

My French isn't anywhere near good enough, Joe M.

But it is indeed a rather fine view; thanks for extracting it.
