I would say there's a good 10-15MPH exit speed difference by cutting the kerb at the top of Raidillon... With that nice long straight to Kemmel? Also, there's a HUGE run off area all the way round the 'bus stop', all tarmac, so yes, you get folk using what's there... As said, I'd have tyre barriers up, just the wrong side of the kerbs... NOW try to cut THAT!?!?! |

I need a TC button . . . Twin Cam !
although I'm determined to improve what I've got, just to pi55 a few people off who have TC's! as for drifting, you can keep it, it surely can't be faster than getting it right |

Entry+Exit speeds are higher Zef,but it is harder on the car.OK if you,r getting bored though .Possibly not the thing to be doing in the 6hr if the chequered is the main aim!

ju8dging by the amount of DNF's crashes and red flags in tin tops in the last few years I don't think its the thing to do in 1 hour races either!
last time I had a big moment some whisky splashed out the glass and put my cigar out so I try my damn hardest to keep a good smooth line |

Don't forget that there is a likely chance all starts will be from the F1 startline, going towards La Source. Like their 4 wheels over thing it depends in what mood they are where the starts are given.
There was a crash in every single start last weekend at LS. |

Errr, you HOPE it finishes at 10. Lately there were some "small" delays in the running of events because of more big offs.
The cars that go off at Eau Rouge now nearly get as far as post 4, that is the following righthander. There was actually one last week that went even further. Order the drinks a wee bit later. |

Surely the race finishes 6 hours after it starts, if you children can't keep it on the island in the meantime -well the clock is still ticking!
