I took my Sylva Phoenix over to Spa for a trackday on the 20th and had a great time (apart for the rain in the way back !)

First video of me following my friend John in a Z4M who's son, Edward, is in the passenger seat with me. 3.01 best lap of this run.

Passing a bunch of cars including a tussle with a V10 M5, down to under 3.00 mins.

The M5 driver came over after the session and had a good look. He couldn't believe I was able to almost stay with him on the straights and then get past under brakes. Once I was past he disappeared pretty quickly. Some numbers from the datalogger

Highest top speed 133MPH
Highest Entry to Eau Rouge 122MPH
Highest Exit from Eau Rouge 105MPH (so not flat !)
Fastest lap 2.55 (datalogger tells me if I strung all the fastest sectors together from the whole day it would have a laptime of 2.51...so must try harder)
Highest lateral G 1.45
Highest Braking G 1.2

Lots of smiles and no car got past expect when I was following John in the Z4M.

The I drove it home 250 miles. Got to love kit cars

nice vids.

Just need to trim off another 70 seconds to get Mr Raikkonens 1:45.108

Doubt that will happen anytime soon lol...

Seriously jealous -- wonderful circuit. Pity there was nobody there to give you a run for your money

Doubt if you would make a full lap with that gearchange system

And the Striker would have trouble with its 9 litre fuel tank

lol....an outlap only then

Sadly I can't view those videos . No idea why , I've looked at YouTube videos before or is it that the iPhone is the problem
Jeff , does any car you intend taking there have to be roadgoing , tax insured etc

The videos should work but probable best viewed on a PC rather than a phone.

Spa will allow you to run a non-registered car (as will most trackdays), indeed there where a number of race cars there including a Lola T70, Porsche 935, Viper & a real race Cobra. For the Drivers Days trackdays you need to show your driving license.

Great video thanks Jeff.

Very jealous - I just need a more powerful engine and more talent !
