Woensdag 13 oktober : op circuit Spa / Francorchamps gedurende de Rotary Days (dat is Rotary Club, en de motor niet!). Er zullen enkelen RX8 vanuit Frankrijk en Belgïe aanwezig zijn. Tertou en ikke gaan we samen in de namiddag. Sommigen hebben een paar ronden op de circuit bestellen (Tertou bij voorbeeld).

Vragen, kommentaren welkom.

Fabrice,
Veel plezier zondag. Zoals ik al had geschreven moet ik zondagmorgen werken en kan nooit op tijd in Luxemburg zijn.

Doe de groeten aan Tertou, Renenis en Mag!

En we willen natuurlijk foto's zien!!!!

Caecil

Dank je, Caecil

Ik hoop het zal een zonnige en feestelijke zondag zijn. :)
We zullen zeker onze fotos u tonen (ter conditie dat ik mijn aparaat niet vergeet ;))

Nog vier keer slapen en Spa!

Nu nog maar twee nachtjes...  Niet wakker liggen hoor!

Ennuh Tertou, maak er wat van op dat circuit! Minstens 1 kilometer per euro maken!
(honderdtien kilometer -> moet lukken..).

Veel plezier!

@ Rasputin en Tertou: hebben jullie de auto heel gehouden????? Hoe was het?

I was a passenger on 2 occasions.

First 45 min (reduced to 30 min due to GT3 RS crash!) run with Tertou in his std power : fun fun fun. I really laughed. The car was going all over the place and Tertou managed to keep on the road all the times. Some other cars could not follow him in the twisty bits, despite being his first time on a track.

Second run with Mag (high power) : very very clean lines, fast with strong, long and painful lateral accelerations (I asked him to drop me after only 4 laps!). Best lap at 3'35".

There were demo Nissan 350Z's lapping extremely fast on the circuit, with pro drivers (piloten) on board. I would have loved to see one of these drivers in the RX8 for a direct comparison. The Z looks fast and well balanced too.

A GT3 RS went out. I asked his feeling to the driver of another GT3 RS and he mentioned how critical tyre pressure was. He was riding on nice sticky Pirelli P Zero Corsa (racing tyres that are homologated for road use). Tyre pressure must be reduced for track use as it rises with heat on the track. He thought the other GT3 RS owner left the road tyre pressure that rose so high it modified the grip of the rear tyres. And when such a car goes over the limit, there is now way to get it back! Bang!

Tha RX8 is playful, rewarding and, with its road tyres and confy suspension, much more forgiving than real track beasts! A real pleasure...

We also had the pleasure to meet another two unannounced RX8 drivers (RenesisMSA, also member of this forum and a recent French forum member based in Liège/Luik!).

I confirm the SPA experience was very very very good.
I made one run of 45 minutes with my RX8, the pleasure I got from it was very high.

The RX8 handling was a real plus against most of the others cars.
The track is very impressive especially 'le raidillon' ! A great experience that everybody should try.
