Closest I've ever been to binning my car. Put a rear wheel on the wet curb and it instantly swapped ends at speed.

Well we got a damp start but after an hour track started to dry and just got better and better, forgotten how quick it can be, think a good day was had by all bar the Dutch guy who somehow stacked his vx front and back coming onto start finish straight....He was ok just a shame for the car. My car could only manage 2 or 3 laps at full chat then I would have to do a couple of poodling laps to get full power back again....no idea what's going on there as inlet temp where mid 40,s so need to get to bottom of this. Thx to all the vx guys for advice have definitely got some food for thought. Oh and Nev no issues with torque car pulled out of corners nice and predictable when running full boost so that was encouraging.

Good to hear Lee.

Make sure to try Spa one time. It's comparable to Zandvoort, but then all just goes a little faster (getting Blanchimont right at top speed is very rewarding)

Come to Spa Lee. October 16th with circuit days

Must also say what a great track day , And quite a unique circuit which does take some learning Thanks for coming out with me on the sighting laps 👍

A sphincter tightening moment if ever there was one. Looks about a foot away from the armco

Just got home (via a pizza takeaway place). What a cracking time that was. Absolutely loved the track and the whole setup there and may even have developed slightly warm feelings towards the car again, which was faultless for the whole trip. Will have a dig through the GoPro footage for the car behind view of George's little adventure. 

 

Top people, top track, top time.

Nice save G. Very lucky.

George's close encounter with the scenery, from behind.

That kurb/curb is very concave and you can see the splash as you hit the puddle sat in there!

[techieboy]

Yeah, it's less a kerb and more of a gutter.
