This was a taxi driver day so no intention to take any risk. We were lapping in the range of 2'55''. My 2 years old best was 2'52'' and I hope I will manage to drive it under 2'50'' this year, but it's only possible without passenger as the pax is killing the weight ratio... and obviously some courage/clear lap too

Nice 
Never driven Spa but I understand that anything under 3 mins is quick.

Puts my ham fisted efforts to shame
I was there in May but because of mechanical issues only managed a few laps in the morning and my best was only a 2'59. Will try harder if I go back with LoT in September.

Looks awsome, what spring rates are youusing if I may ask?
Youmentioned it became much more stabel during braking, was that because of your rear wing?

I am using the Ohlins 2 ways, need to check the springs on it later...
The car is much more stable on breaking thanks to the rear wing of course. Perhaps too thanks to the weight saving on the rear with the new body, and also the front splitter very close to the ground (9cm) ?

Also Ilike your side mirrors, whats the brand of those?
I´m new speedster owner,had mine for a month about. Need to start see what things I should buy to my car.
I guess your car is re painted, have you done the paint work yourself?
Very nice car good luck with it.
