Thanks

Hi

I can see that you have a very fast car !!
Using 5th gear at Zolder Do you have a close ratio gearbox?

Last time at Zolder I did a 1m56 but I was pushing very hard.
My topspeed was only 180 in 4th !
(My engine is still standard)

1min 54 is very good believe me.

Yes, it starts to be fast, but I am not pushing it to perform a 1'54.0, as I don't want to crash... so I still have a 2-3 secondes left for my personal safety here, plus again 2-3 secondes lost with trafic, I am sure my car in good hands could be around 1'48".
You have a turbo too ?

[alain]

Yes I have Turbo
But I'm struggling with a bad working wastegate I think.
It's like the Turbo don't push as hard as it should be.

For the moment I'm looking for a good power upgrade during this winter.

Did you go to Francorchamps already ? what 's your laptimes there ?
I did a 3'00" at Spa this month with Lotus on Track day.

Francorchamps is the best of all tracks BIG TIME !!

Where do you live in Belgium Rapidos ?

I was at Spa yesterday,and for the very first time no rain !!!! but 9°C....max
Laptimes where from morning to afternoon, 3'05", 3'00", and 2'55" with passengers (100-82kg). I had very nice laps with and Exige Cup with slicks, we were doing exactly the same laptimes, and the only way was to let the other overpass but then again, no way to pass. Very nice.
The tires were the worst to setup as the track was so cold, as soon as you stopped to change passenger, you had to warm them up again for one full lap... I used the PerformanceBox for one session, I will post the results later on.



I was accelerating the same as the Pantera with 550 BHP ! But for instance, the red 911 (964RS) with 3.8 RSR engine (330BHP) was faster in the straight. You really need power at Spa
