It's a (very) long story. If you can read some french, have a look to this forum

When I will have time, I will try to give you a list of what I have done, and I am going to do.

Yes, but almost always with some more experienced people to help

Here is what I have for my seats.
Looks nice, but one remark when I look at the harness..
The lap-belt of the harness looks to be mounted extremely high up. Too high I would suspect?
Can't imagine that it's now sitting tightly across the bones of the pelvis anymore, but it is now positioned over the soft tissues of the abdomen. That would be very, very bad in a crash (aka. easily lethal)
Bye, Arno.

Bye, Arno.
The setup is not done on the picture as I was working on the car. I have to adjust it each track day as it can move with forces on the body... But when adjusted, lower position, it is safe. (I asume)

yep, I like the video. I always wanted to to a camera shot from the side of the car. Wat kind of cameraholder did you use? Ready-made, or home-made?
Thanks

Nice car! Must be a hell of a lot of fun on circuit.
Great videos, was that Atom you passed?

Thanks mate !
It happens, believe me. Last time at Zolder, when this Atom 245 was driven by Nico Verdonck (Belgian F3 driver), it was just impossible to me to catch him. There was also a M3 GTR on slicks that was faster than us by 8 secondes

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 ?

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 ?
Ho I just saw your website nice idee !
268 HP !

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.
