Fagnes...IIRC.

Quite good fun in the wet there, relatively low speed. They are quite long corners so lots of time to be made up 'in the corner' esp with the short run down the hill after.

I wouldn't put too much faith in that map, I thought Paul Frere was the first part of Stavelot...
Saying that I've seen a Volvo 340 having a twitch there in the wet.

Yeah need something with massive acceleration compared to lateral grip. :D
