Yes.

Love it Very scary if you get twitches at the wrong time though.

Done it in my Scirocco and Elise now, both good cars for it.

Last time I went with a friend in an Evo6 TME. On his second lap he did an 8.40.... My best is still about a 9.30!!!!

I'm off to take on the Ring on Gran Turismo four. Apparently recreated to within 3mm

See if i can beat jezza clarkson

Any piccies from your run ? Sounds like fun but scary too

We are trying to organise a double header (shut up Shug) on the S_E Yahoo group, to do both Spa and the 'Ring in the same week... y'up 4 it?

Oh f**k, who let him in?

You get my mail, BTW?

Did four days in May 2003 with some of the S_E regulars, and went again in november, but it was snowed off.

Awesome circuit, but if you drive it sensibly and work up to speed as you get to know the corners, it is a great experience. 14 miles of variance, but unique if you want to try the ultimate.

Any idea when the S_E trip is planned for. I want to try and do both as well since i'm not doing any of the sprints or hills this year.

cheers,

Did it in the CTR, doesn't matter how many times you practice it on a computer game, when it comes to the real thing it all goes out of the window and it hits you that you are driving one serious road!

Scary stuff at times - i think more than anything it was worrying about the bikes diving down either side of you, but you just have to concentrate and get on!

I was over in 2008 with my TVR and got one lap done before failing a noise test.. Got banned for the weekend!

Sorry, just realised this is an old thread.. My browser was set up back to front!
