Anyone at Spa in the last few days?
Discussion
My mate just sent me an in-car video of him going around Spa in his Ferrari 360CS in the wet, I think either Sunday or Monday just gone. Youtube video here if you are interested. A minute or so into the vid he passes a Noble. Anyone on here?

Apparently lots of broken cars if that was last weekend. I'm going out on Tuesday. Hoping the weather is a bit better.Were you in the CSL Nathan? Did you chat to Pete who owns the CS? He's a complete nutcase.
I thought he was out on Sunday/Monday, also he mentioned that a certain Mr Nigel Mansell was also there.
Edited to say: In fact, about 1.54 into the video it looks like he passes a CSL... was that you?

Is that your mate Pete with the Ducatti? If I'd known I'd had said hello.
He didn't pass me, only 3 cars did, a 997 turbo, my belgian friend Greg in his Evo 5 RS and the track masters Evo, dunno what happened to the rest of the 4wd brigade in the rain, they seemed to be a lot slower than I thought they'd be? There were about 12 CSLs there so plenty for him to pass
. He did look quick through Eau Rouge but we never got near each other on circuit to make a comparison.
Nigel was there with his sons in a borrowed M5 touring as his sons needed to learn the track, he was interviewed at lunchtime then went home, I was sat in the pit lane after lunch with helmet on waiting for it to go out to see how quick it was but it was not to be [

Jon knows him as well. He's got a Ducati 999R Xerox Rep worth over £22k and was mighty annoyed when I beat him around Silverstone on my £1700 GSXR600 (we were both in the advanced group so he's not slow ). OK, so the Gixxer's not exactly a slouch bike being an ex-works Suzuki British Supersports racer 
We're doing the Le Mans Bugatti curcuit in cars during August so I'm looking for a cheap track-hack to beat him again and really pee him off - however I think in the CS he'll whip me regardless of what I buy

Nathan - any vids of your weekend?

Danny - don't think that is Pete driving - "This is my car been driven by Daniel Herregods ex Le Mans driver"
I saw that afterwards too. I have to say I thought it looked way too smooth and fast for it to be Pete 
He's now posted up a lap that he did and it's much less gentile!
Daniel was instructing on the day and would either sit in the passenger seat or the drivers seat, he is quick! On the Sunday he was at the 'ring giving rides in an Evo 9 for 10 euros a lap, couple of friends went and said it was awesome.
Vid will be sorted in the next week or so, lots of footage to go through including a moment at Blancimont 2 that had be thinking I was going into the wall on the inside
