If that was your first time at Spa, I think you did pretty well. You aren't the first person to have screwed up Pouhon and your lines a pretty good alsewhere. I clocked your second lap at about 3.38.

FYI the fastest MGB at last years Spa 6 Hours was the Cottingham car which did a 3.05 on historic tyres although its legality is questionable. I did a 3.08 in a 1380 FISC Midget earlier this year on 155 road tyres.

Has anyone considered that maybe the Cottingham car may have been well driven and hence achieved such a good lap time.

Pouhon was a laugh.

i drove the car to Spa and had to drive it back to Cambridge so took it kind of easy, and i was not racing biggrin

i think if i had been going for it there was about 15 or 20 seconds to be had.
Good fun though which is what it is all about .

I think most people accept that the Cottingham MGB was well driven. I don't think we need another 'legal FIA MGB?' thread, there are other forums for that wink
