Good to see a well developed Tivver getting some serious track use .

Braking looked strong and stable ,as i'd expect with 310mm AP front discs.

Although - Some PH'ers - have decided that big front brakes are unnecessary and cause all sorts of end swapping instability

And the standard 2p sized discs are perfectly acceptable for repeated braking from 120 + mph .

Nice vid anyway.

Darren (330mm AP's and still in one piece )

Darren,
cheers mate,

AP discs are OK but the pads break up with the heat. running mintex 1144s.
Ducting is on the way as it was cooking after a heavy session!

(braking from 160mph at Les Combe on hot laps )

They don't have proper power!!

Here you go - www.pistonheads.tv/clip666

Andy - Seem late on the power up the top of Eue Rouge (however you spell it) and early on brakes at the next bend (is that Les Combes - maybe not a hot lap?) - does look nice an fast on the straights though.

Slow Ferrari on trackday shocker! 160mph is quite impressive though, how much power have you got or is it just a TVR speedo

Just read your profile, impressive stuff. What was your exit speed of the Eau Rouge - Radillon section on to Kemel when on it? Just interested to see how much speed you gain down the straight. Cheers.

Nice vid, beautifull sound

Back end of Fezza looks like the 348, but side has no slashes like 348

would love to do spa sometime after having done so many laps in GTL........

guessing...

around 85 at Eau Rouge
around 100 at Radillon
around 160(max) at Les Combe.

Thats Max, when full temps. (160 is indicated, but pretty accurate when on semi-slix as they are slightly smaller circumpherence removing speedo error)

Mates got a Radical SR8 and he had to go back out to match my top speed at Les Combe. he was MUCH quicker on a lap ofcourse, 30secs? but didn't have the top end power.

Bugger me, on semi slicks earlier this year I was entering the straight at almost 120 indicated (taking an unortadox, cheating, kurb jumping line )and only hitting 150 indicated! How much does it weigh?

at 120 you MUST have been straight lining Eau rouge to radillon??
