Couldn't help posting a vid up

Mentioned it on the Spa meet thread, but i'm so chuffed with the Ohlins setup. Go kart now!

Very nice, makes me want to go back for a dry Spa

Will have to go next year for definite. Just checked my short vid and in the wet I was about 30 seconds slower round the circuit

I thought you did pretty well in your wet video Starlight - it's not a nice place to be!

That's the problem with going to Spa, it rains a lot! I think I just got lucky going twice and it being dry both times. It absolutely pissed down in the night between the 2 days though!

Quickest lap was 3:09...

3.09. Wow.
My video clips are mostly chopped up Mark due to vibes we talked about.
I got the first one complete, my first outing blind - ~3.20 so not too shabby

However, I would like to know how to shave 11 seconds off

PS - you could be so much faster in Eau Rouge

I had that problem the first year Steve - all my footage was wiped as the HDD on the camcorder thinks it's being dropped and turns off Used a stick this time!

The first lap on that clip started at 0:15 and ended at 3:25 (so a 3:10) which included not a full bore speed through the start, slowing down for a couple of cars, and not a full bore charge to the finish line. That's worth a few seconds!

I've got footage of quicker than 3:09 I think but have a lot of clips to look through!

(PS - captain BS reckons he got 3:06 despite me punishing him for 2 days )
