I did Eau Rouge & Raidillon flat in a C1 when I raced in the 24hr race there last October. 91mph IIRC, so slightly slower than a Radical.

Raidillon is easy flat out, mostly because the hill at Eau Rouge slows you down an awful lot.

My favourite Eau Rouge clip is this one that shows just how much faster F1 is than your average racers or track cars ...

You can wring 3 figures out of one of those if you flat shift it with a long enough downhill
