Payment done !!

Are you guys all gonna change tires i.e slicks at Spa??? I don't think I would be able to fit in an extra set of tires in my car though

Who is Daniel??

Greg usually a 2 sets of (4) tyres in his car ... and one help to change them

I will use my normal road RE050 ... unless I find something else !!
But since I am driving to the Ring on Sunday ... that would be a lot of weight and space ... and work !

Outjer, normally bring one set of slick with him.

Et pour ce qui est de Daniel ... le voiçi dans ses oeuvres ... avec une Modena 360 ... avec le proprio a ses cotés .... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
La pluie ... ou ça ?? :pluie:

PS ... il faisait idem sur le Ring avec l'EVO IX .... :heeuuu:

Thats Daniel ... no comments ... chief instructor ... > 15.000 laps of the Nordschleiffe ... and much more ...
He should be presenting the 20 minutes briefing !!!!! a all the years before.

PS: look at "About this video" ... the owner comments

Also ... if you got nothing on Sunday ... you can drop at the Nürburgring ... and have a lap in the new EVO X ... driven by Daniel

!!!!!! I hope he's got a yearly subscription for the Ring ...with the current lap price

I will definitely try to make it also for Sunday - it would be great to get some coaching from Daniel.

If you plan to go to the Ring some time during March, Baphi, pls let me know as my family will be going to Japan for three weeks - which will allow me some flexibility

btw, does it always rain at Spa

He doesn't need a subscription, he is paid to drive around the ring to test cars or car components Nice job hey.

btw, does it always rain at Spa

Nope, only when we have a track day there but it makes it that much more fun

The RX-7 is not that reliable in the wet - or maybe it's the driver last time at Spa I managed to do 2x360s - in the same bend and at the same time

7 times overthere for me, different seasons, once on the dry

Lets put it this way ... he only drive the Nordschleiffe during 'tourist days' with the MLR ...
and he doesn't need a any subscription as he drive with the Car Industry pool ...
and he doesn't drive his own car ... and most of the time these cars are not yet officially on the road ...
I saw one of his private video on the Ring from 2003 ... when the RX-8 was being tested by Mazda Corp before production ... and he was driving it !
and he still loves it !
For Sunday you will be able to be a passenger in the EVO X ... I hope there is not to much people coming !
and also follow the EVO X has Daniel will show the correct lines ... if traffic permits !
... and if the EVO X supports very long Daniel ... nice .... driving ...
Last year EVO IX 360 MR; max 4-6 laps ... then refuelled ... and cool down a bit ... poor brakes !

You will have peek at the visit cards he has ...
There will be a few other driver instructor at Francorchamps ... also very good ones !
I had this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXtreJMzSr0
... he was not driving ... he was passenger ... the student made a mistake.
He was still injured when he refreshed me about Francorchamps during MLR 2007 ...

The first time I did the MLR at Francorchamps the rain was nearly flooding the old F1 garage ...
You go more slowly ... and you learn more ... you better have good / fresh tires !
Last year rain and then nearly dry .... perfect !

For March, I am not sure that I will go ... but I might have I few friends in Lotus going ... I will keep you informed !

Impressive

thanks for the background info Baphi - seems like I soon should be looking for some new tires

Bon ben cette année je pourrai pas me joindre à cette magnifique journée

Les finances vont pas suivre...

Les autres, allez-y, c'est vraiment une expérience magique Spa

Yep !!!!
I think the tires prices are going to go up very soon (march ?) ... oil prices ...

La journée est temporairement complète, nous aurons peut-être encore quelques places vers la mi mars si quelques unes nous reviennent d'un groupe qui doit finaliser ses réservations.

Si vous désirez participer, nous opérons une liste d'attente.

A+
Greg

Baphi,

Could you add Andreas with his M3 on the Present-list.
He send me a mail that payment is done.

Offcourse I will bring my slicks allong.

Outjer

Greg,

Je t'ai envoyé un MP.

PM et mail bien reçus ;-)

A+
Greg

I think they should be more than happy this time again...

0-100 in 4,362 ??

Now I know why I need some 15-20 secs per lap more.

It should be under 4s by pushing the second gear to 110 km/h

Pour les participants ... vous devriez avoir reçu le pack d'information par email aujourd'hui.

Sinon faite le moi savoir !!!!

Merci de remplir a l'avance les documents pour le(s) pilotes ainsi que le9s) passager(s) !!! perte inutile de temps sur place

... confirmation pour l'Evo X ... elle sera bien la mais ... ce sera la version 360 CV et pas la 295 CV

Chouette on pourra comparer avec l'Evo IX de 2007

I got the information pack yesterday - I'm really looking forward to going

When are you going to be at the Ring on Sunday ?? I plan to go - at least for a few hours to warm up the car for Monday
