Come on, it's MJ, we all know what he'll be driving.

hehe, got to say after jumping back in the 911 it also feels mighty fine and nostalgic around spa 

though i feel a bit of a birk sitting here in my flares and kipper tie with my aviator shades on  ....pass me another Cinzano m'darling 

edit: Huzzah !!...i am back online with my new ISP 'Fast'...how ironic  ...ooh, the temptation to have an email address of mjonzo_is_fast.co.uk

I've done 10 laps in GT40 and I'm hooked  . Nailed rouge once and it was bliss. Hope a few take it as its gonna be left behind by most of the 76 chaps, best of late 47 so far with it.

So no need for that Vette setup

Post it if you have time and I'll still give it a whirl Found the Vette a little less exciting than the GT, especially under braking, but I suspect thats partly my setup and lack of skills.

You should still get some good racing with 47s/48s!  I tried the big block Vette last night and couldn't do better than 45s - factor in silly tyre wear and much longer pitstops for a supertanker full of fuel and the GT40 may be close.  I really don't know how to setup the Vette.     How Jeff drives those things consistently I'll never know.  But for fun I may take one or other Vette.  Be interested to see your setup Jeff.

Also tried the Alpina CSL and only got 48s with that.  But at least I didn't lose it under braking like I did the Vette.

914?!?

[Mark J]

i wouldnt mind trying your GT40 setup ginsters if your doing 2:47's in it ! Best i could manage was a 2:51 so far and 2 out of 5 drives through eau rouge ended with a sloppy fish tail into the armco 

At the moment its still the sexy 911 for me 

[Wiltshire Tony]

I just hope we get a good grid turnout

[Steve Holmes]

...and that people last the distance.

Remember folks, it's worth repairing accident damage and carrying on in an enduro.

Lets hope we see the 25 or so who voted for it

Yep no worries Mark, will upload it in to online GTL Spa file as SBG GT40 when I get home (done now). I may be telling you how to suck eggs, but I've found the best way to get it to turn in is to ride the brakes deep into corner and get on power asap. Its an understeery mess when your not braking or accelerating hard. Hairy, but big fun and 2 outta 5 isn't bad  

I think Ade is taking the 914 as well so you'll not be lonely mooij. I'll be excited if we see a wide range of cars on the grid and hope everyone takes their fave, fast or not

914?!?

= Little orange begin seventies mid-engined Porsche developed in cooperation with Volkswagen.
Looks a bit like a flattened mini-van.

I know what it is, I'm just amazed someone's going to be driving it!

[Wiltshire Tony]

But Tibs, It's faster than the BMW and the Escort and also corners pretty well. May be a smart move..............
