This is largely due to the Eau Rouge and Blanchimont corners, both which need to be taken flat out to achieve a fast run onto the straights after them, which aids a driver in both a fast lap and in over-taking.
Still working on this one Flat out through Eau Rouge and Blanchimont in 67's?  ? Its easy to do Eau Rouge and Blanchimont flat out... if you put the accent on "out"  |

Last time I raced at Spa in UKGPL my Fez engine blew right before Masta. The resulting carnage from the following pack was pretty spectacular. |

Last time I attempted Spa, I was battling with somebody and whilst in front, had a wobble at Masta. The resulting collision caused chaos for the chasing pack, and on rejoining, we managed to collide *again*.

Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10. Why the hell do I keep crashing then?!

So kind.  Now to actually get my Eagle under 3m16. I finally managed that feat last night in qually for the BREASTS event. It felt a bit of a scruffy lap tbh and my Prib said 15.41 was possible although my actual best was 15.75!! |

I could do with a replay of qualy though. |

Just in case there are any mere mortals out there that may be getting a little put off by these alien times being thrown around for Spa, there are still a few of us that are lapping at the more humanised pace of 3:20 +, so if you are thinking about it, don't be put off racing with us here. There's still some fun to be had, even if you don't have shares in a spaceship and have a weekend retreat on planet Zarg!  |

Using the WR groove for Spa instantly improves your laptimes by at least 1-2 seconds, at least for those who haven't reached sub 16s yet. I suggest you give it a go.
