andygo Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 My wife and I were at Spa on tuesday to have a potter round on one of their four per year public Driving Days. Brilliantly organised, so laid back, so efficient. Full of some very fast cars,- Ferraris, M3's of various states of tune, but also lots of Porkers, also variously tuned. What a great day out! We had a bit of a dice with a German guy in his 718 Cayman, lots of thumbs up and shaking of hands and grins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Looks like fun. A favourite circuit and as you suggest on track is the “best seat” to watch some serious kit doing its thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Loon Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 My favourite track I have done track days on the bike. 👌🏼 hitting the end of the Kemmel straight at 190mph is awesome 🎉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit_287 Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 A proper thrashing. I don’t think your Mrs was too impressed though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygo Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 She actually loves it, but perhaps not so much when getting a bit close. I think she is starting to develop an imagination! She had a session driving that day. She has a long history of co-driving for me on tarmac stage rallies and night rallies back in the day. She can be a handy driver as well, competeing in sprints occasionally so knows the craic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Indeed, did a trackday there once in a Z4. Epic track, bucket list stuff for any petrolhead. Eau rouge-Radillion at speed is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have raced single seaters and they are pretty visceral although obviously not as mad as a bike! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
