    I found nearly 2 seconds in a half hour practice last night. most of my speed came from downforce adjustments.

    tannat- on default settings my top speed was 180mph, with alterations it was 186mph, lowest speed was around 50mph at La Source.

    Are you running any downforce at all?
    I'm at 50% front and rear (i.e. no downforce)

    I think I'm at probably 184 for my top speed. Probably slower than 50....


    I'm losing time at Malmedy and the bus stop chicane-absolutely messy in both areas...

    Yep, but I may increase it for the race as I couldn't do 10 laps without making an error.

    Low ride height will increase top speed. Are you braking for Eu Rouge? Don't!!! Have you tried using manual gears to see if your top speed improves? Maybe I just brake a fraction later :\

    I'm at .10 front and .15 rear for ride height...

    Nope-flat out from la source until braking for Malmedy...

    Are you flat through the sweepers (first right then left) before Stavelot?

    How about Stavelot itself? It's a decreasing radius turn, I think. If I don't tap the brakes I go off there...

    Something is wrong with my gmae disc. It pauses from time to time (rarely, thankfully) and the sound cuts out. No sound=no indication on when to shift

    Surely you brake for Les Combes

    I can't take the Fagnes flat but use a bit of handbrake at Stavelot.

    Having rear ride height higher than the front increases drag. I have them equal.

    Update

    1.J.B...........1m.52:39
    2.BobZee.....1m.52.47
    3.Vuko Snr...1m.53.06
    4.Vuko Jnr....1m.53.38(unofficial)
    5.J.Shell.......1m.54.48
    6.tannat.......1m.55.07

    Jon Brown moves onto provisional pole. His rival Johnny Shell is languishing over 2 seconds behind. If only he had as much driving ability as he has ego

    I'm confusing Malmedy with Les Combes.
    Handbrake is a good idea for Stavelot-I'll have a go..

    My HoF time is a 1:55.07, but doesn't impact the existing order...

    Re Qualifying

    Love the map of the track!!! All those names of corners.... Well done J.B you are going to make this Rd a challenge. The Vuko boys are going to make a proper assault on the track today. The reason for Vuko Jnr's "unofficial" time is that he has not opened up the International V8's on his profile - he has to use mine, therefore unless he beats my time we can't get another code & vice versa if he beats mine..... but it will work itself out in the end. Watch out for BobZee - he is the real danger at the moment. I've heard that KingSpeedy will make it to Spa - hope we get a good turn up.

    On another matter - J.B came up with a good idea which we could use in future races - that the top qualifiers start at the rear, the mid-qualifiers start in the midfield & the bottom qualifiers start at the front of the grid. Comments!!!
