Is anybody else from here going to Spa or Zolder with Lotus on track next week??
Yes, Ill be at Spa hopefully.
Nice to meet you Tom, how did Zolder go?
How was Spa then Gav?
Awesome Ade. I spanked it ass for the best part of 3 hrs in total and put 160 ltrs of fuel down its throat!!
Ran all but perfectly right up to the last 20 mins of track time when i had a puncture and had to call it a day. Thankfully it happened on one of the slower parts of the track…
Excellent, it is a thirsty track Spa, shame about the puncture, hope it was an old tyre not a new one?
that looks slightly more serious than a puncture
Im not actually sure what happen to the tyre,it went down slowly to start with and the arse end started going all squirmy.
I’m going to investigate it a little better when i get it out of the trailer as it all happened late in the day.
I think the damage you see there is actually done from me limping back to the pits on it from half way round the track and i had a normal puncture to start with, it didnt just let go…
Tyre weld no good for that
Thankfully it didnt happen on a fast section
yeah like pouhon which I was leaning on it heavy (right hand side) just a couple of corners before it went…
Zolder was awesome cheers Gav! First time there and enjoyed it much more than I was expecting, really nice circuit. I think only 2 brief stops from red flags so got plenty of mileage in too. Thanks again for the ride - that car really is something else!
Never mind that, get it ready for Le Mans
I hear Spa calling.
