Hey guys, I've recently moved from Holland down to Limburgistan area so consider Spa my home track now (50 km or so away) with Zolder also being close by.

Did my third Spa TD yesterday with Megator and had a blast. I expect him to upload some content as well (videos, etc). Most people on this public TD were pretty slow (track fam, etc) but this GTSRS was moving pretty well. Also a G82 was pretty fast, first I've seen on the track.

I know there are some more of you Spa veterans on here so feel free to post up some content.

I'll add this one with the interior footage.

It's a little out of sync with the interior footage being a bit behind the exterior one.

That's awesome guys, keep up the good work!

I absolutely love my new track toy back here in the US, but I miss proper places to drive it. The elevation changes alone make my local tracks feel flat and tiny compared to the 'Ring or Spa. I miss those tracks for sure.

Enjoy and I wish you firm brake pedal and not much traffic. Do you mid if I share a video of one of my local tracks here in Michigan? Don't want to

P.S. Here is my current track toy. Only 2 track days in, but my previous Personal Best lap times already started falling.

P.P.S. Megator, track limits?

Track limits are just suggestions

In all honesty I was trying to take Eau Rouge and Blanchimont faster and sometimes choose the escape path as I thought the car would get upset if I tried to keep it in the lines.

Love the Camaro, I am guessing it's the 1LE?

That's what I figured, you were going in hot.

Yes, 1LE. Manual.

Thanks, though I must say I like the color of your M2Cs better than the Silver on my Camaro

Great job at 14min mark in your session 4 video. You were inches from the sand!

I go to Grattan raceway, and Gingerman raceway. My last trackday was at Gingerman, and this is the video from that. I will hit up Grattan next Saturday, and that's probably my last day for this season.

How about you guys? Any more days planned this season?

And a quick video from Grattan raceway. I improved my PB by almost 4s today. Love this track.

Hey, awesome tracks/videos and love the overlay. And great driving

We are thinking La Croix close to Lille in Oct or possibly The Ring. I've just bought a circuit motorcycle so I'm also looking at some track days for it before it gets too cold.

Sounds great. I miss the Ring. It certainly made me a better driver, and now I have no fear on my usual tracks

Enjoy the rest of the season and have a blast. I think I'm done for this year.
