2011 RMA Track Day at Spa with the boys and their toys

Post by 535dboy » Fri May 06, 2011 9:53 pm

Our annual two day Spa track day was last weekend and thankfully we had two lovely bright sunny days.

Ready for the off at the Chunnell - welcome to the 360 Challenge Stradale, 3 Norfolk 'kit cars', the 650 BHP Datsun complete with Slicks and DRS wing!, the £120k 850BHP Datsun and finally the AMD tuned R8

Same group of people as every year just different toys

The Fezza

So the black one came with slicks for the trip too

and the wing

Flattens at Speed +125 I think, come ups like an air brake when braking

The GT2 RS

the rest of the competition

Great weekend, some trouble with badly driven Radicals but they were banned in the end

Looks awesome, and some very serious cars there !! Do you have any video footage of the racing that you can put up on Youtube ?? Very pleased the weather held up for you - I'd be terrified racing round a circuit in the dry with cars like that out there, let alone the wet !!

WOW! Some seriously impressive cars there... looks like it was an absolutely fantastic weekend and you couldn't have asked for better weather.

A friend of mine has a Ferrari CS and he says the same about the road tyres just not being suitable for the heat that gets produced.

The guy with the black gtr emailed me last night to say that the memory card was full when we were hunting down the GT2 RS !!!!!!!! He will see what else he has got

Sorry temporarily forgot this was a BMW X5 forum

This wrapped X5M did a few laps too ( I think his track car was a radical so this went out after the ban!)

Sorry for not responding sooner.......busy few days & totally missed this thread :oops:

Great pics of some stunning cars :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing albeit I can only dream of being apart of such a track day gathering.

I suspect the 3 unemployed have some cash to realise from quality metal in rare event so required.
