Sevens at Zolder

[escondidoron]

I spent the afternoon today at a track day at Zolder, in Belgium. You would have thought that it was a Club Lotus event. A few Elans (M100s), an Evora, some 211s, a bunch of Exiges / Elises and too many Seven types to count:

I got to do about 15 laps with my friend Mark in his Luego based clone. It has a 2.0L turbo 5-cyl Fiat engine with Motronic engine management, a Cosworth Sierra 5-speed and limited slip IRS rear end. GAZ shocks all around and Baer brakes at all 4 corners. It makes about 250Hp. The only car that was quicker today was a full on race 911 RSR. It is waaaay quicker than my '62 S2. LOL.

This German made RSB is powered by a 2.4L Honda. It was pretty quick too.

A pretty neat event.

I love the look of the RSB. I never seen one before.

^^^ I concur. I love the wheels on it too. Anybody know what brand/type of wheel that is? Black with white lip would be nice for the Megabusa.

That RSB is definitely TEUTONIC

On the majority of Se7ens I see there, the driver's and or passengers head(s) were above the roll-over bar. They wldn't pass tech at a typical track day here. Nonetheless, it looks like huge fun and a great day.
