I would say 360° + almost 90°

Very scary.

[Onken]

Let's fight with my friend Léo and his Caterham R300 cup

Here is a last one for this year.

My Cat vs Westifield megabusa with 220bhp from the 1300 suzuki hayabusa engine.

That's what I call using ALL of the track (and I thought I was aggressive on climbing curbs, not any more:)). Your engine makes a much higher, more metallic pitch than mine. What is the white smoke on accelerating out of hard right hand turns?

 

Excellent way to end the year! And, nice to see so many se7ens on track, for a moment I thought I was watching our annual se7es event at NJMP.

Smoke come from tires touching wingstay. they are new slick tires a bit larger than the previous set and that is the result.

Nothing really important.

 

The engine is a ford Duratec from minister power with 220bhp and rev limiter à 8200rpm with all the right bits inside.

Ditto! :hurray:

[Onken]

Magny cours F1 track this time. Funny battle with a Lamborghini Huracan GT3. I'have been a bit stuck but fun to follow and ear

[Croc]

It looks like your Lambo driver is a bit of a straight line warrior and not so fast in the corners. Magny Cours is a strange track. Some brilliant corners but also some sections that feel like they were added to make the track longer just for the old F1 race. I felt a little underwhelmed when I drove it in a Caterham. So a bit too stop start in character and not as flowing as I would like. Then again I was spoiled as I drove Dijon-Prenois circuit immediately after my time at Magny-Cours - Dijon is a brilliant track.

[Onken]

True

Grande courbe, Estoril, Chicane (turn 12-13) are very interesting

Nurburgring is interesting

 

Everything esle is not that funny.

 

I will go to Dijon I know it's a good track specially with a car that has down force as the Radical. It's a fast track.

 

I think no tracks can be as fun as Spa maybe Suzuka but ... At spa, Eau Rouge, Pouhon, Blanchimont are just mindblowing.

Eau rouge is 220kmh in the compression, 200-205 up hill and flat out all the way through. G forces are on Z axis so there is no steering when you are up the hill. You need to be online already.

Pouhon, brake before the first left turn in a about 160kmh then flat out all the way through and exit at about 200kmh.

Blonchimont, first corner is easy flat for everybody then the second corner is frightening as it's very very fast corner. Turn in a about 230kmh. It's easy flat but massive massive lateral G force and you need to turn of your brain.

To me Spa is the best track I have ever been in. The problem is that it's raining often and walls are not very far from the track.

Hi

1'43"22 by Julien starts to be fast...

[Onken]

Hi,

 

The sun of my friend came from US to France, time for him to sit next to me in the Radical :

 

He had the seat belt in his neck for a couple of days :rofl:
