Online friend of mine that I used to play Quake with just got back from Belgium a few days ago. Looks like he had a fun time. Here's his video with headcam, driving in a Clio around Spa Francorchamps.
He said:
"£400 including travel (fuel and channel tunnel) and a place to stay. I will be driving around in a Clio 172 Sport (with racing mods) and an Exocet with a 220bhp super charged MX5 engine in. I might snag a go in a Nissan GT-R (if it makes it over) and a Nissan 350Z (if they are brave enough to let me)"
"Ok so a little more info;
Spa is...wonderful in every sense of the word. The weather is flippant, the track is quick and quite slippery. Oddly, when it is very wet there is more grip then when it is damp - as soon as you hit the damp stage, you go sliding off in a cloud of under steer or, even in a front wheel drive beast like I was using, the tail managed to get a bit happy with lift off over steer.
Eau Rouge is steeper than you can every imagine, Rivage is a nightmare and that little chicane at the end of the lap is a joke. I now understand why you see F1 cars fishtailing out of there and dislike it. It breaks the flow up of the circuit massively."
