This is what you fuckers missed out on by not showing up

Whittled down from 1:25:36 of raw footage, this 13 minute montage shows exactly how much fun you can have on Spa '66.

:rofl: Well done Bails.

When we return to normal FNF duties it's going to seem a tad boring after the craziness of Spa. You can't really drop a wheel off at too many spots without it killing you.

I should be back soon to learn how much Spa hates me.

Life has been too darn busy lately.

The track is one of the best in the game. Even though it's ripped from rF2 and it has holes in the map, it's worth driving. But we've found over the past few Fridays that only cars up to a certain age work well. It's got to be able to handle the bumps. If the aero is too good on the car then it's boring. The group C sportscars (962C & C-9) work and so does the Mclaren F1 GTR. But the Lotus 98T is getting too good for the track and it can really catch you out on the bumps. But any of the cars from the 50's 60's and 70's work so well and they are so much fun!

You put a wheel off and you're screwed. So you don't mind the holes in the map cause you'd be dead already and normally flipping or spinning when you find the holes.

Box had up Redbull Ring in Ferrari F-40 S3, Porsche 911 and a time attack Supra. It felt dull, boring even. Yet the Ferrari F-40 S3 at Spa 66 is brilliant! We also tried the Maserati 250F V12 and we were all surprised by it. It's needs an old style track and patience and then you can test how brave you are.

What a cracking track! :vibes:

The real one is hands down the greatest circuit to ever hold a race so your thoughts do not surprise me Doc.

Haven't looked at the AC track yet, but the snippets I've caught from vids (admittedly on a phone) don't impress me much, authenticity wise. WTF is a lake doing behind the pits!!!

You need to drive it then watch this Jamo



Yeah there are some odd things but it's pretty damn good layout wise

Also my guess as to why there is a lake at the back of the pits, maybe there was a creek or something there. There's something to suggest there is something there but I can't find any better pics.

*edit* Google maps does show a small water way coming into the left side at the exit of La Source. It stops dead now but suggests it must have run down the hill and connected to the Eu Rouge. Might have been diverted when the made the new pits.

Don't know if we're running tonight, but I won't be able to make it regardless.

Snuck 1 hot lap in today. Even had the wife rip my headphones off entering the 2nd to last corner before LaSource yelling at me for not looking after kids and I thought I was going to plough on straight ahead like I did last night... Ahhhh, it was worth it!!!

Good fun on Friday night at ye olde Spa. I've never experienced so many high speed accidents that go on for like 20 or more secs, giving you glimpses of trees, cows, hope and brick houses... :eyepop:

La Ferrari is awesome for epic crashes. It gets to 360 kph just before Masta kink and it doesn't have the aero to keep it planted. Poo comes out!

That is a nice track.. it is no Targa Florio.
