Where have you been this last couple of years Jonathan?

It's Terry Taylor's hybrid - M3 engine.

Some bloke on here got some M powered engine in it i think

The car looks amazing Terry, looks super clean! How was it around Spa?

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Interesting facts guys.

The Datsuns were going well at Spa and although the Club sessions are not intended to be driven competitively the horns come out when on track. I'm not sure how fast Terry was going but I think John got down to 3min. Very respectable 'in traffic' with a passenger of 14 stone.

F1 record 1.45 (M Webber 2010)

World Endurance (Le Mans cars) two weeks ago (Hybrids) 2.01.

Wow.

...and at 4:40!

As I said the horns come out!

A great video. Matt never says 'slow down' always go go go! And even then he drinks water from a massive bottle.

Here he is in Terry's car looking at the scenery.

Guys, if you look at the photos and videos from here you can re-live the experience.

I can see an S30 on the photos which I reckon is Andrew's car.

WOW WOW WOW!

THAT IS THE BEST Z TRACK SESSION I HAVE EVER SEEN.

No wonder your shoulder ached afterwards.

As I said on the day I heard a car thrashing down to Eau Rouge and I thought 'somebody is giving it some' ran to see the car and it was you!

That is race pace John. Verified by Matt saying at the top of the Kemmel climb '150' .

 

[johnymd]

Didn't have any telemetry of my 3:00 lap but hears one with a bit of traffic.

Thanks Rob. Nice to hear that from a master of speed through the bends.

Another great trip to Spa. Thanks for the hospitality of our European Zeders. Shame it clashed with another event and some familiar faces were missing but there's always next year. It was good to have a few more uk friends come along and have nearly as much fun on the track as me and a couple had a bit more. Each year I try and go a little quicker and this time I may have actually remembered the track. Roll on next year.
