My rx-8 in Spa-Francorchamps

Hi there,

Here some pics of me ont the beautifull track of Spa-Francorchamps. For me it's only a 1.5 hours drive to reach the circuit. Look at the pic where the right rear weel lifts +- 10cm of the ground.MMMMMMM;;; action time !
I also have a pic of the famous "eau Rouge" (raidillon) corner, but the file is a bit to big, ask me if you want to receve this pic.
If you like to see some more pics of the Marc duez test days, have a look at www.marc-duez.be test days.

I would love to see a touring car race at Spa, if I ever get to Europe. What tires are you using? Have you made any suspension modifications to your car that allowed the wheel to lift in the corner. I have a similar picture of my RX7 lifting it's front wheel at a track, but it was upgraded for racing.

these where the original tyres, bridgestone 225/45/18 and the original suspension. picture was taken in the first chicane, where you have to go full on the brakes (from 200km/h to 70) and then balance the car in to the corners. Great track, +- 7km long !
Tyres where complete worn after six sessions of 20 ' !! Brakes = perfect !

Hi Matisken,
Where are you from? Belgium I guess!
Do you know that there is a RX8 forum for France-Belgium and Switzerland? www.rx8france.com

Check it out!

bye
