And what a glorious home it is!

Last weekend I drove the Ardennes Luik/Liège-Luxembourg motorway and just seeing the names of the exits gives you Goosebumps:

Stavelot
Spa-Francorchamps
Malmédy (old circuit)

EdM5 · 08-26-2019, 01:45 PM

The old circuit was even more insane.
The Masta Kink was apparently more dangerous than Eau Rouge

Did the same thing 3 weeks ago . Pulled over in the evening in Dinant to eat mussels on the banks of the Meuse river .
Drove back home via Liège , and was caught by a f@cking speedcam !

So...For the moment I'm afraid to open my mailbox....

Mercedes has a PU upgrade.

Dry I'm going HAM-VET-VER-LEC-BOT.
Wet I'm going HAM-VER-LEC-BOT-VET

Sectors 1 and 3 favor the Fezza. Sector 2 favors the Merc and RB. Detailed in relative strength I'd go:

Sector 1: Fezza and AMG
Sector 2: AMG and RB
Sector 3: Fezza and AMG

Lap time: Who knows?!?!!

NickyC · 08-27-2019, 10:26 PM

Ugh I hate watching those old videos, those engine noises just kill me inside.

Grosjean caused a crash?? That is so unlike him......

Never have I wanted a driver dropped more than him.

Yeah. But "Eau Rouge" requires big balls at 300 + km/u !
