A fantastic day in an incredible circuit. T shirt weather (except on the way there in the ardennes) and sun all over. And for a Friday traffic time, there was litterally no one on the road... No radars, no piggies, no road works to speak off... Just the warm air to refresh you...
First few laps to warm up were done with a buddy Giovanni who does quite a bit of racing in BTCC, Belcar and other GT events. Great pilot! This was my first time driving in Zolder although i've driven it extensivelly in Sim Bin's GT-Legends. The game is not exactly the same... There was also a sonometer limit of 94 db and i did a 94.5 on the first round... Easy to fool with a shorter uplift to fifth where the sonos were...
We even had a snap thunderstorm as you can see at the end of the third session.
The drops quickly stopped to go rain on somebody else and we went back to the sunny 26 degrees and sun which dried my NOs polo in an hour flat! Whatever was left humid was quickly dried up in the next session...
Zolder is a very technical circuit demanding on brakes, tires and suspension. It changes direction and attitude almost all the time and you can't really relax for long.
I did 5 out of 6 sessions all of which a pleasure!
Lap times where: 1'54" best laps and 1'50" best theoretical. Semi-slick tires could have helped here.
