Cost 120 euro (90 euro for members)

Think the paddock wil be very nice , looking at the the other groups.

1. Streetcars.
2. Racecars with drivers without licence
3. Racecars with drivers with licence
4. Monoposto's before 1980 (90 dB A)
5. Monoposto's after 1980 en sportscars/superlights (90 dB A)

OK , Ok,

I went the day after Zandvoort with my Yamaha to Monza-Milaan for 4 days..(Driving like hell accross the Alpes is even better then watching the F1)

Zandvoort:

Very nice track.
Very chalaging.
Uphill , downhill and very nice curve-combinations.
Took me the first 2 sessions (30 minutes each) to figure out the right lines, braking and shifting pionts.

Drove without DSC. (press one time short)
Had at the rear Marangoni-slicks and front Vredestein Ultracs road tyres, because I can't find yet a replacement for the broken tyre at Spa 29-5-07 (Driver error in combination with a sharp curve stone in the renewed track at the Stavelot curve)

In the last session I nearly lost the car with cold tyres in second gear (80-85 kmh) uphill. (slicks behave very different when the are cold...)
Thought I had still protection in case I did something wrong.
After this experience I could't really tell what the difference is with complete DSC-shutoff!
Happely I didn't do anything wrong in the really fast sweepers....(4 gear , 160-170 kmh)

Problem with the DSC is that it takes to much fun and brakepads.

From England with an Honda civic engine.
Looks like the KTM crossbow.

Nice Corvette Z06 505hp.
Beastly sound.
Good driver.
Last session lost it completely.
Stood in the grass in the wrong direction
Without damage, I think.

Only one or two minor accidents. (much better then Spa , most times)

[Outjer]

Andreas in his 2006- M3
Driving each time faster.
Difference (150 hp) with my RX 8 is getting (too) much..
Think an EVO 9 would do fine..

[Outjer]

Most drivers drove like gentlemen.
So less risk and max fun.
Don't worry , be happy.
Next time hope some of You will come too.
