You didn't miss the thread. Unfortunately there weren't many pics taken during the rebuild so a thread would have been very boring I'm sorry to say.

The Hornet will be back in 2015 for another run at Spa and other tracks. In the meantime it's having a gap year enjoying watching others.

James' spoiler was up and down like a fiddler's elbow in that clip?

Lucky one Mike, but a good place to do it with plenty of room.

Grant nice to see ya back on the forum

Mike I did the same thing but without the spinning bit, the car got unsettled but by putting the power back on fast and having a light grip on the steering wheel pulled pulled the car straight

Great save buddy !

Well, anything then....show us the finished result, you know what it's like here, [thisthreadisuselesswithoutpics]

Hadn't spotted that, maybe it's because I was going too slow?

It's relentless

Good spot by Brian. Seems to happen when going over bumps at the chicane and at La Source exit. Definitely nothing to do with going slow - you'd have to be down to 5 mph for that to be the cause.

We swapped out my original one with 9e Ken's because the controller unit failed to work after the work carried out when I bought the car, so I just assumed it would be fully functional. Can't say I spend much time looking for it in my mirror! Must get it looked into.

Here's a couple of shots from the BAT photographer... I love the shoot from above

Morning chaps! Johnny Tipler sent over the proof of his article for 911 & Porsche World. He's done us proud as you would expect; written with an easy charm. It is going to press now and will be in the next month's publication.

Seven pages with lots of pictures

I was in a white Alpina getting a lift to pickup Doczilla from the menders.

I am a complete track day novice so apologies for the question but is this correct (the point about "most corners", not Eau Rouge / Raidillion)? When I was at Spa last year I was suffering a lot of understeer taking the "usual" line at Rivage. An instructor had me turning in to the corner much earlier under heavy trail-breaking instead, with the rear of the car very light and on the point of breaking away. This made a huge difference to front-end grip and my overall speed round the corner. I was amazed how hard I could break while taking the corner without losing the rear of the car.

It was a bit scary when I over-cooked it on one lap and had to do a lot of arm-twiddling to catch the resulting over-steer, which much have terrified the Radical that chose that moment to overtake me!

In a corner you want to be either on the brakes or on the throttle in a 911. Your instructor was showing you how to use the brakes to help turn the car which is a common technique for a 911. Jevvy was highlighting that being on neither one or the other leads to the car becoming unstable in the corner.

Thanks Boxsey / Jevvy - that makes sense.
