These 2 are from Seb 20vt. Look out for his spin and can someone comment on his limiter please. Is he spinning up on ii?

Just realised he has a GTX 30 71r turbo in his coupe.

Metallic fuels....ethanol?

The spin itself looks random, are you suspecting oil Joe? The resolution is good but there doesn't seem to be much evidence unless it's suddenly exited from the guy in front....

You can see him taking it suspiciously until the chicane at 11'25" when it's "bu99er it, let's go again".....

He runs on E85 i think. There was a bit of oil on that bend but not sure at what point of time or day for that matter.
Some good vids all round though.

Even after 10odd yrs with the coupe im stil amazed how strong the engines are!!
The turbo on the coupe in videos above would kill most engines within a few laps! My god talk about a rush of boost!! Its almost like it squirting 150hp of nitro at the same time! Lol far far to "snappy" for my liking, the power delivery on mine is way more linear, each to their own n all that though, great for the straites i suppose! Lol.. but yea how the coupes engine copes with such an in rush of boost all at once is not far off amazing! Lol

Looks like you lot had right blast out their! im jealouse! Grrr lol
Next year always next year! Touch wood pete organizes it! Not took my coupe on track yet, be good to see what she can realy do with all those 360odd horses under the bonnet! Lol

Yes he's spinning up in second gear! Very, very quick in a straight line (big turbo and E85 packs a punch!!), but loosing a huge amount of time under braking and in the corners. Bit of a point and squirt set-up, really needs a more balanced package to cope with the engine and certainly better boost control. You can hear the engine surge horribly on part throttle with that turbo, it really is full throttle or nothing.

If he's the chap with the silver coupe with 2 exhaust he sounded like he was wheel spinning for most of the circuit. I'm sure it was him that I saw/heard spinning up eau rouge - and that would be in 3rd gear I'd hope!

This is a vid from Regis. You will see that he has miles to much rear brake,possibly due to the fitting of an hydraulic hand brake and its not quite set up right yet.

Very fast car that just eats the straights. Top bloke aswell.
@1.7 bar its about 470hp.

His build thread on the French forum is very good.
