I noticed they didn't engineer any storage for your legs. Big kudos for driving flatout with your knee on the shifter! Was Spa even on your original itinerary? Turn for turn, it seems to be a better driving experience than the ring (from video and Forza - I've never even been to that continent
). Props for not wadding a track rental 12k miles from home. The AmEx would bleed for months if that happened...
The ******** pass was a 430. I braked, put two on the grass at 170k and he still almost hit me.
Spa is a fantastic track, my new favorite. The ring is a different experience really. Running the GP tracj today. VLN course tomorrow which is the full Nordschleife plus the "Sprint course" which an abbreviated version of the GP course.

Great car to drive even bone stock. Agile, rewards good driving but does not tolerate weak car control skills like say, an Evo or GTR.Kinda fragile and parts are absurdly expensive.

Another Formula One track during my European trip. It is a shortened version of the F1 track, but still most of it. Also this event was another unexpected track to drive due to snow and ice and unplanned maintenance/repairs to the Nordschlife (tourist north loop, original historic Nurburgring).
Emilio, William, Zhong, and I had a friendly time trial/attack challenge in our rental Suzuki Swift. Format was 1 warmup lap, 3 hot laps, and 1 cool down. I won.
