It was totally cool, the entire place is just amazing.
Had our briefing in the F1 pits on top, where presumably all races are briefed. The trackwas fully staffed with marshals, flags at every corner. medical and fire trucks, all present.
And with reason, last year a GT3 went off at Pouhon and helicopter was called in to airlift the passenger to the hospital.
In the morning before the session i went out to warm my car up a bit so I did not have to warm it with idling next or warm it up on the actual track..
So set my Satnav to the town of Stavelot, Masta road.
And did a run on the old track of Spa, which is now public road
The houses you see right next to the road, they were theren back when Jacky Ickx and others flew over that road at 300 kph+ in fiberglass and a aluminium tube frame chassis.
Just nuts really.
That Masta kink, on video and pictures looks like a gentle left.right.
But the camera lens warps it.. it's much sharper in person.
And they went a LOT faster through it then I did.
Amazing piece of road
