There's no such thing as flat out through Eau Rouge unless you have an Aero Car + massive balls
or a non aero car and no power whatsoever..
With a regular sports car or a GT
You cannot go flat out, Source to Eau Rouge is all downhill, so you accelerate like mad on short distance..
It's easy to hit 200 kph with just 250bhp, at Eau Rouge if I wouldn't lift.
But with regular tires, and not even wide ones.. I wouldnot have enough grip to get through it without lifting.
Anyone who tries to not lift hit the armco as well as the top speed of his car on entry.
Obviously better cars then mine with more tires can do 200 kph through eay Rouge, but they will also do more 200kph on approach , they will have to lift
It's a very technical corner, First time i went through it at speed, i got caught off guard, hit the bottom, and the G force smacked me helmet against the side of my car..I grunted as I wah pushed in my seat
I think I was at 175 ish which I haven't done a second time since, I think I was very lucky that time.
But it's really a GREAT section, very challenging, very rewarding.
I love it in the rain when you feel your car dirft sideways on 4 wheels on the way up hill.
