    Woke up at 5:45 at Ringhaus to start driving to SPA - it was wet :(
    The Ringhaus E30 can be seen - RIP:

    The M3 and the M5 waking up:

    Here you can also see how wet it was - we did not like the situation!!!

    Here we are at Spa - driving under the track to enter the pit area:

    Quite a group of cars - those 4 are over 2000hp combined :)

    We rented a garage and here is the red M5 in place:

    Here I am trying to clean most of the road dirt off the cars:

    Our neighbours have arrived:

    Still cleaning:

    It´s almost as if the red M5 is eager to get going on the track:

    Shortly after driving started the first accident happened - a guy went off on Eu Rouge:

    My friend Saemi will be happy to have this picture later - to be able to show
    the beginning of his racing career :)

    Here I had started driving the white one and I am here explaining to
    a Porsche owner (the one in the blue shoes) why he was slower on the
    track :)

    Here is a pic from just before we left - there is the Honda that crashed
    while trying to keep up with RNGTOY. He had been in my way, did not
    let me pass, was much slower and was sliding the back end in the turns.
    I waited behind him until the straight and the passed him while I was doing
    200 km/h. I then watched him in the mirror in the fast left turn and saw
    him slide outwards over the red/white edge of the outside of the track.
    He then spun and ended on the wall on the inside of the track. He must
    have been doing 160 km/h. As you can see the car is rather damaged:

    One pic of the M5's:

    Here we are on our way to get more gas - RNGTOY was running on fumes:
    [​IMG]

    Here is the gas station that did good business that day - three very thirsty cars :)

    Here we are on our way back to Ringhaus:

    The M5 had so much brake dust it seems as if the wheels are gunmetal colored:

    The white one was doing well after a difficult day:

    Bummer about the weather, but it looks like you still had lots of fun.
    Your car sounded good going down the track.

    The weather was ok after lunch and we could drive until 18:00 so it
    was quite ok :)
