1- Grandstand on top of the Raidillon with 4600 seats .
2- Open grandstand behind La Source with 3000 seats .
3- Exit zones at La Source, Raidillon, Blanchimont, Les Combes and Stavelot.
4- The circuit and other infrastructure ,ect.

I was looking at this yesterday, you are lucky my friend that Spa is getting these upgrades soon

That's for sure my friend . It would look great !

On the other hand : I'm not so sure if this moment is right to deal with these huge investments at Francorchamps.
Huge investments in times with the damn deadly COVID-virus in front of us , isn't really a good idea...

Think Stroll has the Kawasaki-virus . It's one of the 12 COVID-mutations .
Kawasaki won't show up in the COVID-19 test . But I'm pretty sure Lance would SH1T in his car .
I know of what I'm talking about ... As you know ,I got Kawasaki 7 days, and spent 3 days in my bed !
My stomach and intestines felt like a ticking time-bomb , and got a lot of medications !

Hope for a speedy recovery for Lance !

Yeah just 37 thousandth's between HAM and MAX!
and it's always a good comment from Max.

FormulaMMM · 10-10-2020, 09:37 AM

What a lap from VER. If only he could have split them... Were there any race pace insights from P3??

My friend that's the time of the wind displacement from a Kawasaki fart !

yco · 10-10-2020, 09:54 AM

wow just had 4 laps and Hulk will go to race tomorrow.. though his car was looking much much stiffer than Red Bull and Merc' not sure even the basic setup was right for him.. its great to have him back..

lack of data was clearly visible today but it was fun.. Bottas put together a better lap and nailed it.. well done to him.. Lewis will be there tomorrow for hunting im sure..

Leclerc.. big grats to him for driving that Ferrari that good.. not much behind from front row but 0.7s ahead of Vettel.. again.. wow.. without a notice that guy is improving each day..

Red Bull was looking strong especially in first part of FP3 but not not onwards through the session.. but now things look quite ok for the car.. tomorrow there ll be a good race i believe.. and since Pirelli tires are not good below 15c we can see weird tire behaviors tomorrow as well.. 2 stop is quite likely to happen because of this.. or some rain can come in somewhere around mid race..

MKSixer · 10-10-2020, 10:02 AM

Alert: 4 of the last 5 races have been won from P2. HAM won from P2 in 2011.

msk340i · 10-10-2020, 10:12 AM

T1 will be interesting. Not a lot of practice, different temperatures, tight turn, HAM vs BOT and LEC vs VER. Mark my words, at least one car of the top 4 will DNF at T1.
