I posted this somewhat early to give people a chance to make the $525,250 needed to buy this car and get it race ready.  Couple seasonals and you should be good to go.

I'd prefer nobody uses turbo's or engine mods and then use the power limiter but I know I have no way to prohibit that without completely taking tuning out of the equation, which I don't want to do.

Hope to see you there!  :)

I need work at Les Combes, I'm very slow through that corner.

Also, I dare you to try and find pit entrance.

Drove a few laps here for the first time last night, and I'm pretty sure I remember going thru the bus stop.  Then again I could be completely making that up

We do have the bus stop. It's the crazy chicane (It's a u turn then a left) right before start/finish.

Our version is different than the map up above which is what I remember from NFS shift (my only other experience with Spa). The chicane at the end isn't the Bus stop. The starting left and right turn of the bus stop is missing from our version.

Sniper is actually correct, I think.  In the pic from my first post the chicane is a hard left, then a hard right.

In this shot below (and in the game) it's a hard right, then a hard left.  They may have recently switched it, I'm not sure.

From Wikipedia...


"Redevelopment for 2007 season

With a new financial backer, the renovation started on November 6, 2006 and finished in May 2007, costing around €19 million.[12]

Formula 1 returned to Spa for 2007, with a modified track layout. The Bus Stop chicane was moved back towards Blanchimont and the La Source hairpin moved forward. This allowed more space for the new pit lane. The modifications gave a longer start/finish straight"
