3 S2000s and a Cayman on Monday
4 S2000s and a Cayman on Tuesday

Mine's the black one, Dembo's is a JDM Silverstone, and MB's is Moonrock.

Highside will be there in his Moonrock on Tuesday.

Oh, and this is a good (IMHO) video, including some tips I picked up from my instructor last year.

Watch here from 3mins in

Good video Simon, smooth as a cashmere codpiece.

One in my signature too when I had the Exige.

On another note, remember hi vis vest, warning triangle, euro breakdown, insurance docs, travel insurance etc.

I don't bother with the GB sticker or headlight crap

Nice driving - the downhill stint to Eau Rouge looks as though it could catch you out if you're not careful.

Who's done the fastest lap time (on the forum) in an S at Spa?

Eau Rouge is a a tricky one and there are a couple of ways to tackle it. One way is not to take it flat as a guy I know tried.... and ended up in the wall of the pit exit

Indeed, My "lift off at the bridge" technique is a very safe way to do it, as it gets everything ready well in advance, and you don't really lose any speed that way.

One could keep accelerating further down the hill and then braking, but that's much harder for us "Average Joes"

As for the fastest in an S2000, that'd be me, as I'm the only one with a video of it

Somewhere around 3:21.
