Hi, does anyone know how I would be able to get RAOC tickets for the Spa meeting in early June ?
As the Silverstone meeting is unlikely to happen, I need my yearly Fix of V6 3.5 screaming engines !!!
And Belgium is prettier than Northampton, even if it's raining !!! ...
About Ten times the cost of going to Silverstone, but I might win the Lottery next week ????? :roll:

Sadly or otherwise, the WSR 3.5 series this year have switched from the older Nissan based engine to a pure race V8 Zytech built motor. So no v6 3.5, unless you mean the Megane's as they do still use the V6.
I have sent a registration form to your email address.

Thanks for the form Mark, and have replied to your email !
V8's are always better than V6's, have a bit more of a Growl to them !!! 8)
But it seems strange that they can call it WSR, unless the Zytech engine is produced by Renault or Nissan !!
I thought all the chassis were built by Independants, and the only thing that united the Renault theme was the engines !!
Might have to be called WSSOO !! "World Series Something Or Other" :lol:

Engine is badged as a Renault and no doubt development paid for by Renault;. Lapped at Aragon last week 3 secs quicker than the previous car. The chassis is still the same Dallara built one but now with F1 style flap on rear wing, downforce reduction device type thingey.

Yeah, watched last weeks race on Eurosport, was Good !!
DRS is a bit different to F1, but its great to be able to use it whenever they want for 15 mins !! ..... but I think the delay in getting the downforce to work again is something they will have to perfect over the entire series !!
Must be scary initially !! ...... But I'm sure they''ll get the hang of it !! :D
