On Sunday 8th of September we've been to Francorchamps to have a driving course. The circuit was on wet asfalt and contained 10 meters straight line.
490 meters where occupied with corners flowing into eachother. Of course I don't have to tell you that we had alot of fun! First we were refreshed with the theory which I heart before on other driving courses. After that it was practise time.
We were send on track with an Alfa 147 (which is FWD) with slicks at the rear. Lovely how you could play and play and play ;)

The last half our we were able to drive with our own car, and that was what I was waiting for. The first couple of rounds I was giving the car some time to warm up and to feel the track.
After that I tried to apply the rally principle of "appel - contre appel", which is throwing the car from the one into the other corner using the cars weight/massa.

Lap after lap it went better and better.. i still can hear the instructor yell to me: 'Goood gooooodd!', while he was pushing himself against the Recaro seats ;) The expression on his face was showing me which adredaline was flowing threw his body, it still makes me smile ;)
