It's not flat on a bike. Doing about 160mph as you turn in, need to drop a gear and have a good brake before you get back on the throttle.

OMG.....that's wow at 130.
think I was close in the VX, but it was only doing 100, at best.
Can't wait to give it a go in the V6......NOT .

Looking forward to trying to match my bike time in the Exige. Somehow I don't think I'll manage it. Awesome on the bike though.

Stu, I'm sure the VX would be more than 100. In a 160bhp k series, you were just about on the limiter in 4th which was about 120mph. You would lose about 10mph going up the hill, flat in 4th, and then take all of the kemmel straight to get back up to 120 and just grab 5th if you had a tail wind.

Ha Stu the V6 will defo not be flat! I'd imagine it'll be making a healthy speed by the entry.
Without a pax the 211 would do it but needed corrections.
They made it harder moving La Source further back...actually the trick may be a particularly poor exit there...fluff a gear change etc.
Ape it must be just about a straight line on a bike no?
Standard 120bhp Elise I recommend a good book for the Kemmel...

I thought about that cheat too.
Strangely more twisty on a bike and I was quite slow up eau rouge.

It's about 100mph at the slowest point on a bike.
