Hooray! Good on you! Now, are you one of those driver who drive well to just pass the test, or do you actually drive well?

I do actually drive well ;D
I passed my theoretical exam in may 2007, right after I got 17 (birthday is 30th april) because I really wanted to drive. I planned to do the practical exam right when I got 18 this year, but school exams ruined the fun so I had to wait until yesterday. But that long wait made being able to practice for over a year, so I know I do drive well now. I didn't make any mistake or got any remark on the practical exam either.
And yesh, independence here I come ;D

I'll be driving to Spa (again) this weekend, cause I'm going to see the 24hour of Spa-Francorchamps. Amazing circuit, amazing cars, amazing race, amazing atmosphere, amazing weekend... I've been in Spa before for two 24hour races and one F1 Grand Prix. Like I already said, the atmosphere is really amazing, you should really come there once in your life ;D And I absolutely don't care about "race cars polluting the environment", blah!  |

Hehe it's says in live in Charler....WHAT?! CHARLEROI?!  I do NOT live in Charleroi!  Btw, I'm back from the 24hours of Spa and it was even greater than I expected. We (me and my dad) left on saturday, early in the morning (yes, 9.30 is early ;D). When we passed Liège we could already see that we were driving to Spa again, because cars started to pass us that were a little bit more expensive that the average traffic on the highway. It was quite exciting to drive in the Ardennes again, I didn't remember the sweeping uphill and downhill highways had such sharp corners. Anyways, when we arrived in Spa, we put up our tent on one of the over-expensive campings (20 freaking euros for just one night...) and walked to the circuit. At 13.00 the last side race started, a race of the British Formula 3 championship. When it was finished we took a walk through the paddocks of those teams and I started to become jealous at the Formula 3 drivers that were exactly my age. One hour before the start of the 24hour race we took place at the Eau rouge, the most famous track corner in the world. At 15.45 the 24hour cars entered the circuit and finally you could hear that eardeaffening and wonderful, marvelous and delicious engine noise again. Then at last, at 16.00 the race started. We spent the rest of that day walking around the circuit, observing how the cars were raced, how the drivers shifted gears, where they started to brake, what line they followed through corners, what mistakes they made etc. Night started to fall at around 21.00 and we went to the tribunes at the start-finish line to see the pitlane and the pitstops. Right at that moment the race leader crashed and his Corvette caught fire (he was unharmed though). At 23.00 we went back to our tent and large fireworks started to celebrate the 60th birthday of Porsche. We went to sleep with the noise of engines and woke up at 04.00 with the noise of engines to go back to the track and see how they raced in the dark. Then, again, we went to sleep with the noise of engines and woke up with the noise of engines at daybreak. We walked around the circuit, to eventually head to the tribunes to see the finish of the race at 16.00. Eric van de Poele won for the 5th time in his Maserati (which is a record). I found it sad to leave the circuit and the atmoshpere of the race again. The noise, the racing at night, going to sleep and waking up with the sound of engines, the drama of cars that crash and have to give up, the victory...everything was just great there, even the rain. If you don't like motor racing you probably can't believe what's so great and entertaining about all the blabla I wrote. But believe me, there are a lot of people that understand what I mean |
