Description
We spent two days at the best race circuit in the world, Spa Francorchamps, to see how much faster the UK's cheapest Gen 2 R8 V10 is, now that it's been fitted with high-end Ohlins coilovers and other goodies by Emerson, from For Racing Use Only.
Two full days on track was hard on the car, but it didn't miss a beat, until the brake pedal went flat at 160mph and Ricky had a brown-pants moment!
We discovered just how bad it could've been when we got back to the workshop...
Huge thanks to Emerson for spending two days with us and for all the hard work customising and setting up the awesome Ohlins coilovers. If you're looking for expert track or motorsport suspension setup – he's your man!
