We all knew from WTTT that F1 cars got the best timings in Spa, Lotus 125, MP4/4, F14T, F1 412 T2. I got 1:38 ish with F14T(PR 123) all assists off, but I know it is not the best - Heck it didn't even beat Lotus 125 top record in Spa WTTT. I think the most important areas I have to improve upon are:

1.  La Source  - Brake early to get the maximum exiting speed.

2.  Les Combes - Balancing turn 8 and turn 9 exiting speed. Sometimes I get full throttle exiting turn 8 but would have to brake again for turn 9. Sometimes I brake more at turn 8 to prepare to run flat out on turn 9.

3.  Pouhon corner. IMO this is the hardest corner at Spa.

I know we can look at how SpeedJunkie does it in youtube, but questions:

1.  Can you can run flat out at Turn 8/9 Les Combes after braking at turn 7?

2.  I saw there's only one instance where someone can run flat out at Pouhon corner:

F1 Circuit Guide shows entry speed of Pouhon is usually around 180mph.

-->  The following is the craziest one:

F1 2017. Some guy ran flat out at Pouhon corner.

Question:  Is that even technically possible? Is F1 2017 more real than RR3 or it's not? Did any of you guys run flat out like the guy in F1 2017 with the RR3 open-wheelers, F14T, F1 412 T2, MP4/4, Lotus 125?

Really wish I could run it flat out but I tried so many times and I just had to brake before entering it.

Any expert advice would be appreciated.

PS:  Yes I did the homework. SpeedJunkie's Lotus lap had to brake it down to 275ish to enter Pouhon.
