Thanks for that chaps, I'll have to "borrow" my mates ATB book next time I see him.
Just been reading about the Masta Kink
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
The Masta Kink was one of the most fearsome sections on any race track in the world, requiring skill and bravery in equal measure to get it right. After a long run from Malmedy, the cars would reach top speed before having to negotiate Masta, a high speed left-right chicane, and a good exit speed was vital as it is followed by another long straight run to Stavelot
I now have visions of some mad SS drivers trying out their racing skills.
Whilst walking around the wooded in-feild I saw my first Crested Tit which is another of my interests, so I must be the only WW2-enthusiast who went to the Ardennes NOT to see the site of the Battle of the Bulge but visit a race-track when there was no race on and see a bird he hadn't seen before.
There were some Mercedes there on a track day so was at least able to see something fly up the Eau-Rouge.
