One of the things that earns respect amongst F1 drivers is the ability to drive the Eau Rouge sequence of bends at Spa Francochamps without lifting.. Those cars must have INCREDIBLE grip .

Can you do it in GT6, and if so driving which car, and using which tyres?

Many high powered cars can get round Eau Rouge without lifting, you just need the right line into it.
 
If you've got downforce then its easy, if not I'd say about 470pp is more or less the cut off point for being able to go through flat out in a road car safely
 
I raced a Megane Trophy at Spa and couldn't do it flat.

Then again, it was a spec race, so there was no tuning allowed. I would hit the corner at ~140 MPH and lift off just a little to drop the speed to about 135 MPH and then get back on the gas.
 
Try it with a fully tuned catherham with sport soft tyres. Its so much fun to drive it full in eau rouge, but wathc the exit cuz it might surprise you :)
