I'd stopped on the grid box behind the car in front and the marshals just kept waving us forwards until we were that close so they could get all the cars in. I suspect they were also having a bit of a laugh at our expense though!
When we pulled away you couldnt see a darn thing for all the cars around. Had a bit of an ooops moment when the car in front dived suddenly right and revealed that one of the cars from the front had stalled on the grid, closing speed was about 50, in the wet.
Excellent circuit though, great fun through the middle sector. eau rouge was fun the first few times, but the bimmers lacked the power to keep it exciting for long. best was pouhon, fighting at the limit of grip I ended up going round there 3 abreast a couple of times. Think I laughed out loud each time I came out of that corner.
