Fantastic. Any prominent Belgians?
And Eddy Merckx, the world's most famous cannibal.
Oh. Wow. Since we're in Belgium, what's the lap record of Spa on a bicycle?
Glad you asked.

Mongols?
No mongols.
What beer do we need for the race?
Gulden Draak. Gulden Draak (Dutch for Golden Dragon) is a dark Belgian beer with high alcohol by volume (10.5%), brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge in Ertvelde, East Flanders. It is named after the golden dragon at the top of the belfry in Ghent. Gulden Draak has a strong scent of alcohol, which hampers the ability to easily define its aroma. Still, there is a powerful fragrance of barley, ripe plums, and cherries. Different testers worldwide mention a sweet coffee aroma. Compared to the aroma, the taste is influenced somewhat less by the alcohol. It hints at sour cherries and brown sugar. The aftertaste is somewhat bitter. Gulden Draak also has a high alcohol content for a beer at 10.5%. Gulden Draak was awarded the best-tasting beer in the world in 1998 by the American Tasting Institute (now ChefsBest).
Enjoy the GP!

I would rather drive round it in a quick car. Well any car really.

If that means less turds for you, and more for me, I'll happily take it.

Here I am, on a diet, trying to lose at least some weight. The OP gave me motivation. And then someone posted waffles.
