could be a 430... I suck at recognising the ferrari models... I spend most of the time drooling at the noise they make :D

There was a professional photographer on site that day and he took some pics... Will put them up when I get them, I'm hoping it'll be better than the ones I've posted

I've caught the trackday bug bigtime... Planning my next one already :)

Pics from the photographer finally arrived...

here comes the best 5 low res pics, with his shameless attempt at copyrighting on display:











I'd love to order proper high res pics from him but he's charging £25 for 5!!! :censored:

On the track I got raped by the Ferrari, GT3RS, a CooperS that must have its own built in hyperdrive and a Caterham... Other than that I was pretty much running rings round everyone...

It was my mate on the track when the teg was around (I was in the passenger seat :p) I didn't get a proper run against it as I told my mate to let him pass... It was his first trackday so he was taking it easy in my car. It took him a while to learn the lines and use all of the track... as you can see in pic below he was quite far from the apex but he got alot better towards the end and gave the mini and teg a good run.

What I did find surprising was that a Ford Puma managed to keep up pretty well with me, I'd open a huge gap on straights but the Puma would catch up around the corners. That said, I was having a nightmare with arch clearence issues as there was alot of rubbing on the fronts so I couldn't push very hard. The last pic on this post shows how ridiculously little room I had to play with on the arches when cornering...

I caved in and bought a few high res pics... :D










Next stop - Castle Combe Sep 26th. With a new bodykit, some rollbars and a decent set of rims with some proper offset that won't rub against the arches I'm hoping the car will look and handle even better :cool:
