On track with the Ferrari 360 CS and 328 GTS

In my previous thread on my circuit experience remark to Shan2unu , I plan to relive life again and I have. None of this dreaming of 4 wheel NOS Swifts, no liabilities of 190 km/h on Marine drive - Just do it as Uncle Nike would say! The earlier course gave me the confidence to push them hard.

Here are some teaser pics - full report next week when I am back. Yes, thats me in the driver seat.

Mods - when I finish the report you might need to move this to experiences or somewhere as it involves other cars

Hey Ajmat

Dying to read about your experiences in two Ferraris (in one day?) Boy you seem to be enjoying as much as i did once upon a time, except i was far too young to push the cars back then.

BTW, 360CS... haven't heard of Ferrari producing the Challenge in cab form though. Or is it a typo?

Ban him, but after his complete report!

You are right - it was a typo- was a humble spyder - but it is worth it for the soundtrack alone.

Expletives.....expletives. Man, somebody take his passport away. You are making it very hard for me to concentrate on my exams.

With experiences like those, I wouldn't mind being bankrupt for a while. Hell i've been bankrupt for 20 yrs now.

You didn't try your hands on a single Porsche?

did a Boxter two years ago. I actually wanted to do the Porsche but no courses were available. They did have a Porsche available to drive three laps for 60 pounds but it must be done before the high speed drive (they do not want you to get ideas!!!) - alas the porsche came late as the pads needed to be changed......next time

Just curious, which Porsche was it?

BTW, UK makes up for what it loses by Greed Cameras by way of Trackdays. What a concept, push to the limits without a care in the world.
