Unusual track day cars?
Discussion
I recently did a trackday at Castle Combe in this bad boy!
It was only to learn the circuit in preparation for my race the week after but I had an absolute blast in it.
It couldn't handle more than 15 minute sessions though, with thick black smoke pouring from the brakes when I came in - I must say the brakes didn't fade at all!
Additionally, despite the eco tyres spending all day screeching away, they weren't scrubbed in at all and you'd never have guessed they'd spent a day on track looking at them!

Saw a Volvo V60 estate today at Brands, the Polestar version.
It did a lot of laps and was quick, it's also far more Q car then the German types of cars.
Aston Martin Vanquish at a track day also today - seems like they were doing a shoot for James Bond as one track marshall described it to me,hmm, but far more likely someone won a fandabydozzy MSV prize to do some laps with a driver. This picture will keep my marshall happy though
Have to hand it to Ben, I was not doing that in my car through clearways

I was still thinking about how I cocked up Graham Hill bend again
