cheers smile

It was a great track, but we had mixed weather conditions which made it quite interesting when thunderstorms in a car with no driver aids wobble

Here's a bit of footage https://youtu.be/tCnBmYsYAHc

Looking forward to going back again in the future and hopefully be a dry day

Can a particular car get any any better, It is starting to concern me how much I enjoy my GT2. It seems like its actually getting more savagely rapid in its old age and the handling
on the new rear tyres has changed the rear end grip with a nice balanced feel through the twisties.

Had an absolute blast on Sunday with KAL on the drive back after Silverstone Classic, great event but that blast back through the country gave me goose bumps !

Need to really organise this trip now chaps. Lets discuss next week.

IM OFF FOR A DRIVE !

Via Prada on the east side of Lake Garda. From Prada to Porto brilliant road, better then the Stelvio, more hairpins and much much steeper ( not allowed for cars with automatic gearbox and campers ).

I did the road immediately west of Lake Guarda in a TVR years ago and that was fun, but that looks pretty hairy! Presumably, that's one-way, right? yikes

Not exactly an ideal road for the talents of a GT2, a hot hatch would be better suited with a bit of ground clearance and compliant suspension.

I am guessing this is a male anorack only trip, any self respecting Porsche WAG would throw up on that road hehe

Nope. we just did route one from Villa Capri, up through to Riva, as we were heading straight into Germany. Looks ace!

Yes, you're right. 7 male drivers in 7 Porsches. 8 days of driving through the Alps and Dolomites.
Organising a new trip every year.

What an amazing trip ! Lake Como has got to be one of the most stunning places I have been, Ville de este truly is first class.
