You need to get in to the UK GT Cup.

Plenty in that...

That is mental! Fair play

I have been in your garage across the road from the Vanquish owner, you very kindly showed me your F430, hopefully see this at some point.

How difficult would it be to make it road legal? Imagine bringing this on a PH run!
There was a guy on here who had an FF and a road legal 458 challenge car amongst his collection.

I think you will find he just stuck his 'road' 458 reg plate on the challenge wink

How did it go at Knockhill today? I only saw the car on track twice the whole day, and one of those times was me overtaking!

It looks absolutely outrageous and it sounds it too. Do knockhill have a sound limit?

Amazing pictures as always Jack!

This was first time out on track and ended up doing only two or three laps due to an engine misfire hence only running on 6 cylinders. Cars currently in having a new ion control unit which appears to be the offending part. Fingers crossed it will be out soon on all cylinders... Handling was immense even on cold tyres which made it all the more frustrating to have to pack up and go home!

Hi Duncan,

I was just looking to see who else from Pistonheads is at Spa next Tuesday, then i found your thread.
Youve been busy since we last spoke at Ditton..

Great car, and i love the man maths that make buying a 458 race car a cheap option ha ha.

Look forward to catching up with you next week,
I'll be in my csl or 1m so wont be able to keep up on track obviously..

cheers Jamie

Looks outrageously good!

Who looks after a 458 Challenge car then? Ferrari dealership?

Saw this today at Knockhill. Incredible car, and driven the way it should be.

Well done on living every PH'ers dream!
