Finally got a 718 GT4!
Discussion
Finally managed to get on track for the first time yesterday a peril of buying in December! got to Donington with RMA. Settled into it really quickly the EXC/TC was off on the second session such was my confidence in the handling. Brakes as ever were absolutely solid all day the PCCB is an essential option on these cars imho. I didn't get the chance to get on the Hunter before this trackday so the car is completely stock at the moment. The lack of camber on the front really shows with a bit of understeer on the GP circuit hairpin. This same lack of camber does really make the steering very nice on the road though!
So a good day its not the quickest thing in the world but certainly entertaining. I'm thinking of having the OPF bypass pipes I have been told they release a fair bit of power on the 718 does anyone have any feedback on this?
I dont have insurance no. I take it fairly steady in the more expensive cars and stick to the lower number days. With RM there are about half the number of cars on track normally. It as a fully booked day but not a queue all day. A few red flags (because Donington) but generally quiet out on track.

Fair play to you but you boys are the reason I steered clear of a GT4 and ended up with a GTS . Arse ragged out of the car whilst some bloke goes racing on the cheap then back into the OPC network and sold with one careful owner to some unsuspecting Buyer . Don't think I necessarily disapprove , perhaps we should start a Thread on the perils of buying a used GT4
There are plenty of people that don't track them each to their own but it's a GT4 they are supposed to be hammered around track. Not all of them will be far from it actually. One with sofas is unlikely to be tracked I would say maybe have a close look at club sport cars with steel brakes that has to be the hardcore track drivers weapon of choice.
