GT 3 race in Portugal
Discussion
I'm down in the Algarve for the GT3 (drove down in the Aero). Anyway, the saftey car is the Weissman V10. Got chatting with the guys there and we did a swap so got to drive the safety car in exchange for them having a blast in the Aero.
Interesting car, around 510 bhp but not as much torque as you might expect. Sequential gearbox very slow to change compared the unit in my aero but I believe they will be using something different in the future. Very quiet though inside (OK I guess on long trips, although driving poesition is slightly odd). Prefer the sound of my V8.
Felt nicely planted on the road though although at €200,000 plus, think I will stick with my 'bargain basement' Aero!
The Weissman was a negative image of my aero, Yellow body, black wheels, black leather and yellow stiching.

Was it Peter you were speaking to? Nice guy. I've driven the black MF3 they sometimes bring. Very refined, think it had the 4.6 BMW V8.Interesting car, around 510 bhp but not as much torque as you might expect.
