A few pics from my recent trip to Fiorano with my GTO

How many men does it make to fit my towing eye before going on track? (in the end they gave up and just said don't drive into the gravel traps!)



Black obviously looks better!



Flat out on the main straight. We were lucky to have a "noisy" day, often you have to lift after the final hairpin coming onto the straight, due to local noise numpties believe it or not!



Fernando arrives - looking a bit tense to begin with (who wouldn't, wearing those sunglasses)



Okay Fernando, a little tip, drive faster, do you understand? smile (PS. he was awesome)



Er, that's my wife what the hell are you doing!! smile



A bit of fun later on the "driving pad" - car very easy to drive sideways in Race mode smile



The world's best road - the Grimsel Pass, viewed from the Belvedere glacier last weekend (my ears are still ringing)



Cars having a well-earned rest before continuing with the twisties...

Am off to Lake Como in my QP at the end of the month, may have to factor in the Grimsel Pass having just read up about it.

Best option is to take the Sustenpass then the Grimsel, onto the Furka and then over the Gotthard. On the way back instead of heading towards Gotthard head towards San Bernadino for the pass there.

Can't argue with that! Great pics Andrew. Looking forward to seeing and hearing the 2 black beasts on my favourite road very soon...
