I'd like to optimise the SLs setup for a track bias. Does anyone have any recommendations for specialists who have setup Gallardos for this before? South England ideally.

Cheers

I asked the question when I looked at SL's a couple of months ago.

I spoke to a technician at Lambo London who told me it's easy to do apparently - camber, toe, ride height all adjustable.

I drove an SL on track and found it be to quite understeery but generally very competent on track. With a good setup it could be a lot of fun. Was also impressed with the solidity and general unburstable feel. The car I drove was on track constantly for the best part of a day and didn't miss a beat. The ceramic brakes were a touch grabby but effective and fade free. Perhaps trying different pad/fluid combo will resolve that issue.

If they are local you might also try http://www.lamborghiniservice.co.uk/

Failing that try one of the specialists that support the Porsche trackday scene. Parr, Fearnsport or JZ Machtech are all excellent.

Thanks Scott, I see Lambo High Wycombe are running a Gallardo in the British GT championship so would make sense that they know something about optimum setup. Cheers

That would be great, thanks.

How was the Gallardo in testing?
