Driving the Super Trofeo
Discussion
Just back from a track day at Monza in the Super Trofeo.
The car has never run before but it performed faultlessly in blazing heat. It was unbelievably hot inside (>50 deg) but an awesome awesome experience. Despite its menacing looks, it is quite easy to drive, with huge reserves of grip, easy to get heat into the slicks, and it has a lovely positive front end which made it a joy to fire into the chicanes and the Parabolica whilst carrying seemingly impossible entry speeds. The brakes are extremely strong and well balanced - very hard braking from around 275kmh into the first chicane and not a hint of locking. It was fairly easy to push hard - flat from the first chicane and through Curva Grande for example. Driving it again at Hockenheim in October - can't wait!
Here are some pics. I will post in car video when I get that working.
