Thom are you going to get the 944 on the track this time?

Well, my tyres are dead, my shocks are dead, my gearbox is leaking...but why not!
If you don't mind oil on the track it will be a pleasure, especially for you Donald: imagine going sideways even on the straights

But my old man will be driving his AC for sure

Love to go but the car will probably be in the bodyshop & I'm skint as well. Have fun with your porker, I shall expect tales of destroyed tyres & brakes.

[Thom]

Time to bring this thread on top back again!
Anybody else interested?

That was a very good trackday, with pretty impressive machinery, from E-types to latest 911.

64 cars in all:

- very very fast 996 GT2 tuned to 500bhp and running on slicks which I clocked at 2'54"; you wouldn't believe how efficient the ceramic brakes are on this car: when arriving in Eau Rouge it was still accelerating after the 200 meter placard!
- 996 GT3`
- several early 911s (2.0 ?)
- Lotus Ford JPS formula one,
- Lola T290,
- McLaren (Can Am ?),
- single seater Aston Martin,
- supercharged DB4 GT, superb turbine sound!
- 2 E-types coupés, very fast,
- half a dozen Cobras (many Mk4 and a Mk2)
- standard 360 Modena F1
- race-spec 360 Modena
- 250 GTB/4
- of course, Donald's Chimaera 450
- dad's AC Bristol 1962
- and many others which I can't recall now...

Donald's awesome driving style impressed much of the crowd: In Eau Rouge he easily overtook the Modena F1 in his unique sideways technique; we were all gobsmacked

Sad though there weren't more TVRs; hopefully you lot may make the move next time!

Pictures to follow soon

What a day!
Driving on a track that is over 4 miles long is really something, still got stiff arms! The speed the Porsches carried into the corners was amazing.
I think guy in the 360 was probably concerned about a dirty blue TVR bouncing of his £100K Ferrari and let me through, felt good at the time though We should have some video footage when the cameraman gets his video capture card working.
Definately worth doing!
