Really enjoyed my first trip to the Alps and Austria in a long while last month. Car was brilliant, really came alive and encouraged me to push hard on the passes (where safe!). And not uncomfortable at all getting there and back which was arguably more amazing!!
Stunning car & colour Combo

Serious?
Yeah - really did enjoy it. It is not a big circuit, however it has fast corners and lots of elevation changes (a la Spa) which add a lovely dimension to it. Plus the corners come at you thick and fast a bit like the second half of the ring....but it does have run off areas and large gravel traps so you can lean on the corners for max grip without having a barrier 6ft away from you.You also enter the long main straight at 90+ mph and accelerate to 150+ (depending on car) before throwing out the anchors for corner 1 and hoping you make the turn and do not end up in the gravel trap!

We stopped there last week en route to Dijon. I trailered so that I could take additional tyres - slicks, wets, etc - as all weathers were expected.
Gratuitous Reims tow-shot.
Great tow vehicle. I had two of those, above was first. Apparently they can tow at 90 when you're late ofr a ferry. So I'm told.

Yes I've heard the same rumours. Great tow vehicle. I had two of those, above was first. Apparently they can tow at 90 when you're late ofr a ferry. So I'm told.
They are excellent tow cars. Also once you drop all the rear seats they are cavernous for taking spare sets of wheels, tools, luggage and other paraphernalia.
