Just been out in an exige 350 Sport with Tublar exhaust as a passenger.......booking a test drive too see how it feels as a driver. Anyone had one and a GT4? It felt like a missile compared to my GTS, and revs to 8500rpm

It's been up for sale for a while. I'm sure I saw it discussed somewhere before.

11,600 miles lol, as some say

I'm looking forward to tomorrow guys, its going to be a hot one at 28 degree, especially with the usual rules of arms and legs fully covered!

You guys arriving first thing for the briefing? Does a passenger need a briefing, I was thinking of turning up around 10 / 10:30.

Cheers

I'm intending to travel up tonight, to ensure I'm there for first briefing.
Passengers don't need a briefing so 10/1030 will be fine, running won't have long started.

I've not been to Donington before, so will need a bit of time to get up to speed/feel comfortable, and probably some instruction... after that... 'chocks away!'

Thats a great car and price... I'm shocked it hasn't sold already.

Mileage is likely the reason?

The dealership has history...

Is it the GP or National Circuit? I prefer GP, just feel it flows more. Instruction is ideal for sure, I had some for the first time at the Ring 2 weeks ago and it just made me so much more smoother and faster at the same time. I have driven Donington more times than i can remember in road and race cars so if lines / turn in points etc I can offer my knowledge for what its worth. Your going to love Donington, its my favorite circuit in the UK.

All the GP does over the national at Donington is to add a bit more track length through the hairpin (to use more of your brakes too ) rather than change the nature of the circuit? It's just a chicane into the pit straight without that iirc for the National.

Went out for my first proper spirited drive in the GT4 on Saturday, joined by a mate in his M2. Here are some pics for you to enjoy :-)

Sorry got that wrong, I prefer the National, no hairpin! I just find attacking that the chicane and getting back on the straight hammering toward redgate just flows nicer as it is a quick circuit, the GP you end up with 2 hairpins one after the other taking the pace out of the lap, i really dislike them.

[Jim1556]

I quite like Donington, but Cadwell is my favourite. Both of them far more interesting than the likes of flat, boring Silverstone. Brands Hatch would be fantastic if they used the GP circuit always instead of just occasionally, shame...

I wouldn't be happy with the bolster wear at 11K miles, I know there buckets but.

Anyone see this one at Redline?

Seems good value, but the colour for me isn't great.

Absolutely awesome, so planted and just continued to build my confidence throughout the trip. The one hairpin you can see in the picture, I tried to get the back end out for a bit of fun, but the thing just continued to stick to the road like glue!

It was a bit of sensible spirited driving, so I was operating within my limits, rather than the cars, in that respect my old Cayman S is just as capable (for me) and comparable on those roads. But the GT4 is so much more a sense of occasion with the noise, light weight buckets, manual vs PDK (old Cayman S was PDK) etc.

One thing I am thankful for is the brakes. A sheep (it's Wales, so standard here) decided to walk out in front of me, the brakes are good!

I'm definitely thrilled with the car!
