If you want to sell a V8 Vantage S, use this!

I see Aston have put out the new N430 video and as the comments are saying, its not very good.
What they should of done is just done a lap of the Ring like this one....

Couple of things i get from it.
1. Sounds wonderful.
2. Good lane discipline from the other Users, i dont think it was held up at all.
3. Whoever was driving made it look so effortless and still posted a quick time.
4. Not one car over took it!

An excellent clip - thanks for bringing my attention to that.
However lets not forget he has at least a 2 litre capacity advantage over most of the cars he overtakes.
A top clip nonetheless,

Wow.... I really enjoyed that!!!

Was the orange Pork a GT3?

Mesmirising. Full respect for pace, lines and trust in other drivers. Reminds me I need to book my AM session at Thruxton

Excellent clip, not that I am at all biased. Excellent lines through the bends, definitely a pro driver. (Paul was it you?) Nice to see people pulling over, good manners. Neil I reckon he passed 2 GT3'S.

He passed a GTR as well and what looked like an Exige. Can only assume he was a Pro Driver that knows the circuit.

Assuming a lot aren't you boys? The driver may not be a 'he'. Don't forget about the Queen of the 'Ring. Mind you if it had been Sabine I expect she would have improved on that time

What, girls can drive cars, and especially Astons!
Miracles will never cease

Seemed to take an age to out-accelerate the Golf when coming out of the pits.

[petop]

I thought that as well. Germany though is the land of the modified Golf so its probably been fettled a bit but even so it wasn't giving up without a fight.

Here's the same car, from the outside:

I think you're right petop, that Golf appeared to be far from standard! The Aston was well driven though, and I sense he/she was fairly intimate with the 'ring given the use of kerbs. There are some that you wouldn't go over in a tractor but the driver knew exactly which apex to cut - good work. I was stamping on the imaginary brakes when the BMW overtook the bike! Cracking video, thanks for posting.

Golf hits the gas a couple of seconds earlier than the TB and it will seem like an age

Who else here thought the motorcycle was going to be run off the track at 06:45?

Here is a video of a much faster lap in the same car.:
