Celebrating my 2nd weekend as a GT3 owner, finally got some decent pics taken and thought I'd share spin

So far no complaints - finding the whole experience great. I'm no super hero driver and have just been enjoying some quiet roads and getting a feel for the car. Hope to be attacking a track very shortly.

Not sure I can keep it looking this good for long, there'll be layer of road muck along shortly I'm sure driving

Could I ask what kind of camera you used? The results look good for indoor shots (My camera needs replacing!)

The photos where taken by Gurcharn at Elite Detailing after he had finished my car. He uses a Canon EOS 350, I have a 400 and it makes me looks a much better photographer than I am!

Also think he has standing spot lights which help the photos, I tried to replicate last night with my camera and couldn't get the same light quality

The detailing work he did was amazing, even taking a large scratch out of the roof which some kindly fellow had made for me. Can't recommend his work highly enough

I strongly suggest you take your parking arrangements off here sharpish - would hate for you to be posting in a few days that your pride and joy has disappeared.

Cheers, having never tracked it before. Whats the best place to start off? I actually get track day insurance through my work policy so absolutely no excuse, not that I need one!

dependant where you live i hear bedford autodrome is good for the beginner

its more of an airfield rather than a track but it have flat ans safe run off areas which will not kill the car should you go off piste

try colerne air feild near bath. lots of track days there and very smooth tarmac with lots of runoff area. cheap too , about £100 for all day open pit lane .motor sports events do a lot of track days here.
best place to learn your car i think !
hope it helps.

you have a point - however the car par is really secure, guards, cameras, electric gate, terminators, lasers

I used Elite a couple of week ago on my C2 Cab and again the results were stunning. I never thought that such a dark colour (Seal Grey) could be made to look so good. The car looks better than when I picked it up. Highly recommended.
