Had another go on the track today what a buzzzzz!!

[Kylie]

We got a group of mates together and hired one of the largest tracks in NZ (Pukekohe)for an hour. We mixed it up with two Esprits (89SE and 89 non SE) a Porsche GT2 (rocket ship), several hotrods (500 plus bhp) and a early 90's Honda racing car. Was brilliant. I finally found my limits on hard braking going into corners (serious brake fade) spun out did a full 360+, landed safely in the grass - phew!! I still can't beleive the amazing performance all round it has. There were a couple of times I thought I am not going to make this corner and the car just goes around no worries even on worn tires. The handling on these things are surpurb!! I want bigger brakes though a definate weakness. Tried looking at the speedo on the straights, think I had it up to 210/220km, perhaps more but don't trust my brakes to bring me in on time before the hair-pin oh well maybey next time not to be such a chicken

Cheers Brett, you need to get some free web hosting from somewhere. I decided to keep all this stuff seperate from my art site at the moment, so have uploaded a whole bunch of photos to webshots its free.
When your in webshots and uploaded pics, copy the whole web link to here. put this around the whole link: [pic]..... [/pic] and preview it before posting, if you cant preview the pic dont post it. Seems to work for me anyway. Best of luck.
regards
Kylie

Good to hear you had fun. I intend, one day to uprate the brakes. Biggest limiting factor is the driver though ;-)

[kylie]

Yeah am doing a driver training day on the track in a months time with instructors, so will hopefully get better at drifting on those hairy corners and not end up in the grass
