Some of you brought you cars along so I thought you might like to watch the video of the cars on the track.

First some info on what the day was about.

REMEMBER: The next one is on 16th May 2010 at the same location.


These were filmed at a charity event a few months ago at the Top Gear test track.

On 16th may 2009, a group of Sportscar Enthusiats visited the Top Gear track and gave rides to people on behalf of the Tadworth Childrens Trust. The Trust operate the UK's largest paediatric brain injury rehabilitation centre alongside other services including community support for children with acquired brain injury (ABI), special education for pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), short breaks, transitional, palliative and long-term nursing care.

No timing allowed.

Top Gear do the circuit as a figure of 8 type layout which wasn't possible with so many cars on the track at the same time.

As I now know what happens on teh day, I'll be using a multi camera set up and will use my 348 as the camera car on track. It's the only way I'll be able to keep up with the F40's.

Hope the Stradales will be able to keep up with me though. biggrin
