If you havent done one....do it. You really get to find out what these beasts can do.
It was a great day and I congratulate all the instructors on a job well done.
When do the scars on the tyres dissappear? :-)
I got my "compendium" thingy in the mail early this week and it has the details of how to book in for the drive day, i have only 3000k on mine, so i might run it in for another couple of thou before i thrash absolute crapper out of it. How much does it stuff youre tyres by the way ?

M8, are you Roger? If so, why didn't you make yourself known to Andrew and myself. He had the Lightning Strike GT and mine's the Venom red GT-P. If only we had known!. But, yes, was a ball-tearer of a day. I was stuffed when I got home. You don't realize how fit you have to be to throw those things around a track. I am absolutely amazed how well the GT's go and just as impressed with the brakes, they are un-****ing-believable. Most of us got a hotl lap with Greg RITTER (V8 Supercar driver) who had a FPV GT loan car, and proceeded to give a rather distorted view of a quick lap by going virtually sideways around most of the track. Very impressive what these cars can do in the right hands. All in all, a most enjoyable day was had by all.
sorry...yeah....i'm roger..i should have spoken up
yeah...i got to sit in the front with greg on his hot lap....i reckon he was a little outa control on the first corner...but a good recovery.
and yes I agree...the brake are great.....from 170 to nothin...in a very short distance.....I tried it on the main straight...just to tect them out....I dont think ya need the Brembos...the premiums work well enough
