*******.

There was some seriously nice cars out there.

Pagani Zonda, Koenigsegg CCX, Ferrari Enzo and 599, Diablo x2, etc...

That orange Diablo is my dream car...

That last corner on the track is really hard to get right, even the Enzo was twitching around it On a later run I nailed the corner before Gambon and came out of it really fast....in fact too fast to get around Gambon and ended up going very wide and braking into the run off area Ive got brand new Pilot Sport 2 tires on the wheels now ready for this season.

beautiful vid, and I gotta say very nice recovery, have you had a chance to clean off your seat???

 

[Fatboy 18]

My passenger and I were both laughing out loud

LOL AWESOME!!! I must say, there is something red missing on your car though, let's just keep that between the two of us

Outstanding assembly of iron/carbon-fibre! That was an S7 right (in silver)?

Great collection of hardware! Your Viper looked great out there. You're gonna be amazed when you try the PS2s.

Now if Michelin would only make the Super Sports for the Gen II rears...

 

[MTGTS]

Looks like a blast! How do they do the lapping there though? I thought the track has a crossover or a section that you use twice?

CEJ Here's another pic of some of the Hardwear

You must be registered for see images attach

Can you spot the Black 55 Chevy in that bunch

DrumrBoyLooks very similar to the Saleen S7 but it is in fact one of these

MTGTS OK, we do 2 laps with a paying passenger, it is not a race.....Yea right We start off at the normal start line then the first bend is a fast sweeping bend called CROONER, just after this they put in a chicane to slow us up entering WILSON, then we stay on the outside of the track (1st overtaking straight) down to HAMMERHEAD, we enter this from the wrong direction. We then have the main runway back straight to get our pedal to the metal, its wide and fun, sometimes you can have 3 cars in a row all going for it We then back off approaching BACHARACH, where they put in another chicane to stop us overshooting the track

This is normally a one day event, but this year we are doing this for a whole Weekend. 23rd and 24th June. We are all volunteers so there is no track fee to pay, just your own fuel etc.
As you come off the track you move around to join the Que of cars, pick up your next passenger and out you go again. Its a blast

Dang, that's almost worth the flight over to England! Great pic too, thanks for sharing!

Thanks FB. The taillights were decidedly not Saleen's but I have never seen one of those in motion before.....much sleeker than the earlier "stubby and ugly" Moslers!

What a fantastic event....for both drivers, passengers and the charity it all goes to. Well done!
