Bumping this one as it's only 4 days away. I'm definitely going, with my old petrolhead flatmate in tow. Will be turning up in a 350Z though rather than a Maser. <blushes>

Pat, nothing wrong with a 350Z...Good car that...

Saturday was very entertaining. Qualifying was very competitive. I've got some shots of passing and spins. I'll share them during the week.

I hope the weather holds for you guys but heard it was going to get a bit wet and miserable in the afternoon. Have fun.

Andyk · Jul 17, 2011

Going national Alfa day if weather is OK so will miss this...Look forward to the pics though.

First race was red flagged after 16 laps as they were all on slicks and a heavy shower occurred at the first corner. By the time all the cars came into the pits the shower had stopped and the track was dry.

Klive, is it on the box?

It's a supporting race for the WTCC, which is on Eurosport. So try there. Next race is either 15:00 or 15:15

Parisien · Jul 17, 2011

Ok...will check there....plus aint there a motors TV on 413 too, programme starts at 1.30 pm

The maserati's are running at 15:15. We've got a noisy Autogp race at 13:00 and some more WTCC at 14:15. So perhaps another channel maybe showing the non WTCC races.

Well what a great afternoon. The weather stayed more or less dry and the cars were awesome. Oh the noise!

Good to see you Pat, and I hope your friend manages to get his racing seat sorted.

Some photo's for your delectation...

Not sure if this link will work for public consumption, but if it does then I recommend earplugs - a Maserati Corsa at full chat!

Was that Miles I saw peering into the car? Certainly something to aim at noisewise!

You're right Pat...Link doesn't work...Or for me it doesn't.....But I'm using my imagination and yes they are very loud.....

It was Benny. They had the car up on stands and the mechanic jumped in and fired it up and went through the gears, fine-tuning the gear change speed I think. He had it up above 100 mph standing still! The noise was awesome, but when the mechanic got out I said it could have been a bit louder, as not really in the same league as the Larini orchestra.

What did you think of the black MC Stradale..?

It's growing on me having seen a couple now. It certainly looks like it means business, but doesn't seem to show off the lines to the same extent as it does in white and those lovely wheels get a bit lost under the black body, but then in white I find the front end mods incongruous. Overall I'd still go for white given the chance.
