    Bruntingthorpe On Your Marks 2014

    Doesn't look like I'm going to make it. Got door trouble and the last thing I need is a car I can't get out of! If I manage to fix it in the morning I'll pop up for the afternoon session.

    Oi! Actually you're probably not far off right - who'd want to go in the odd old looking thing :)

    Silverstone Classic and Maserati Centenary parade.

    I'll try and get photos and video of as many of you as I can, since I'm relegated to sitting trackside :)

    Festival of Speed @ Goodwood in June

    Some great shots there Adam. The interior of the Pagani just makes me smile whenever I see it.

    Festival of Speed @ Goodwood in June

    That Alfieri just looks even more awesome every time I see it. I refuse to believe it will be under 100k, otherwise I'll just get my hopes up to have them cruelly dashed.

    Festival of Speed @ Goodwood in June

    Its called understeer, too much speed for the amount of grip available to the front tyres and no amount of lock will make it turn.

    Festival of Speed @ Goodwood in June

    If they loose the bling and bring it in around 80k AND it handles more like a GS than a GT I think it may well sell. Cant see it being much shy of 100k though, no matter what the factory say. Wasn't the 4c originally going to be 30 odd k?

    Llandow 2014 - March 21st

    Not sure about now, but Rockingham was always pretty cheap to race at, normally a good indicator that track days would be pretty cheap too.

    Brunty passes now available

    Good way to bed the clutch in, mine was new when we went last year, didn't do it any harm at all. You definitely don't need to thrash it, you can take it pretty easy and still be faster than almost anything other than datsuns. And if you do go and take it easy, you'll be in the same club as...

    Le Mans 24hr - 11-16th June 2014

    Darn Benny, thats unlucky. Perhaps it's time to consider a more reliable car, such as a 3200 or a Datsun.

    Le Mans prep

    Bearing or handbrake issue perhaps. Had a bit of a strange noise from mine just before the handbrake destroyed the rear offside.

    fog-X for the inside too, protects it from all that warm, moisture laden air :)

    Silverstone Classic and Maserati Centenary parade.

    If you've not booked tickets you've only tonight and tomorrow to do so if you want in-field parking I believe. If you're not in there you won't get near the track. Just a shame I don't still have the orange one :(

    Bruntingthorpe On Your Marks 2014

    Glad you managed to sort it! Brunty is pretty tame, the only way you'll get much better is a private track hire. Lots of cars aren't driven at anywhere near the limit, just out giving passengers a ride. You can drive most of it just like a road; so long as you keep your eyes open for fast cars...

    Ferrari 360 Spider

    Very nice. I don't normally like ragtops but the 360 is worth having an exception for. Did you try out the coupe as well or was the heart set on the spyder? I haven't tried a 458 in anger yet but I'd agree that the 360 has the sweetest handling. Chucking it into a corner it just feels ...

    Bruntingthorpe On Your Marks 2014

    Have you done trackdays before, any advanced driver training or high speed handling courses? If so make sure you tell them that. Have a look on pistonheads or some of the trackday forums, I guess this must come up a lot.
