Only none drift spec car they allowed on the circuit, bit of a crowd pleaser haha.


CC = rubbish for getting off the line. 14.3 best run, 112 mph terminal though so once it's going it's an animal. Just bogs down off the line.

Secretly a bit jealous though, wish I could do that, and know I would just end up in the fence looking like a t!t

Status: offline 		Nice pics Xeno! and very good car control!
.....I hear what your saying Conaero! ....but these cars are more than up to some occasional hard use ala 'italian tune up' (in moderation!)

Was at York raceway on sunday watching some american muscle/wild bunch cars drag racing etc, saw a few cars RWYB and spur of the moment thought i wouldnt mind a go!!!
Walked around to enquire at race control, £30 down and 20 mins later i was lined up on the start line next to a v6 156 Alfa with NOS! ha ha
I got a shocking reaction of 1.8 but did a 13.8 1/4 mile @103mph (traction off) I only did 4 runs as i didnt want to kill my clutch!
I did 2 more runs with traction off, but the CC is not easy to launch! It pauses for a second before deciding to engage and then your off!
My 4th and last run i put traction on and held it on the brake (left foot) to put it under a little bit of load I got a .7 reaction as a result! My time wasn't any better though as the traction pegged me back a bit (should stayed with tc off!) time was 13.97 @102mph
Pretty sure low13s or high 12s easily possible! (but only if someone wants to pay for my clutch!)
Had great fun!

ps
I beat the Alfa!

n1 Chillio on giving it some beans up the strip :)

Status: offline 		£80 for a set of part worn Michelin 285/30/19 I drove down on. £120 for some budget Accelera 285s I bought there. 

Back on P Zero 265s now @ £350 for a set of rears, but I needed them before anyway so it's not like it was an additional cost.
