Not only that, it’s full of Eastern Promise

I hope Autocar get to test one soon.

I'm sure it'll be slower than the C&D numbers though

Yep, enjoyed those bits
Plus had to laugh at the praying mantis shock therapy!


Was nice to see some local roads in the Spitfire/Scooby test too

Maranello was good too but somehow I found Enzo's place more appealing although a lot smaller

I've been and also went to Enzo's place in town - I quite enjoyed both places but then I was on holiday so tend to enjoy things more on hols anyway. Made me smile seeing a 911 parked right by the entrance :P https://i.imgur.com/n4o1Vjy.jpg Best Ferrari https://i.imgur.com/KzBvg2j.jpg First Ferrari h...

Looks a bit wriggly under braking, but it really wipes the speed off.

Are they taking the pista with qualifying tyres though ?

Or was that just the Hockenheim car?

I knew from the prelim that 2 of the first cars were an old Mini and rwd Escort - was a nice bit of nostalgia as majority of my friends and me started off in one of those 2 Wasn't watching close enough to the Ferrari bit to hear whether they'd gone for the qualifying tyres again to get the lap time ...

Excellent

Seen a few retro cars about today but that would have topped them

Just watching the prelim for Sunday's adventure.
It's got a rusty, shonky old Mk2 Escort going sideways and racing a Mini and Boxster through the Ethiopian desert so I'll be watching
At least until the piano lands.....

Scalextric or Total Control Racing Dan?



P.S. I’m here all week.....

Bit of a suprise yesterday when I started the Boxster up and was engulfed in a huge white cloud of smoke. Cleared in seconds, no smell left behind, Running fine, never done it before, cold started it again in the evening and it didn't do it again. It had torrentially rained the previous day and I w...

Yes, it’s interesting how time changes perception of cars

There’s a fair few revered cars ( these days ) that got average reviews at their time of intro....and vice versa

4 stars is still pretty good though in all honesty

Anyway, for anyone who has never seen it..... Interesting to read the opening lines and see how they thought they’d never test a faster car https://i.imgur.com/QDuGIIk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NCIsh7q.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yu462q6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/C8aOnC8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lVpjoX5.jpg ...
