Your £140k track car
Re: Your £140k track car
I wonder if the Camaro in the vid thread would be in budget?
Re: Your £140k track car
Based on extensive research (playing gran turismo on the ps5) I’m going for a 458 f1.

It’s a GT3 for me. it’s the default answer for a reason.

The budget should be enough to prise the ex (Andy?) Forrest Westfield from the current owner.
Re: Your £140k track car
I’d be cheeky and go for the full package, get there in luxury and have the knowledge you can smash it up and still get home. With that in mind
W12 bentagaya tow car

Ultima spider for open top v8 loudness (wonder how many black flags you can get for noise?)

Leaving you 10k change to get a trailer.
If it has to be a road going car and you can only buy one it would be go buy a gt Porsche of some kind

That Ultima looks the business. Almost cheap for that money.
Send me links to cars for sale with throttle bodies.

Say you find a testing day in December, single seaters allowed. How long do you think you'd last in a GP2 type car on Pirelli slicks?
I'm thinking you'd get as far as deactivating the pit limiter and one up shift 
How about not having a sig at all?

Denial denied. A quick google reveals that Javelin have a formula trackday on 19th March.
Your arbitration has made a mockery of the sanctity of the ov9 poll system and I'm disappointed in you.
