I wonder if the Camaro in the vid thread would be in budget?

Based on extensive research (playing gran turismo on the ps5) I’m going for a 458 f1.

The budget should be enough to prise the ex (Andy?) Forrest Westfield from the current owner.

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.

It's almost like people aren't taking this highly likely scenario seriously or something!

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? :lol: I'm thinking you'd get as far as deactivating the pit limiter and one up shift :lol:

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.

Slicks? In December? I'd be running on p6000s!
