Track days and Supras?

mcanny how do you find the auto box on the track?

 

Absolutely fine, I use manual mode of course but it's never really left me stressed out due to a lack of revs or anything, engine braking is spot on... all in all I'm happy enough with it and everyone I take out for passenger rides is shocked at how well the 'box performs.

 

There are odd times when you wish it had another gear for certain corners but you can waft around with the stereo, heated seat and AC on while everyone else gets tired ;)

See, this is whats wrong with this shitty country, they force you off the road on to tracks to have your fun 'legally', and then force you off the tracks because something as pathetic as noise.. arg you cant do anything these days :mad:

 

When I lived in Dartford, there were often stories in the local paper about residents complaints re; noise at Brands Hatch, and now where I live there are similar articles about residents living near Croft.

YOU BOUGHT A HOUSE NEXT TO A FAMOUS RACETRACK, ARE YOU STUPID?

i done one at donnington round about teatime was racing on track been all nervous. then spun it at edge of long straight going into right hander. i lifted off accelerator think it was the weight shifting spun it 180 lol. it soon got dark and pretty scary driving round track looking out for other people. you soon find out that jap brakes are a bit crap. also had a go at elvington and was getting thrown about all over. really good fun though if you can drive.

would be good watching someone like chris driving a supra round track to see what the supra can do in the hands of a good driver.
