TheTurtleshead Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I am very excited to have just received these pictures! Basically I was working for a motoring publication on a photoshoot at Millbrook proving ground, and as it was a nice forecast I decided to take the supra. In the back of my mind I was also hoping for the opportunity to take some pictures! However I was quickly disappointed when my camera was sealed into it's case and sticker was placed over my phone Camera lens. (Security is taken very seriously as manufacturers pay a lot of money for privacy when testing their new cars... I was very lucky to coerce one of the official photographers sisters to take some photos for me on the banking.. she did a great job I thought as she is not a professional. The day got better from there, as once the shoot for the motoring publication was over, I was asked by one of the course marshals, "Would I like to do a lap of the banking?" Errrr let me think.... YES! Richard Dredge, one of the photographers, also snapped some action shots of the car in motion at 100MPH, I have uploaded a good one below. I can confirm the 'Neutral Steer' effect does work, so let go of the wheel at 100MPH at the top of the banking and the car will steer itself. We pulled off the banking, and the course marshall stopped and came over to my window, grinning like a cheshire cat I couldn't believe my luck when he asked if I wanted to do a lap of the alpine handling circuit as well...! (This is where they filmed the Aston martin barrel roll in Casino Royale) No Pics sadly as I was A - Driving, and B- Didn't want to take the piss/break the rules after how awesome the staff were treating us. Needless to say this was definitely one of the best days of Supra Ownership I have had. Getting my car sideways on the Alpine circuit was always going to be highlight Anyway, Pics!

Sooty Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Wow, great pictures! I was there only a few weeks back for a low carbon vehicle event. The alpine track and the high speed ring were great fun to drive around even if it was only in an i8 haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
