Sytner Ferarri/Porsche/Maserati Track Day

[GreigM]

Just a quick note to say how enjoyable the Sytner (formerly Glenvarigill) track day was today at Knockhill. My car was thrashed to within an inch of it's existence, and have never seen so many Ferarri and Porsche in the one place (80 cars on track, many more to be seen!)

Some highlights included: GT3RS & GT3 battling with many 360,355 and a 360CS.

Seeing an F40, Dino, Lambo Diablo and many other very rare and expensive pieces of machinery being thrashed.

Seeing a F40 spin as the turbos kicked in half way down the straight.

The sound from the Lambo Diablo was awesome...pity it's so heavy he had to brake half way along the straight.

It certainly was a great day and great weather also, surprised when the Bentley came out but don't know why he only did 3 laps

Very nice picture Ian....any more?

Were you driving yourself, or just taking good pics?

[Ian_H]

Hi Greig
No such luck at driving, just decided to head up and take some photos (and yes I've got 100's more)

The Porsche Cayennes were pretty mad as well. There was a black one which went off at the right hand bend after duffus dip and was powersliding through grass and gravel. Tyres squeling around every corner.

I shouldn't admit it but I have..
It slipped away while I was distracted,
I swear I havent changed, how did this happen?......

Ian,

Fantastic picture - are you professional, or just a very very good amateur? Will you be putting the rest on your website? Sorry to ask so much, but if the rest are as good as these then I want to see them (and have more than a little interest in seeing if my car is in there).

If anyone want's to see a Boxster wrestling with a F355, my first video from the day is here

but beware, it's 50Mb. I've got more if anyone wants to see once they're ready, let me know and I'll post them up.

[Ian_H]

At a guess, is this you Greig?



Great vid by the way


Cheers

I can't believe the yellow Ferrari did not get flagged in.
Dangerous driving to my view.

the first clip is a corker , its a testament to either your driving ability , the Boxster or that the chap in the 355 is not as fast as he thinks he is

loverly job
