Back from Dijon

[zubi]

just back from my first track day in Dijon
... what can I say ... still grinning after 5h drive home
Went with my Z3 M Roadster ... chipped to 340 bhp modified suspension , dome-strut & racing breaks.
the car went fine I trashed my tires though.
"get slicks budd, it's worth it" "nahh I go easy the first time"

All sort of Porsches (exc. gt2), Audis, Ferraris (exc. F40) Vette ZR1 & Lotus Elises which made everybody else look like they want to park their car.
O.K. its lotus battleground I guess. many bends only one straight.
I managed to keep up with some Porschs (rwd) & the vette & the audi S4s.

Now, as you know I'm saving hard to get a 4,5LW Cerbera.
Have somebody been in Dijon with his Cerbie?
How does it keep up with the usual track cars?
Do I have to modifie a lot to gat a good handling on the track? ..... good god the excitment doesn't stop

A well driven Cerbie will easily keep up with other "track day" cars, especially after some relatively cheap suspension mods. Obviously doesn't suit tight & twisty as much as an Elise however - but just have loads of hooligan fun instead.

yours looks like a real racer, great car!

do you think with a stiffer suspension and a set of good slicks I could leave some common week-end track cars well behind?
pls tell me more ...

[dannylt]

To be honest, the biggest difference by far is made by the driver - spend money on tuition!

In terms of car mods, suspension is the most cost effective. I don't know anyone who's used slicks on a cerbera - probably not a great idea in terms of strain on the drivetrain and suspension however - it's still relatively heavy compared to a serious race car.

Thanks for your honest answer!

I stick to the 370bhp hooligan fun
...and work on my driving skills
