It takes bottle but the power gives the car the grip needed. Coming off the throttle there gets things spinning. As I and a few others know from personal experience.

Richard can shift!!!! Really enjoyed the track sessions and particularly following Mark in his GT 3 after waiting for him to take it out all day. Might this be a good time for me to put in an offer on the 993 ? Thanks to Steve for bringing and allowing me a session in the 968 race car. Wonderful ,light ,responsive and challenging. First time I have driven a LHD car. Very fast too. Finding out and getting a part of the BB . What a fantastic idea. It didn't take me long to get the money out and luckily a chance to get a session. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in the planning and purchase of a great little car which I think will become a highlight of RSG. What a difference driving BB compared to my car!!! I really am very spoilt, and it will be a challenge to get the times down but a true measure of the driver as long as the car stays stable. John, I would be keen to share a session with BB at the Playdays 2 August. Let me know if you are still keen. Finally , guys, thanks for such a fun day and for the chance to share it with a great bunch of people.

Over Easter there were several coastal "excursions" planned to some of the remote east coastline in the far north that we ran out of time for. We found a really nice house in Mangonui where we stayed a couple of nights. A far north trip would mean cars can be swapped/hardened up on the way through Auckland as we join Ron for an interesting b-road trip to Taupo. I found some nice roads i'd like to drive again. By September the roads should be repaired and all back to normal. http://www.holidayhouses.co.nz/properties/12494.asp

Let's book the normal group on the 2nd. I'm sure one or two others will join us. If they don't we will have plenty of sessions to make it further up the leaderboard. Do you want to see a trace of your fastest run vs Dave @ 1.28.50?
