Default Took this out today at Silverstone

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_0034.jpg

Driven in automatic as there is alot to concentrate on. Revs limited too so was on limiter at 155 down hanger straight - damm it Stoner hit 203.

Managed to overtake 2 Astons so pretty pleased.

Highly recommended for a nice rush........

LOL at guy on gate - "Why are you driving a GTR when you have a Impreza" :-)

Looks good stuff, i had a track day bought for me by the missus and the gtr was the one i chose to drive out of all the different ones available, got there on the day really excitd and it was the only car that had broken down all day so got landed with an audi r8, not happy at all, you would have thought out of all the cars there it would be the last one to break down!! Lol

I think it was called the "Nissan GT-R thrill" not experience package. Includes a 25 minute briefing and 3 laps of the Southern Circuit that includes hanger straight, stowe corver, vale and club corners, up the pit straight into Abbey then village - about 6 miles in total.

May sound short and I thought the same but it was brilliant.

Dont bother with the Audi R8 or Astons.....

Thanks to my kids for the fathers day pressie.

Must have been a right buzz driving that then

Saw the GT-R's terrorising the Fords at the Ford Fair up at Silverstone last weekend and they were fast as **** - the only thing that blitzed the GT-R's was a very nicely prepared Mountune GT40 Le Mans - now that was rapid through the corners !!
