Default Track Day today......

Last Christmas I was bought a great present from the wife and kids - a track day, Aston Martin DB9 Vantage and Audi R8.

Luckily the weather was great and I managed to not crash anything.

A few pics of one of the corners:

Overtook the Ferrari....


Overtook the other R8.....


Pulling away from the R8...




Went around in a Scooby with an instructor first and when he found out I was doing the DB9 and R8 he suggested that I should go in the DB9 first then the R8 as I would get the best out of them.

Ended up having to do it in the opposite way.

And a short video of me driving the DB9 (first lap to not very fast...)




Which one was my favorite??

I preferred the DB9 over the R8 I'm afraid (could be because I was more used to the track) as I could ring its neck a bit more

Cheers
