Done one track day at the end of last year at Goodwod (Supercar Day), but I was still getting used to it's limits which are abit hard to find to be honest. Anything over the top and it just lets go suddenly and you have very little chance of catching it. So was errrrring on the side of caution.

Quite demanding to drive quickly, and hard to get used too after the cosworth which I could drive on the limit and knew where it was.

This summer should see some improvement though.

TVR did a flying Goodwood lap 1.3 seconds faster than the Cosworth when she was 438bhp, and gave a Porsche GT3 one hell of a shock on Lavant Straight when I out accelerated him every lap. (He did get me back on the corners but I sat on him bumper and kept re-taking him every lap on Lavant. So still pleased........... Just haven't found the limit yet, and hoping it's on a track when I do find it, not on the road.........LOL.
