Default track day autodromo internacional algarve portuga;

some of use might have seen my thread on my 3dr resto/build,thought it was time we gave the 3dr its first track day at the autodromo internacional de algarve portugal.was a long old trek 1100km round trip but was well worth it.cossie never missed a beat all day.here are some pics
me loading car on trailer


last minute checks before we set of with rock of gibraltar in background

we have arrived and are at ticket office sorting paper work etc

rear wheels of getting set of r888 put on

pit boxes were massive and the lovely sight of 2 3drs togeather drew the crowds in all day

in the que to get out there and see if all my hard work had paid of

getting stuck in on a busy corner


working those r888 hard

m8s civic type r went really good in corners but was no match for cossie power in straights

nice clean n tidy mk3 escort track car

dont see these very often. renault spider
nice ferrari

1 of the tracks toys

well after a quality day its time to go home

wicked track over 4 miles long longest straight 986 mts with blind corners up hill and downhills cant wait to go again.
