Well, do you? Is it that sort of sports car? And if you do, how does it compare performance wise with the usual track day competition?

So a unanimous yes and it was great, superb! Will I with the SS? No, unless I can get proper track cover insurance as the numbers are slightly diffemt. 1560, have you ever tracked your Morgans?

Trads are SO GREAT on track, you have fun, without having to go over your limits or those of the car, I once did some funny stuff to ammuse the TM-fans which was filmed by Simon hence my nick: "goodwood drifter" seriously: go on track, don't push, just enjoy the fact there is no speedcam around, try to ride clean lines and brake a little later than your wife tells you the Aero's have the big Disadvantage of the expensive and difficult repairs, wouldn't want to risk my Aeromax even insured, you can't be sure wether the repairs are - possible technicaly - insurance company might go bankrupt on the bill from MMC - how long would it take to get the car repaire, a year??? (but I did a VIP-trackday on Spa with Maxie, never pushed, just enjoyed driving "free-ly", that day we had only 28cars, and super-gently passings) don't take a Aero-sibbling on a MIXED trackday (regular+preppared cars without numberplate) Steven sold: M3W, Aeromax,V6, 4/4 4seater now: +fourLM62
