Anyway dude the pics are fine! Must have been a great day!

[SPEED_DEMON82]

^^ Well sorry for posting in the wrong section....u see i dont start many topics in the forum :mrgreen: ....as for the track day...well all i can say is ..it was chaotic as for the event management goes.....but was a great day overall for me....we dont get to see these kinda cars everyday here in India...not many are there.
You guys wont believe this but this Ferrari 360 is the only 3rd 360 in my city.

Nice turnout... any times for the races?

Wooopss goofed up :oops: ...u see there was a mad rush there and a the turnoout of spectators was much much more than what the organisers had expected...so i never got to get into the spectators enclosure and thus never managed to catch even a single race....although for the times ive heard that there was a particlar Mitsubishi Lancer (Indian Model) tuned by a firm that clocked the days and events fastest time among the cars..was some 11 odd seconds...surprising isnt it :)

[-Akshay-]

bravo! nice pics man

[No.1]

Nice to see some good cars in india 8) The white Impreza is sexy, and the C6 must be very rare. Shame you didn't get pics of all the cars in the list... some of them sound pretty nice :(
