Well, well, well. I had another brilliant day yesterday......headed for the track at around 7am in my friends 328.

Once on the freeway we caught the truck carrying the car I was so excited to see at the track - the F430 Challenge. Only 5 in Australia and this is the only one in Perth.

Little did I know about 6hrs later I would be going around the track in it for some hot laps. :shock: It was only a matter of asking and waiting my turn. I've already been around the track in the road-going F430 so I was keen to feel the difference. Straight line speed wasn't noticeably better but in the corners is where you felt it - my neck was sore after those few laps. The gearchange also feels alot more abrupt, plus its noiser in the cabin and alot less comfortable. I can't imagine driving the thing in an endurance race - I'd be stuffed!

Anyway here is an in-car video I took: http://www.ozcarsightings.com/430CH_Barbagallo.WMV

Now to the pics - taken with my new camera, a Canon 350D for those not aware.
