It was a packed out day for those that were out there at the track and great fun to drive one of these flat out with worrying about any speed camera's.

Have some better picks on te other camera and will post when i get 5.

Yes CDAA at AIR they have them here at the moment, its just a bit of fun and worth the bucks.

www.v8race.com

will give you all of the data, the cars are (speed) limited and you probably have more grunt in the GT but still worth it.

Thanks Pete, I'll check it out.

Do you know what the car's actually are i.e. enhanced XR8's or GT's? What engines are they powered by? I'm still due to do my FPV track day but haven't booked it yet.

Colville, I may be wrong but id guess the boss 290 motor, they do have the slicks / race set up etc but i found the motor wanting down the straight, i wanted more it didnt give it to me and felt exactly like a speed limiter does when you hit it ( Just guessing ) but they stick like glue around the corners and are a buz, also i would say an xr8 tricked up rather than a gt but could be wrong there.

cheers
Pete
