So my Dad recently decided he wanted to try a track day with his new-to-him GP2. We went to Putnam Park last October with 10/10ths Motorsports. I got him all set up with 2 days, a new helmet, and a set of Bridgestone RE-71R's for his birthday and rode shotgun with him to give him some coaching. He asked me to take it for a spin and see what I thought. I have to admit, this car is an absolute HOOT on the track. I was running times pretty close to what my FR-S ran on Hankook RS3's. It rotates really well and has plenty of torque. I was pleasantly surprised how well the brakes held up with the e-diff.

Obligatory curb-hopping bicycle action:



And some fun waiting up for a couple friends in an ITR and STI that were running about the same lap times:

 

There's a few of us out here in Arizona. We get joined by occasion 4th car at times. All Manic tuned and slightly modified for track use. Rebuild calipers, stainless brake lines and pad upgrades are the minor changes to make them track worthy.

These cars were engineered for the track. I got in a few HPDE before selling it last fall :(

 

So were Ferraris and how many of those do you see being flung around a race track at more than 50%? Glad to see others out having fun!

 

I have one that has been built as a fully competitive tarmac rally car. Full welded custom FIA spec rollcage, seats, harnesses etc, all the rally computers, extinguishers etc etc.

The car runs in what is a "showroom" category so is not really modified too much, as it is not allowed. Brake pads, lines, fluid with rebuilt calipers. Different springs on the stock shocks with custom valving. Decat.

A lot of fun

 

We will get our newly acquired GP out to Roebling Road in February, can't wait! We also have a 2012 Boss 302, so it will be fun to run the two of them!

 

This car is a blast. As always, working on improving time.

 

Oh man! That does sound fun! I want to drive it!
