Let me guess. A Ferrari, MINI, a few P cars and maybe a M5. I'd say the Ferrari is the exotic car.

Exotic: adj. Intriguingly unusual or different

There was nothing unusual or different about having a Ferrari or Porsche that day.

Was the 360 Modena a Challenge Stradale or just a plain (if there is such a thing) 360? I have to admit, that is a HOT car. Oh, and the Mini looks FANTASTIC in that group....

Exotic (for that line up?)- Why the MCS of course. And the nicest color too.

I was fine in the turns, but I did seem to lose a little ground in the two long straights in the middle of the track.

Oh well . . .

[I talked to Peter today about getting some camber plates - maybe they'll allow me a little more speed in the turns]

Stradale - ok, I admit it is a really nice car. The engine compartment is longer than the passenger cage, and what a sound it makes :smile:
