| Awesome thread and very good pics too! A rare F40 thundering down the straight,would have made quite some noise from those turbo v8s! Somehow i always get confused between the 924,944 and 968 never could remember which one is which! Quirky 914 but i will take the cream "04" 930 please.  |

 wholeheartedly!I can't imagine being there! Listening to a dozen flat-six-pack motors firing up and being flogged around the track; not to mention a light sprinkling of V8s and 4-potters. It must be heaven! The 930 would be my pick as well! It wears beautiful wheels, that. It's not hard to notice that 'Vettes are popular track-tools as well! That also could be due to the low-cost body panels(?) Keep 'em coming Avi! | |

| Senior - BHPian | I had to drive all the way to the back of the racetrack to take better pix..like the ones above.. The route was via in roads..pretty scenic. I then parked my car up the hill and walked all around the various interesting turns.  Last edited by 14000rpm : 28th October 2010 at 10:49. |

| Team-BHP Support  | My gawd, you lucky guy you! Those are some stunning shots. What exactly was your location around the track, and which camera do you use? People always talk of how amazing Ferraris sound at high rpms. Well, I have to say Porsches are right up there....while the Ferrari pipes are exotic, there's something very mechanical & precise about Porsche's on the redline. How about info on the day's highlights? Who was the quickest? Any incidents? That Nissan GT-R had guts to come to a Porsche track day. Bet everyone tried to lick him (unsuccessfully?) Your thread has made its way to our homepage. Thanks for sharing. |

The camera was a Canon T1i/500D with 18-55mm lens. Quote:

No timings..insurance issues. the moment this event gets timed, then the regular insurance immediately goes invalid. this is a loophole. The Nissan GT-R's (3) drove in group 2 and therefore, were not run at their prime. This event, although organised by Porsche, was open for all sports cars on registering with SCCA (sports cars club of america). Quote:
I've got lots more pix still to come..this is still day one.  | ||||
