I have seen a few of these at the track, in the right hands they are very capable on track. In the wrong hands (like a surgeon not used to not being the hot s***) they spend some time going agricultural (like all cars I guess )

There was one at the 2014 Parade DE at Laguna Seca. (thstone, sorry for the sloppy line thru the corkscrew - it was Day 1 Session 1.)

No worry! The main point is that you're there and getting after it!

And if it makes you feel any better, I've gone thru there with the left side wheels on that gaiter!

Like this?
Why is the photographer always around to catch a miss-step? My car made a horrible sound that I was sure was the sump being torn off. No warning lights on the dash, so I kept going. Next time thru, I saw I'd run over the grate. Man it made a bad sound but at least it was the grate and not my car.



Just to prove I did some good laps thru the corkscrew:



Back to the topic, all luxury cars drop tremendously in value. Good for owner #2, not so good for owner #1.

Yes, just like that!

I used the same line a few times and heard that same horrible sound from running over the grate.
