Now I understand the true difference between a mid engine supercar and everything else.
It was my first time with the GT driving hard through corners. The car is magnificent! Handling is very solid and any oversteer that occurs is very predictable and easy to correct. I got the impression that I just needed to touch a bit the steering in order to correct any oversteer I had. The brakes held very well for 6 laps (didn't have time to do more). The TT set up and gearing fit just right for the track that I was on - most curves I exited in 2nd gear at around 4k RPM. Even taking in to account that I was quite carefull I managed to improve my time in a 600HP 911 turbo with KW suspension by around 6 seconds out of a 1.54.00 lap before.And I was a lot less tired and it was easier for me than doing the lap in a 911 TT.
On the Longest straigt my top speed was 270 km/h compared to 200 km/h in the 911 and in the fast S bend I was going 150 km/h compared to 130 in the 911.
The only set back is that I used up 30% of the fuel tank only in 6 laps
After going back from the track I heard a strange noise coming from the gearbox/ tranny area - It was a quiet rattling sound (kind of like a blender when crushing ice or walnuts) when giving slight gas in 1st and second gear. Maybe It was there before and I am just being paranoid, during acceleration and switching no noise heard - everythinkg works just fine. What could it be?
The temp of the engine did not go up higher than 210.
After that we had a short race with a modded Porsche CGT (about 680 HP) and I was ahead for about 2secs/lap, the driver was not so good though.
Here are some pics that I took at the track and a nice scenery pic taken while we had lunch after the track.
P.S The funny car on the mid picture is the new race series called Legends (you have it in the US) and the model of the white car is called 1936 Ford coupe

In the next 2 - 3 weeks we will try. Also an Enzo will join us. It is very hard to organise such things here because you have to bribe the cops to close the road for 30 mins
