It is not that bad once you get used to it, the car is skittish on public roads but NOT in an unsafe manner, it just needs soft hands on the wheel. Steampunk and Vat have posted comments on their little drive on the public roads around Purga. Happy to give you a go behind the wheel as well.

Vat agreed following behind an experienced driver does help, there is no substitute for good quality seat time.

I dunno. All the talent in the world won't get a stock power NA to do 59s, but even a sh*t driver in an R35 can do 60 flat no trouble at all. Power hides a lot of mistakes. I've always subscribed to the idea that it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow though, so I think it's be boring to nail it down the straights and crawl through the corners. Faster, but boring.

I took a few of my mate's GT-R but that was about it. I have put a video on YouTube which was pretty much just me chasing gslender.

Did see a few cameras around, though.

Behold my mad photographic skills and be amazed at the car-to-tarmac-to-empty-space ratio I have captured! :|

Cheers for that, my blue NB is second in line. By the way I thought I saw a snapper in the bushes at the entry to hungry corner?

There was someone taking pics up at Eastern Loop with a red 4x4, I think in the morning - not long before lunch
