Talking You think you have a lame track and cars nearby?

Check what I have to see around here! HA!

Only thing worth mentioning is the Integra being an ex RTR car (not much left of it now..) and an ex Tri Point Mazda 3 (almost identical how it left 2 years ago, Shauna's old car).

Abandoned airport is considered a race track here

Well at least they are learning skills and not doing this on public roads. I guess if there is no track ya gotta make due with what ya got.

That is true! Too bad they still take some of these antics on the road though...

Sorry I don't get it... I don't see anyting wrong with using an abandoned airfiled to train you drivingskills, we race tracks and airfield where I live and some airfield are great to train drifting or driving skills on because of the huge space for errors.

Maybe I missunderstod you..

I am sure that Sweden has dedicated race tracks all over the country, heck, Sweden even manufactures the Koenigsegg! The track surface is extremely bad, including potholes! The GT1 cars (old Trans Am cars) usually break the rear diff because of all the bumps and their inability to put the power down. There are no stands, no safety barriers (unless you count chicken wire and water filled drums), no pits (unless you bring your own tent), no facilities (that tree can make a nice hiding place for your "bodily needs"), no margin for error, etc. Yes, better than taking it out on the streets, but by no means a racetrack. I posted it in a half jokingly way, not to be taken too serious and as a means to show others that not all racing is as nicely setup (location and cars) as it is around the world.

If it's all you got, USE IT!


But transport your Porsche to another country for some track days.

dsycks is infamous around these parts
You seem to also be making fun of the cars.

I track a 2005 Mitsu Evo RS and do quite well with it. Its stupid easy to drive and as such lets me show rather well at our PCA events. Almost an unfair advantage on everything short of well preped 996s with good drivers and up.

With that said I have seen folks in far cheaper cars such as old Honda Civics cut times at tracks I'm pretty quick at that I can not touch.
