Nice. Everyone should take theirs on the track at least once. Just amazing to push them to their limits in a safe environment.

 

I used their Vantage instead of mine... being 65, I'm not as sharp as I was just a decade ago. I quit flying and sold my A-36 12 years ago because I was felling behind, I no longer pull wheelies on my Buell S1 (constantly), and now ride it like a scooter (which is also OK), don't roller skate no more either. Being my thinking and reflexes are not what they used to be (a fact of aging), I wanted to see what my comfort limit was and also the capabilities of the car when professionally driven. This is what I found out... I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be and probably at best drove the car at 50% of it's capability. The V8 was easy by feel to judge shift points - the V12S is so smooth it's hard to judge. If I had an entire day just building up familiarity with the track I probably could learn to use the tach more and be quicker. The day was to discover my own limitations, and that of the car. It also amazed me what this Vantage can do.
