RUF Sweden had a trackday 1. may, which I attended with my GT2. As this was my first time on track, I had booked an instructor the whole day, which was the best money I have ever spent! Had an awesome day, shaving of 15 seconds of my laptimes during the day

My instructor tok a mate out for a few laps, we mounted the video camera, and got a few nice laps with some action I was in the pit nervous as hell watching some close calls with my car

Murcielago offroad for the 3rd time today




Was a bit offroad myself:




The day started wet:




Slow ferraris

 

Nice vid&pics! What camera/mic setup you use?

 

Just a cheap MiniDV-recorder mountet to the roll bar, not sure about what brand/model!

 

Anyway, i asked because i noticed a nice exhaust note. Is the exhaust stock?

 

RUF

 

Well, this explains all

 

That was awesome!

 

Nice pics Marius!
I was there with the Silver 996 GT2, Saw you on the track but never had a chance to say hello in the pit.

Hi Marius and nice to have met.

I can tell you all that the lap times improved a lot during the day. I stood at the hairpin at the end of the day and it was clear you were going must faster than before.



Some of my pics, more to come:

 

Nearly been where that GT3 driver was near the end of the video How I kept it from spinning I have no idea! That also looks like Oakley's prepped GT3 so far from stock.

 

great pics as always Erik!!!

how was the Oakley car?

 

Thanks!

I like it a lot. The shifter is a must, once tried it feels difficult to part with it.
We had a lot of journalist who tried the car during the week. In the theory of things, a lot of people seem negative but once they try it they step out of the car very, very positive. I didn't drive the car (steering wheel on the wrong side + race track = bad combo) but I did test shifting for Jon and the feeling was really nice.

As a passenger it's difficult to sense how much difference all the Oakley Design parts on this car make, but the car felt really good and light. Felt like it was very easy to place the car, and point it in the direction you want to go.

I had a few hotlaps with Jon Oakley, and it's really nice to step into a car with a professional behind the steering wheel. Now they also make mistakes, as can be seen on the video But it was quite wet outside the ideal line and he was on Michelin Cups, not a very good combo as we all know.

 

Awesome video!! It makes me wish I could go out to the track today GT2 in the wet does scare the utter **** out of me, I assume you were taking it nice and easy during the first part of the day. Good driving buddy!!

 

Ah, its a small world, isnt it? Next time, say hello
