On Monday, I joined a number of other members of the Porsche Club GB forum at another of Goldtrack’s excellent Silverstone track evenings. This time we were using the Silverstone Bridge GP circuit (same as the old GP circuit but with the Historic fast Vale left hander instead of the tight 90 degree one on the Arena GP circuit).
There was the usual fascinating variety of cars including 4 or 5 x 944 models, 2 x 968 models and numerous 911s and GT3 models (including 997 GT3 RS). I was in the trusty Monaro CV8 (5.7 L V8) which managed to work it’s way through what was left of the Yoko A048 tyres, rear pads and some of the diff oil also (when it gets hot on the Monaro – it ends up on the rear tyres and does a good impression of a detonated engine, as much of the oil burns on the exhaust). Other than that, CV8 was very good - especially through the fast turns.
The next Goldtrack evening is August 11th 2010 (Silverstone Arena GP), hence I will be there again in the CV8. Hope to see some of you there. Andrew S
