It would appear that by some miracle I've won an afternoon at the Nissan Race Academy at Silverstone a week Monday. Grin

Hooning around in 370Zs and GT-Rs - it's a hard life. Grin Grin Grin

Grats Dave, was it some 350Z owners give away price?

Be sure to make some pictures to post here (or better mount a camera somewhere and show what your pace is in real life Tongue)

Yeah, a NissanSportz 'sweepstake' based on the bonus ball from Saturday night's lottery draw.

Funny thing is, I entered and then never thought to check the numbers after the draw. (Not being mathematically inept I don't do the lottery. Wink ) Checked the thread on Sunday afternoon and was wondering why everyone was congratulating number 34... laugh

Quite right. laugh

I survived. Cheesy

Got the highest score of the day in the GT-R, but fluffed my head to head 'gymkhana' battle and only finished 6th of about 30 - top 3 went through to the next round.

GT-R is immense in capability.

Full write up later.

In order: 85% 370Z, 92% GT-R, head-to-head was 26.79, that was my first run, second run I got the car sideways and lost too much time bringing it back, ended up with a 27.

Ah man, destroyed me!

83% 370z
88% GT-R
26.15 Head to Head

I was gutted with my H2H time, I was certain I could get in the 25's and mucked up the slow left circle bit (went to slow, scared of understeering). Nice times for u

I can at least claim I was beaten by the brother of an F1 driver  Tongue
