Some pics from yesterdays track-event (ADSL only)

[beepbeep]

As I mentioned before, friend and I went to biggest Swedish track (yet, another is being buildt) called Mantrop with his GT3.

It was interesting group of cars, F550 Maranello, F355, P944 Turbo, BMW Z3 M, P993 Cup, P996TT Gemballa CTR550, P996TT Techart, P996 GT3 CS, Audi RS4 x 2, Nissan Skyline R-33 and handfull of super-tuned street cars. There was probably no car with less than 300bhp. Some of them had 500+.

Reason to this happening is that friendly guy (with one of those rally Audi Quatros) that I know from one streetracing-forum i'm moderator at (Zatzy.com) rented whole track for a day to test his cars and invited bunch of us car-nuts to join him.

His quattro (pic by Jimmy):

All in all, wonderfull day. We (actually I l drove GT3 down, did some very fast laps and drove it back in one piece. It has 1000 miles on the odo but took it quite well. Street-tyres however didn't, they started to melt quite soon.

Track-racing is addictive! GT3 is one helluva car. It's not aircooled but who cares. It goes like stink!

I just realized what's written on the side of the Audi. Dahlback. Isn't this the guy that built the ~900hp Golf? Full CF, where the rear seat used to be he put a muffler.... that car was CRAZY!

Hello!

Just came back from the sea! Yupp, Hans Dahlbäck is the guy who built the Audi. He built it before Golf, engine is more or less identical. Hans was actually invited to this event but couldn't make it.

About the Golf, both track times and horsepower figures for Golf are considered by most "insiders" in Sweden to be grossly exaggerated.

It's a cool and quick car (I saw it many times) but I doubt it has 900hp.

IMSA GTO audis didn't have more than 750, did they?
