The GTR got away great.. its all in the start, do it again and wont the GTR get away even better - doesn't have some trickery where it learns from the previous start and makes it better (or was that a different car)

Not sure on the GT-R but that's a party trick of the 458 Italia.

Thats the fella, so maybe the 458 would get better and match it then eventually take it...

GTR does well though for a datsun.

The Litchfield GTR at Castle Combe on Satdee was awesome.  :driver:

Quickest car in a straightline for sure I reckon just watching from the sidelines.

LFA or 458 for me, reckon I would be right at home with either of those two round a track!

After the line up was described my bet was on the 458, but that Nissan really dug it's claws in and launched well.
Far play to it beating the yellow Fezza.

(no one mention that nissan subsidises the costs out their own pockets, shhhhhhh)

A 997 turbo s PDK would have won this race easy if it was there

85PS worth of white goods is amusing trying to overtake. I managed to overtake a Coach and a Tractor last week  :surprised:

Shame the mclaren wasnt their or some of the old skool supercars.

Would have to be 458 for me though, althought for the money the GTR is an amazing car.
